  1. #Resister to #Vote. Check your #Voter #Reregistration regularly. #VoteEarly #InPerson you can. If you #VoteByMail ballot drop it in a dropbox at your central district location. If you have to mail your ballot, mail it two full weeks before #ElectionDay. #BeSafe and #Vote!

  2. Beginning to look like to have a fair election in the #USA we need a #GeneralStrike on #ElectionDay.

  4. Federal agents at the polls? Voter intimidation is a federal crime, whoever is doing it. Here's what the law actually says, and the exact steps to take if ICE or any federal agent tries to interfere with your vote this November.

  5. Twice yearly request to Massachusetts to send "I voted" stickers with absentee ballots. I had to duck into my polling place to get them.

    (Also, polling places should accept absentees. And there should be at least six times the number of ballot drop off points.)

    ((Basically copy everything LA did))

  6. Republican nominee for #Maine governor says he wants #ICEAgents at #Polling places in the state

    The Maine Democratic Party criticized the idea as likely illegal and an attempt to intimidate voters.

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — "Maine’s Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall’s midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

    "During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask #TomHoman, the White House #BorderCzar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before #ElectionDay. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

    " 'Here’s my secret,; Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. 'I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Tom’s an awesome guy.'

    " 'I’m going to ask Tom, I’m going to actually — three or four weeks before the election, maybe three — I’m going to make an appeal for ICE and #USMarshals to be at our voting booths,' Charles said, according to the audio."

  7. Tomorrow is primary #ElectionDay where I live, so I want to take this opportunity to sound like a broken record and remind you all of this important #PSA from a beleagered #PollWorker:

    Please, I am begging you, do not cast joke write-in votes¹.

    #vote #voting
    1/5

  8. 6% of #Texas #voters >1.2M people have had their voter registrations suspended, many might not even know. Why - voter’s county doesn’t know their address or thinks they’ve moved. Doesn’t stop people from voting in Nov #midterm #elections, but makes it much more difficult. If voter shows up on #ElectionDay & registration is suspended they must fill out “statement of residence” form, if they’ve moved to new county they’ll either be reqd 2 vote in their old 1 or use provisional #ballot #elections

  9. Today's the day.

    If you're voting in Connecticut, Minnesota, or Wisconsin, support leaders who will fight for accountability and defend our democracy.

    Change happens when voters have courage, too.

  11. If you’re new to following me, you haven’t seen one of my election day threads. I’m an election officer in Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. Tomorrow is an #electionday in this county (and probably other Virginia counties), so I will do a live thread throughout the day. I’ll hashtag it #electionofficer so you can tune in or tune out as it suits you.

    I try to talk about what’s happening, how we handle it, what the rules are, etc. Ordinarily, tomorrow would be a sleepy election. A single party primary. But there’s been talk of the US department of justice sending “observers” to polling places. It’s no big deal, but that would be a very non-sleepy thing to happen.

    My job runs 5am to 9pm, so it’ll be a long thread over the course of the day. Now to try and get 5 hours of Zzzzzz

  12. Who’s funding #BrentTaylor, #Republican candidate for #Tennessee district 9? Some of the worst big business interests.

    #1 donor: #SpaceX / #xAI / #ElonMusk

    #2 donor: CEO of #CoreCivic (#PrivatePrisons operator)

    Who do you think Brent will represent if he’s elected? Not the regular citizens of #Memphis!

    Vote for Justin J. Pearson! #EarlyVoting ends Saturday August 1st. #ElectionDay is Thursday August 6th (yes Thursday and not Tuesday!)

  13. Opinion | Study confirms what many suspected: the 2024 election was rigged

    Written by Thom Hartmann, July 10, 2026

    "It sure looks like #TechBillionaires and foreign #dictatorships gave us Trump in 2024. This is as bad as the massive #RussianBot presence on #Facebook and #Twitter back in 2016, which Robert Mueller documented gave Trump the presidency that time.

    "A peer-reviewed study released Thursday in Nature, the world’s most prestigious scientific journal, has finally put hard numbers to what a lot of us suspected the moment the 2024 election was called for Trump (and Republicans in Congress) by the big networks: the algorithms that control our largest #SocialMedia platforms intentionally and explicitly tilted the playing field, and they tilted it for Donald #Trump and the #GOP.

    "Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi created hundreds of 'sock puppet' #TikTok accounts in New York, Texas, and Georgia (via VPN), uploaded to them either pro-Democratic or pro-Republican videos to show their political leanings, and then watched what TikTok’s algorithm fed back to them every day over the 27 weeks leading up to #ElectionDay.

    "Across more than 280,000 recommendations, Republican-seeded accounts received about 11.5 percent more 'party-aligned content' than their Democratic counterparts, while the pro-Democratic accounts were force-fed 7.5 percent more attacks from the other side. As Professor Talal Rahwan put it:
    'The algorithm wasn’t just giving people what they want; it was giving one side more of what the other side says about them.'

    "The pro-#rightwing bias was even more dramatic when researchers looked at how the candidates’ own accounts did. Candidate Trump’s official TikTok videos were pushed to Democratic-leaning users 27 percent of the time, while #KamalaHarris’s videos only reached Republican-leaning users just 15.3 percent of the time.

    "Translation: Leading up to the 2024 election, TikTok was working overtime to expose Democrats and lefties to MAGA’s most persuasive messaging, all while shielding rightwingers, independents, and Republican voters from Harris’s voice."

  14. #Boulder Daily Camera, October 27, 1897: a list of political parties competing on the November ballot.

    Note the iconography used for the political parties, and the number of different parties represented on the ballot: ten.

    The Democratic party symbol is a strutting rooster (!) and the Republican symbol is an eagle clutching olive branches but standing on top of a shield laying on the ground. Truly bizarre.

  15. "Republican voters have rallied behind candidates who closely align themselves with Trump and the MAGA brand":
    politico.com/news/2026/06/28/g
    On #ElectionDay, defeat MAGA extremists due to an unpopular, unnecessary war that Trump lost, new wars that Trump threatens (in Cuba and in Greenland), and high prices due to the war and tariffs.

  16. RE: wikis.world/@legoktm/114741527

    One year ago today. Zohran's primary win was so dramatic and unexpected that he didn't even have a victory speech prepared. (And I suspect most people on Fedi didn't yet know who he was!)

    Today the socialist & left bloc in NYC is challenging at least 5 U.S. House seats, 2 state senate seats, 9+ state assembly seats to prove this wasn't a one-time thing.

    Voting is open until 9pm; resources and recommendations in 🧵 below.

  17. Tomorrow is #ElectionDay in #Maryland.
    Early voting sites and Election Day polling places are not always the same.

    If you're voting in person tomorrow, make sure you know your assigned polling location before heading out using this tool: voterservices.elections.maryla

    If you are voting by mail, your ballot must be postmarked by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
