vote

Americans are learning

Slowly

#JonOssoff is correct: they can't do anything

Too many Americans go "this is wrong, but #Democrats aren't doing anything, so I'm not voting"

Missing that:

1. they can't do anything without the majority

2. you're blaming the wrong people

3. if you #vote you get the ability to do something

Duh!

#Primaries2026:

Show the fuck up to get the candidates you want

"I won't vote until perfect candidate magically appears" is utterly moronic

It never works that way!

DHS used to only have information on immigrants who’d had contact with the agency.

Under a new data-sharing agreement, the system added information — including full Social Security numbers — on millions of Americans not in DHS databases.

Democrats Won a North Carolina Supreme Court Seat. But They Lost Control Over the Board That Sets Election Rules.
—

Republican Jefferson Griffin conceded after a monthslong legal battle. But Democrats suffered a defeat that may be more consequential: losing control of the state board that sets voting rules and adjudicates election disputes.

State Supreme Court Candidate Wants Military Absentee Votes Tossed. Years Earlier, That’s How He Voted.
—

Republican Jefferson Griffin is trying to overturn his election loss by asking the North Carolina Supreme Court to toss 5,500 military and overseas absentee ballots. He used the same method to vote in 2019 and 2020.

Seven years after North Dakotans voted to amend the constitution and create an ethics commission, state officials are claiming the agency cannot actually impose penalties for ethics violations.

A Tarrant County resident who has worked as an election judge criticized the county’s move to cut more than 100 polling sites.

“You’re not saving money,” she said. “You’re sacrificing democracy to save a buck.”

"'Survivors need protection, resources and legal support. If this Congress is serious about justice, then let this moment also affirm your commitment to provide victims with the legal aid they need,' De Georgiou said at a press conference organized by Republican Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democrat Ro Khanna of California, who are trying to force a vote on that bill."

I voted no on question 1 in the referendum election in Maine. Today is the last day to vote.

This is the text of the question:

Do you want to change Maine election laws to eliminate two days of absentee voting, prohibit requests for absentee ballots by phone or family members, end ongoing absentee voter status for seniors and people with disabilities, ban prepaid postage on absentee ballot return envelopes, limit the number of drop boxes, require voters to show certain photo ID before voting, and make other changes to our elections?

A yes vote is voter suppression: people with disabilities, older folks, folks in rural areas, folks without IDs for whatever reason, folks who are out of state, students, and many other demographics would find it harder to vote if this passes and is enacted.

Ban prepaid postage? Besides suppressing voting, this question is straight-up cruel. Frankly, I think that particular clause is a tell that this is a bad faith measure.
