Callais Decision Rapid Response Call
Thu 30 APR 7pm CT
La. v Callais opens the door for states to gerrymander Black & Brown majority districts out of existence. We expect more GOP-led states to follow suit for 2027 + 2028 elections. Join the call, join the fight: https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/947503 #NoKings #Gerrymandering #Elections #Voters #Disenfranchisement #SCOTUS -
This entire SAVE con is a Poll Tax. Poll Taxes were abolished by the 24th amendment.
However, in order to be able to vote if the SAVE act passes, you will need to spend hundreds of dollars and possibly months of time.
The Republicans are working to instate an illegal election policy change, in the same year as an election, as close to the election as possible. The change targets voters who don’t vote for Trump. Yes it will be overturned eventually by the Supremes, but not in time for 2026 elections

এটাই একভাবে হিন্দুরাষ্ট্র তৈরির নীল ছকের ভিত্তি। একদিক থেকে এই বে-নাগরিকীকরণ প্রক্রিয়ার ভেতর দিয়ে তৈরি করা হচ্ছে এমন একটি জনগোষ্ঠী, যাদের জীবন অতিমাত্রায় অসুরক্ষিত। এবং, যেহেতু অসুরক্ষিত, তাই দুর্বল। আর কে না জানে, অধিকারবিহীন দুর্বল মানুষের পক্ষে প্রতিবাদ করা অতো সহজ নয়? আজ আদালতের চরিত্র নিরপেক্ষ নয়, বরং আগাপাশতলা রাজনৈতিক। একই কথা খাটে নির্বাচন কমিশন সম্পর্কে। কাজেই, এই প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলির হাত ধরে কোনো সুবিচার আসবে না।

Lede: From fringe ideas to now part of the provincial agenda
So, how's that centrist, incremental opposition comin' along? Oh, my ideas are "too radical" and my preferences are easily discarded? Okay then, business as usual. I'll just see myself out. #disenfranchisement

Claim by Senator Duckworth: “9% of American citizens don’t have the identification that the SAVE act requires to vote. Almost 1 in 10.”PolitiFact rating: Mostly True
A 2023 national survey found about 9% of U.S. adult citizens either lack or cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship, and a similar share lack a nonexpired driver’s license. However, the figure includes people who may have documents but cannot easily access them, and the survey was not limited specifically to registered voters.> Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act, which would require certain documents to register to vote and cast a ballot, point to a study showing 9% of adult U.S. citizens would have difficulty with those requirements.

@ProPublica In Czech Republic voters came with electronic IDs which were officially considered a valid ID for voting, and were IMO arbitrarily, wantonly and frivolously not allowed to vote, citing "overloaded system".
I can imagine a programming of the system like this:
if (voter.political_preference==opposition) {fprintf(stderr,"Error: sorry, system overloaded!\n"); exit -1; }
https://www.biometricupdate.com/202510/czech-parliamentary-elections-hit-by-digital-id-app-failure
https://www.smartsuite.in/czech-edoklady-crash-a-beginners-guide-to-digital-id-failures
Do you know what's the difference between Cambodian 3rd world developing country dictatorship and Czech Republic?
In Cambodia I got a dentist in 1 day, in Czechia I had to phone dentists for 2 months before I got one. In case of dermatologist even 4 months.
I feel

@ProPublica In Czech Republic voters came with electronic IDs which were officially considered a valid ID for voting, and were IMO arbitrarily, wantonly and frivolously not allowed to vote, citing "overloaded system".
I can imagine a programming of the system like this:

In Cambodia I got a dentist in 1 day, in Czechia I had to phone dentists for 2 months before I got one. In case of dermatologist even 4 months.

Americans who plan to vote: make sure the signature in your ID matches your signature in your ballot. I have been challenged on this after an overzealous DMV worker insisted several times i "really" sign their stupid line and i think my vote was not counted

The attacks on immigrants and protesters on Minnesota’s streets have been paired with high-level legal assaults
— like a dubious DOJ investigation of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.Alongside the more visible struggles, the DOJ has repeatedly attempted,
as reiterated in a letter by Attorney General Pam Bondi,
to force Minnesota
(and, in fact, all 49 other states)
to open confidential voter rolls to federal scrutiny.Bondi’s recent letter, outlining steps to
“bring back law and order,”
repeated a demand that the administration has already been pressing in the courts.So far, Minnesota and several other blue states have refused the request.
Constitutionally, the federal government takes no role in elections;
they are overseen solely by states.Why might the federal DOJ take such a sudden interest in obtaining state voter data?
It’s clear that Trump’s ultimate aim is to distort democracy,
tilting elections through #mass #disenfranchisement.One way to suppress the vote and cheat an election is
to purge opponents’ voters from the rolls.Such purges are calculated to target (by de facto outcomes, if not explicitly)
people of color and low-income voters
— i.e., those likely to vote against the right.Seizing state rolls will facilitate such purges to an extent previously unreached.
It is a bitterly ironic reversal that the department that was supposedly the vaunted federal guardian of democratic rights
has now been pitted against them.As many experts have attested,
the Trump DOJ’s nationwide legal assault poses a grave threat to the U.S.’s already-tattered electoral institutions.https://truthout.org/articles/trump-doj-sues-to-force-states-to-share-confidential-voter-data/

My wife took my last name when we got married, and with the new iteration of the SAFE act, she won't be able to vote, because she'll need to present her birth certificate, and her name differs.
This is intended to disenfranchise married women, trans folks, and anyone who can't easily lay hands on decades-old paperwork.
If you or anyone you know might be affected, they should start protecting their ability to vote now. Help them do it if they need help.

#WabanakiAlliance Urges Voters to Reject Question 1 on Nov. 4
"On #November4th, Maine voters will face a referendum question, #Question1, that seeks to fundamentally change Maine’s election laws and make it significantly harder for #Wabanaki citizens and all Maine voters to cast their vote — especially our #elders, people with #disabilities, working voters, #caretakers, and those without reliable transportation.
"The Wabanaki Alliance is a proud partner of the #SaveMaineAbsenteeVoting campaign and stands in strong opposition to this measure, which would create unnecessary barriers to voting and disproportionately harm our citizens. For the #WabanakiNations, the right to vote is sacred and the result of a hard-won battle by our ancestors. Voting rights weren’t extended to Wabanaki citizens in Maine until 1967, decades after federal voting rights for indigenous people were passed in 1924. Another deeply troubling aspect of this ballot measure is that it explicitly excludes #TribalIdentification from the list of acceptable forms of #VoterID. As federally recognized tribal nations, we value our #TribalSovereignty and self-determination. This exclusion seeks to invalidate and undermine the ability to identify our people and have that authorization respected. As the original stewards of these lands and waters now called Maine since time immemorial, we find it imperative to assert this right and have it honored.
"Question 1 is not a measure to secure our elections. It is a measure to suppress votes. The Wabanaki Alliance urges all Maine voters to vote NO on Question 1 this November to protect the right to vote for all Mainers.
How Will Question 1 Make It Harder to Vote?
Q1 will restrict your ability to request an absentee ballot by:
Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal IDs, university or college student IDs, employee IDs, Social Security cards, and birth certificates from the list of acceptable IDs required to request and return an absentee ballot or to vote in person on Election Day.
Eliminating the option to call your town clerk to request an absentee ballot, making it harder for those without reliable transportation or internet to request an absentee ballot.
Prohibiting town clerks from sending you an absentee ballot that you requested online until you provide proof of an approved photo ID, either in person or by mailing a photocopy of your photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number.
Eliminating ongoing absentee ballots for seniors and people with disabilities.
Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to pick up your absentee ballot on your behalf.Q1 will make it harder for you to return your absentee ballot by mail or drop box by:
Limiting towns to only offering a single ballot drop-box at the town hall. This would mean town clerks would be prohibited from providing absentee drop-boxes that are most convenient to where Wabanaki citizens live.
Prohibiting towns from including return postage on absentee ballots, even if taxpayers vote to fund it.
Requiring you to include a photocopy of an approved photo ID or your driver’s license number or non-driver ID number with your absentee ballot. Your vote will not be counted without that proof. The referendum also excludes Tribal IDs and other forms of valid ID from the list of acceptable IDs required to vote.
Eliminating the ability for a designated family member or friend to return your absentee ballot for you.Q1 will undermine the security of absentee voting by:
Second-guessing town clerks, requiring a two-person, bipartisan team to check ballot boxes, instead of the clerk or a trusted member of their staff. This restriction will place undue pressure on town clerks, and will lead many towns to simply get rid of their secure drop-boxes.
Q1 will make it harder to vote in person, either on Election Day or by absentee ballot, by:
Shortening the time period for early absentee voting by two days — eliminating the two most popular days for early absentee voting.
Creating a voter ID requirement for the first time AND excluding Tribal ID, university or college student ID, employee ID, Social Security card, or birth certificate from the list of acceptable IDs required to cast their ballot.
Key Dates✅ October 30: Last day to vote early in-person absentee and the last day to request an absentee ballot.*
✅ November 4: Election Day. Polls are open from 8 am to 8 pm. All absentee ballots must be returned to your town clerk by 8 pm."
