The only source on the Voters Strike Back work (a 2015 article by Ben Cady and Tom Glazer) places it in the N.Y.U. Review of Law & Social Change, not a 'Social Justice Law Review,' and no source names that journal. The article is also a 2015 scholarly piece, which may not be the ~100-page playbook the claimant describes.
What was said
… This is, I think I've told the story before, but we were in the run-up to our trial and, you know, trying to figure out why the plaintiffs were making this certain arguments that they were making, and what are they really doing? And then my co-defendant Holly found Voters Strike Back, and it is a NYU Law School Social Justice Law Review playbook. It's like a hundred pages, and it goes through what the strategy is, and then it goes through all of the case law, and it goes through, um, you know, kind of role playing type of stuff, things to think about, pitfalls to avoid. …
Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The NYU source for 'Voters Strike Back: Litigating against Modern Voter Intimidation' (Volume 39, Issue 2) identifies the publisher as the N.Y.U. Review of Law & Social Change, not a Social Justice Law Review.[3]
Context. NYU's journal listing shows 'Review of Law and Social Change' among its student journals and includes no 'Social Justice Law Review,' so the claimed journal name is not corroborated by any source.[2]
Context. The claimant's passage calls the item a 'NYU Law School Social Justice Law Review playbook,' so the extracted claim matches the post's wording; the claim's journal name is the claimant's own, and the sources do not match it.[3]
Context. Snopes's 2020 article on PILF's playbook is about a different organization and document and does not address Voters Strike Back.[1]
