Bolts magazine: "November will see major showdowns for state supreme courts that decide major issues from #AbortionRights to #BallotAccess. Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington are just some of the states that stand out for clear ideological stakes":

It’s easy to wonder what the point of voting is when those in power restrict access to the ballot. Authoritarianism thrives when people lose faith in their ability to change things. So vote! Vote even when the system frustrates you, even when change feels painfully slow. Your vote still matters!

#MaineQuestion1 is a good reason to vote in an "off-year" election (you know, when the sneaky types try and pass shit!).

#Mainers like #AbsenteeVoting. Question 1 would make that option harder.

The November referendum has been framed around requiring #VoterID, but it also includes a host of changes to absentee voting.

Rachel Ohm, August 24, 2025

Excerpt: "#MaineVoters have come to increasingly rely on absentee or #MailInBallots — a practice that is routinely targeted by #Republicans politicians as rife with potential fraud, even though evidence doesn’t support that.

"During last year’s presidential election, almost half of all votes cast were absentee. The latest citizen-initiated proposal would make that more difficult.
If passed, it would prohibit voters from requesting absentee ballots by phone, and would require older Mainers and those with disabilities to renew their eligibility each year. The proposal also would limit the number of #DropBoxes municipalities are allowed to have and prohibit them from including prepaid return postage."

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

"The majority had no reason to nullify the insurrection clause other than an obvious desire to ensure that no other federal candidates are nixed from the ballot because of their participation in Jan. 6."

Slate:
The Supreme Court's unanimous Trump ballot ruling is actually a 5–4 disaster.

"The justices ruled that the 14th Amendment did not allow Colorado to bar the former president from the state’s primary ballot. The justices offered different reasons, but the decision was unanimous."

In a political landscape dominated by two major parties, the idea of voting for a third party candidate might seem futile to some. However, it’s crucial to understand why supporting alternative political voices can have a significant impact on our democracy.

1. Breaking the Duopoly

The dominance of two major parties can stifle diverse perspectives and limit the range of policy options. By voting for third party candidates, you contribute to breaking the duopoly, encouraging a more robust and inclusive political discourse.

 2. Holding Major Parties Accountable

A strong showing for third party candidates sends a message to the major parties that voters are dissatisfied with the status quo. It pressures them to address issues and concerns that may have been overlooked or marginalized.

3. Promoting Innovation and Fresh Ideas

Third parties often bring innovative solutions to the table, addressing issues that major parties may ignore. By supporting these candidates, you help promote new ideas and approaches to governance.

4. Building Momentum for Change

Every vote for a third party candidate helps build momentum for change. While individual elections may not always result in victory, they contribute to the long-term growth and viability of alternative parties.

5. Ballot Retention and Reduced Expenses

With enough votes, third party candidates can gain ballot retention, ensuring their presence in future elections with less administrative burden and expense. This allows them to focus more on critical matters and less on logistical challenges.

How You Can Help Third Parties

1. Spread Awareness: Share information about third party candidates and their platforms with your friends, family, and community.

2. Get Involved: Volunteer for third party campaigns, attend events, and engage with like-minded individuals to amplify your impact.

3. Support Electoral Reforms: Advocate for electoral reforms such as ranked-choice voting, which can level the playing field for third party candidates.

4. Consider Local Elections: Third parties often have greater success at the local level, so consider supporting their candidates in municipal, county, and state elections.

Conclusion

Voting for third party candidates is not just about this election cycle—it’s about shaping the future of our democracy. By breaking away from the traditional binary choice, we can foster a more inclusive and representative political system that better serves the needs of all citizens. Your vote for a third party candidate truly does count and can make a difference in shaping the direction of our country.

Hey, fellow Phrilyonaires! Today, I’m excited to share my endorsement for Jill Stein as President in 2024. Now, before you roll your eyes or dismiss this as just another political spiel, hear me out. Jill Stein isn’t just another politician; she’s a visionary leader with a bold plan to tackle climate change head-on and create a brighter, greener future for all of us.

Let’s dive into why I believe Jill Stein is the right choice for America:

1. Embracing Next-Generation Renewable Energy:

One of the most compelling aspects of Jill Stein’s platform is her commitment to renewable energy. But here’s the kicker: she’s not just talking about solar panels and wind turbines (although those are crucial too). Stein is advocating for lesser-known types of renewable energy that most people haven’t even heard of. From wave energy to geothermal power, she’s pushing for innovative solutions that have the potential to revolutionize our energy landscape.

But let’s address the elephant in the room: the myths and misconceptions surrounding renewable energy. You know the questions people ask: “What happens if there is no sunlight/wind blowing, water turning? Won’t they run out of energy?” The truth is, each source of energy keeps power in reserves. Advances in battery technology and smart grid systems ensure that we have a steady supply of clean energy, even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. By dispelling these myths, Stein is paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient future.

2. A Fair Carbon Tax That Holds Big Polluters Accountable:

Another key aspect of Jill Stein’s platform is her proposal for a carbon tax. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But won’t that hurt average Americans?” Here’s the truth: Stein’s carbon tax isn’t about punishing everyday citizens; it’s about holding big businesses accountable for their pollution. By imposing a tax on carbon emissions, she’s sending a clear message to corporations that they can no longer pollute our planet with impunity. And here’s the best part: the revenue generated from this tax can be reinvested into clean energy initiatives, creating a virtuous cycle of environmental stewardship and economic growth.

In conclusion, Jill Stein represents a beacon of hope in an increasingly uncertain world. Her Green New Deal offers a comprehensive roadmap for transitioning to a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future. By dispelling myths surrounding renewable energy and implementing a fair carbon tax, she’s proving that we can address climate change while also fostering economic growth and social justice.

So, join me in supporting Jill Stein for President 2024. Together, we can build a world where future generations can thrive in harmony with nature. Let’s make it happen! Leave a donation to her campaign to help her secure the ballot and be granted Public Matching Funds that will put her in the White House!

Until next time, stay green and stay inspired!

Warm regards,

Joseph D. Smith
