Israel quietly deployed its Iron Dome air defense system along with dozens of IDF troops to the United Arab Emirates in the early days of the Iran conflict, according to reporting, marking the first operational use of the system outside Israel and the United States as Tehran unleashed a sustained and intense missile and drone barrage against the Gulf state.

In 2019, the Scottsdale Unified School District in Arizona spent over $20 million to tear down and completely rebuild a school named Pima Elementary. This year, it voted to close the school.

Pima Elementary, designed for up to 840 students, reopened at less than 60% of that capacity, and it continued to decline. This fall, just seven years later, the school building won’t contain a single student.

Far from a one-off tale of district mismanagement, the closing of a brand new $20 million school building illustrates how easy special interest groups find it to manipulate school districts.

A nationwide baby bust had begun eight years before the bond election, meaning that there were already fewer students to go around. Likewise, the high price of housing in Scottsdale became a significant deterrent to young families locating there.

The district annually pays for an outside firm to provide a report on demographic and enrollment trends, so none of this should have caught members by surprise. Eight years into a baby bust that began in 2008, and despite standing at only 55% of physical capacity, Scottsdale Unified pushed for and received a $229 million bond for buildings in 2016.

Critics of school choice always attempt to scapegoat family options, but district open enrollment remains the largest form of choice, and Scottsdale Unified is a net beneficiary of the give-and-take between districts.

Approximately 26% of Scottsdale Unified students come from outside of their attendance boundaries, and without students transferring in from other districts, far more Scottsdale schools would long ago have closed.

Arizona Department of Education enrollment reports show that if open enrollment, charter schools, and the state’s education savings account program were all eliminated, the net impact on Scottsdale Unified enrollment would be only a few hundred students. In the process of eliminating choice programs, thousands of students would leave their preferred schools, including many in Scottsdale Unified itself.

In other words, the district both gains and loses students through choice, and choice is not the primary driver of enrollment loss.

The district had substantial underutilized space when it decided to ask voters for over a quarter of a billion dollars in building funds in 2016. Why then did a school district with declining enrollment and abundant underutilized space go $229 million in debt on new buildings?

The answer has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with education outcomes.

Building district schools is a profitable activity, with some studies showing districts spending about one-third more per square foot than public charter schools.

School district elections have low visibility and low rates of voter turnout. Low visibility, low turnout, and high profits are a recipe for corruption.

The Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting and KJZZ reported in 2017 on financial relationships school districts in the Phoenix area had with a small group of architects, construction companies, and subcontractors. They found that architects, construction firms, and subcontractors accounted for nearly all the financial contributions made to Maricopa County (which contains the greater Phoenix metropolitan area) school districts’ bond and override campaigns from 2013-2016, including the Scottsdale Unified election.

Such pay-to- play crony capitalism would be more than dubious even in a fast-growing district, but it has also been happening in districts with shrinking enrollments like Scottsdale Unified.

In the years following the bond election, authorities charged Scottsdale’s superintendent with 18 felonies, including procurement fraud and misuse of public monies. The superintendent and other top administrators resigned, but the dubious construction, like that at Pima Elementary, proceeded. Multiple schools were torn down and rebuilt, and Pima may only be the first of these schools to close, rather than the last.

Scottsdale Unified is far from the only district to build new space despite declining enrollment. A recent study published by the Common Sense Institute of Arizona found that Arizona school districts statewide have a staggering 78 million square feet of underutilized or vacant school space, which could accommodate as many as 630 thousand additional students. For context, school districts statewide educate approximately 800 thousand students statewide.

National exams of student academic achievement show approximately the same success for Arizona school districts in teaching mathematics and reading as they have had in physical plant management. Spending per pupil is up, and achievement is down.

Arizona charter schools outscore all statewide averages on both eighth-grade reading and math despite getting less taxpayer spending per pupil, while the scores of Arizona school districts rank near the bottom.

The unfortunate reality to confront is that school districts are not so much broken as they are working perfectly for the interests of their major shareholders. These include not just builders but also unionized employees.

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received 238 pages of records from the State of Nevada Office of Attorney General in a Nevada Public Records Act lawsuit that show the state’s close coordination with the nonprofit States United Democracy Center, which has pushed indictments of President Donald Trump’s supporters, lawyers, activists, and Republican Party officials who challenged the results of the 2020 election.

Judicial Watch sued the state of Nevada Attorney General’s office after it failed to respond to a February 2025 records request for documents and communications involving the States United Democracy Center (SUDC) and the Voter Protection Project (VPP) (Judicial Watch Inc. v. State of Nevada ex. rel. Office of the Attorney General (No. A-26-941044)).

The States United Democracy Center was accused of helping to develop legal theories and materials related to the prosecution of alternate slates of Republican electors in the 2020 election. The Voter Protection Project is a left-wing political action committee that donates to far-left candidates who support eliminating many U.S. election security laws.

The records include a January 2021 internal email from States United Democracy Center’s Fiona Dwyer-McNulty referencing a one-hour “AG Briefing” featuring outside participants, including Mary McCord; representatives from 21CP Solutions; Jared Holt of DFR Labs; Shannon Hiller of the Bridging Divides Initiative; and Norman Eisen.

In an April 15, 2021, email chain labeled “Bipartisan Sign-on Letter re Corporate Leadership,” Joanna Lydgate, president and CEO of Voter Protection Program/States United Democracy Center, writes to Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford:

As you know, I’m the CEO of the Voter Protection Program … As of Monday, VPP will become a project of our new umbrella 501(c)(3) organization, the States United Democracy Center, but our mission will remain the same. We are looking forward to continuing our work with you under our new name.

One of the first projects of the States United Democracy Center is organizing an open letter to the business community from a bipartisan coalition of current and former state officials — governors, lieutenant governors, attorneys general, and secretaries of state — urging businesses to continue to speak out in support of voting rights and applauding those who have done so already. [Emphasis in original] I have attached a PDF of the letter, which is co-sponsored by current Governors Roy Cooper (NC) and Gretchen Whitmer (MI) and former Governors Arne Carlson (MN), Bill Weld (MA), and Christine Todd Whitman (NJ).

I’m writing to ask you to join these governors in expressing your support for the freedom to vote and your concern about the voting restrictions being proposed across the country.

Lydgate welcomes Nevada General Counsel Leslie M. Nino Piro to the email chain and Piro responds: “It’s great to meet you, Joanna! I look forward to working with you as well.” Later, Attorney General Aaron Ford writes that Piro will “be attending with and/or for me going forward.”

Renee D. Carreau, executive assistant to the solicitor general, writes to Lydgate and others: “Nevada would like to sign on to this letter. Please see our signature block attached. Please let me know if you need anything further & send us the final letter after it has been sent.” She later writes:

Ms. Lydgate & Dwyer-McNulty,

I would like to request to add our Solicitor General, Heidi Parry Stern, cc’d above, and me to any of these types of communications. We handle all multistate litigation and sign-ons to Amici briefs and letters. Either Ms. Stern or I will be responding to the below request, before COB tomorrow. Please let me know if you any questions.

The letter, addressed to “Dear Business Leaders,” opposes a “a wave of voter restrictions sweeping the country.”

In a February 2025 email to Dwyer-McNulty, Nevada Chief Deputy Attorney General Greg D. Ott asks to have Deputy Attorney General Devin Oliver added to States United Democracy Center’s monthly conference calls as “He’s coordinating much of the multistate litigation here and I think it would be beneficial for him to hear the litigation summaries that your team provides.” Dwyer-McNulty responds that Oliver was added to the list.

“These records further expose a coordinated leftist lawfare machine—leftist state attorneys general working hand-in-glove with allied activist groups to target political opponents and undermine our election system,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

In November 2025, Judicial Watch received 5,789 pages of records from the Michigan Department of Attorney General in a Michigan Freedom of Information Act request that show the state’s coordination with States United Democracy Center. 

Judicial Watch continues to work to obtain records from Arizona, and Wisconsin, which appear to have been part of the same coordinated efforts led by States United Democracy Center.

In July 2025, Judicial Watch filed a Georgia Public Records lawsuit against Fani Willis in her capacity as district attorney for the Atlanta Circuit for communications and agreements with the States United Democracy Center and/or the Voter Protection Project regarding the investigation and prosecution of Republican state electors for the 2020 presidential election and/or anti-racketeering for conspiring to nullify the election.
