  1. If you are a U.S. citizen who is racialised as 'white' and you think that the #racist stomping on the #VotingRightsActof1965 will only affect ppl racialised as 'black' , you're wrong.

    The enforcement mechanism which ensures ALL #voters are heard, has been dismantled: 1. Fewer polling places in 'white' rural counties.
    2. ID laws (most Americans incl 'white' ones) don't have passports
    3. #EarlyVoting eliminated
    4. #VoterSuppression of uni students and married women

    Can someone use #AI or #OCR to get the actual numbers into #alttext ?

    As a #blind #voter who encountered issues at the polls this #election cycle, this information would have helped me greatly. I went to #vote on the first day of #EarlyVoting

    Our county uses #verity voting equipment. This includes an #ATI - #AudioTactileInterface. A #voter can listen to the ballot in any of the four supported languages and use a dial and button to make their selections.

    Because of past experience with intrusive #ElectionWorkers, the first thing I do is turn off the screen. It didn't help this time.

    My particular #ballot style had 72 items. I don't remember the number of the item I was on, (First Court of Appeals, Place 9) when one election worker told another that I would need help. I said aloud that I did not need help, and that, if I did, I could ask for help at that time. Someone said that the machine might "time out" (which is not true - this is a misunderstanding - when a voter is qualified, they get a code to enter into the machine. That code expires after 30 minutes. I'd already entered it). At that point, I very carefully completed my ballot, then took the time to ensure my selections for all ballot items were as I intended. It took me about an hour overall.

    I tried to file an #ADA #complaint. I asked the election workers for the complaint form. They did not provide it, and did not believe they had such a thing (they are supposed to, I've served as an #ElectionJudge - there is a stack of them in the same folder as the required ADA information that is to be posted).

    They gave me a phone number to call, and the person taking my report understood me to say the equipment had timed out, so the fix was to replace it.

    The ADA complaint form is also on the website, where I did complete it. I wish I'd had a voter protection number to call.

  12. I have a fear that Islamaphobia and name recognition is propelling older voters to vote for Andrew Cuomo. I hope this is not the case.

    Record early voting numbers in NYC show a shift in who is turning out to vote:

  13. CW: USPol, MIPol, Voting

    @ahimsa_pdx @66gardeners @GottaLaff

    Michigan too, now. This is out of date. We changed things back in 2022.

    Edit - Sorry, it was in 2020 that it all changed.

    I started feeling like I was crazy and misremembering because that site said it was updated through 2024. But nope, since 2020, every Michigander gets an absentee ballot application automatically and registration is no longer per cycle but permanent with no-reason absentee voting.

    Edit 2 - As a result, we have estimates for mail-in voting this year at over 1.5 million and this is just our first presidential cycle since it has really been rolled out.

    I knew he said this, but most searches only on the recent statements he has made.

    :"In April 2024, Trump posted on Truth Social:

    “ABSENTEE VOTING, EARLY VOTING, AND ELECTION DAY VOTING ARE ALL GOOD OPTIONS. REPUBLICANS MUST MAKE A PLAN, REGISTER, AND VOTE!”

    This was widely covered because it contradicted years of him attacking mail‑in voting."

  16. More from Jasmine Crockett from her appearance this evening in Richardson, Texas. She can win this. And she will. If you say you want a fighter Texas, VOTE FOR HER.

    And no, you can’t have both of them. Only one can win in this primary. Choose one, Texas. MAKE IT CROCKETT. Early voting is on now.

    #vote #votecrockett #crockett #jasminecrockett #texas #earlyvoting

  17. TEXAS has to be honest with itself and ask itself this question:

    DO YOU WANT THE FIGHTER, OR DO YOU WANT THE WHITER?

    Vote Crockett.

    #crockett #jasminecrockett #vote #texas #earlyvoting

  18. I’m in a public library today. (I’m a reserve #electionofficer so I get random assignments each time. I never work the same precinct twice, it seems).

    What makes this location unusual is that it is an #earlyvoting location before #electionday. If you vote early, you come in, tell them your name and address, and they figure out what district you’re in. Then they print the right ballot for you right there. Anyone from any precinct in Fairfax County can vote at any early voting site. This means that for the last 3 weeks or so, people have been coming to this #library and #voting early.

    But if you #vote ON election day, you may only vote in the precinct where you are assigned. (Where you live) So we will get voters today who come in and say “But my wife/son/neighbour voted here just last Thursday!” And that’s absolutely true. And today we have to look them up and say “we are sorry, but you must vote at XYZ.”

    So we turn away a LOT of voters here on election day because they expect to vote here when they don’t live here. I’m told by the regulars that it can be as high as 30% of people who walk up.

  19. Where I was today is also an #EarlyVoting location, so this is your reminder, #NYC, get out there and VOTE!! It really counts 🙌💯✨

  20. Trump Tells GOP Lawmakers to “Get Smart” and Eliminate Early Mail-In Voting

    #EarlyVoting begins in #NewYork this Saturday, 25th and runs through Nov 2nd. It includes Sundays as well

    It's not too late to register to vote either. Registration ends on the 24th. Go online and make a search.

    For those in other States figure out what's needed and get active. Voting is the least you can do.

    To do more, talk with friends and coworkers about what troubles you. Discuss issues. Make it personal. Being silent only leads to disinformation.

  24. #EarlyVoting #GetOutTheVote #MunicipalElections

    Working for early voting today in my little town. VERY low key, but leadership positions like Selectmen and library board.

    As usual, the Republicans will probably prevail and it's so little there's no "meet the candidates" for anyone to challenge them on their allegiance to a party that has been complicit in this disaster nationally.
    I'm struggling to NOT wear my Resist apparel.

  25. Early voting appears to be working just fine in New Mexico.

    This morning, around 8AM I dropped my mail-in ballot envelope in the drop box outside the Otero county clerk's office.

    The 6PM early/absentee voting *report shows that the ballot was received/accepted/processed.

    (*See universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/11 )

    OK, this is just one data point, but I wanted to share it.

  26. #USA: 🚨🚨 The Trump admin does not want YOU to VOTE.

    The #fascist Orangutan Admin is coming up with anything to keep YOU from voting #MAGA out !

    They #farright claim they need an original #birthcertifixate, they're trying to ban #VotingByMail, tou can only use an orig b-certificate or a passport for ID, they want to make sure the #postalservice is slow so that ballots aren't sent in in time. There's an obsession with signature-matching because it's a tool to eliminate ballots . They're trying to eliminate #EarlyVoting, etc

    They're also trying to put #ICE at the polls, #voterintimidation, inceeasing the burden of #voting, etc

    #DemocracyDocket #Elections

    Please #FIGHTBACK !!! STOP THEM!!

    Your country affects your citizens but it also affecrs the rest of us! 🌍

  27. Thanks to national Democratic Party attorney Marc Elias’ group Democracy Forward, thousands of votes have been saved.

    Make sure you vote if you haven't yet, Georgians. And elect the Democrats, Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. You can still vote early this week.

  28. You gotta be kidding me... After years of insane ranting about #voteByMail, and every other #voterAccess law and program, #Trump is now demanding #earlyVoting, expanded voter access, and waiving residency requirements for #pollWorkers. Just take a step back and imagine Trump's reaction if #KamalaHarris was asking for these exact same provisions. The #hypocrisy is absolutely stunning.

  29. just finished reading an article by @marcelias on @democracydocket re: enabling more access to voting and the dangers of not doing so: "...voter suppression must be judged by the effect on the voters, not the subjective intent of government officials..."
