It’s election season…so please remember: “Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are people who want crops without ploughing the ground…The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” — Frederick Douglass
Organize, mobilize, turn-out to vote - as hard as they may make it. Energize and educate your friend groups & sympathetic co-workers. Join a phone tree, knock on doors; these are the things that matter. In the next weeks, there will be very little more important that GETTING OUT THE VOTE. You can ignore red voters, don’t waste your efforts. If we turn-out OUR voters, we win. There *will* be an undervote by Republicans, so turning out our people will make the difference. #USPol #USPolitics #Elections2026

What is it with #Republicans and pedophiles? #NEWS - A pastor kicked off a recent campaign stop for Michael Whatley, the Republican nominee for Senate, with a prayer that asked God to bestow “integrity and honesty” upon the event and to right wrongs “hammered down on the conservative movement.” The prayer was hardly unusual by North Carolina political standards. What was surprising was the man who delivered it. Pastor Daimon L. King is a registered sex offender, twice sentenced to prison for convictions involving children, according to state and court records.

#Whistleblower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying Court Orders on #VotingByMail
A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the U.S. Postal Service could imperil millions of mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.
Chris Cameron
By Chris Cameron
Reporting from Washington
Sept. 1, 2026Excerpt: "A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a 'secretive, rushed' effort to carry out President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.
"The official filed a whistle-blower report, published on Tuesday morning by the office of Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, asserting that the 'risky and haphazard' implementation of Mr. Trump’s order could lead to a 'catastrophic failure' in the mail ballot system ahead of this year’s #MidtermElections. The report said that the agency had planned to complete the new digital system overseeing mail ballots by Sept. 1.
" 'Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all,' the official said in the report, which was prepared with the assistance of #WhistleblowerAid, a nonprofit group that represents people seeking to expose potential lawbreaking.
Speaking to reporters by phone on Monday, Mr. Blumenthal said of the report that 'the main takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans. One-third of all Americans cast their ballots by mail, and the #USPS puts all of their votes at risk.'
"A Postal Service official declined to comment on the record."

Postal Service Rule Could Bar Millions From #VotingByMail
A judge temporarily blocked the agency from refusing to deliver ballots in #noncompliant states, which could disproportionately affect #Democrats and many battleground elections.
By Reid J. Epstein, Aug. 30, 2026
Excerpt: "Voting by mail would become much more difficult, if not impossible, for tens of millions of Americans if the #USPostalService is allowed to implement a restrictive rule governing mail voting that President Trump has demanded.
"The effects would likely be greater for #DemocraticVoters, who vote by mail in higher numbers than #Republicans, and in states where mail voting is universal or nearly so. #MailVoting may not happen at all in states that resist the #Trump administration’s demands for #VoterData .
"The rule would particularly affect people in #rural areas and #OlderVoters, who tend to cast ballots by mail in greater numbers. It could also deeply affect states where some of the most competitive races for House, Senate and governor will determine control of Congress and state governments.
" #Michigan, where 37 percent of votes were cast by mail in 2022, would be one epicenter, with hard-fought statewide contests and multiple battleground House races. #California, which mails ballots to all voters, is expected to be central to Democratic efforts to win a majority in the House.
"The rule is being challenged in several lawsuits, and it is on hold temporarily following a federal judge’s ruling on Thursday. The administration is appealing. Even if the Postal Service is permitted to proceed, it is unclear that it would have time to implement the plan ahead of an election that is fewer than 70 days away.
"For instance, the rule requires states to upload a list of voters to a federal mail ballot portal that is not yet online. Nearly two dozen Democratic-led states and #WashingtonDC , have sued to block the proposed rule and said they will not comply with it.
"If the agency were to move ahead, state and local officials would shoulder enormous costs in what would need to be a herculean effort to prepare election offices and educate voters in time for the midterm elections in November.
"The most dramatic aspect of the proposed rule is a plan to deny services for election mail entirely in states that do not turn over #VoterData, which federal officials say they want to use to identify noncitizens on state #VoterRolls. The policy would upend mail voting in any state that does not comply, but the effects would be measurably greater in the smaller number of states that rely heavily on mail voting.
"More than one in three Democrats voted by mail in 2024, compared with about one in four Republicans, according to estimates by the States United Democracy Center, which examined voting data in 32 states where it was available.
" 'It’s not that complicated,' said Marc Elias, the Democratic election lawyer, who said the new policy was a blatant effort to disenfranchise Democrats. 'The administration knows that Democrats are more likely to vote by mail than Republicans. Donald Trump has demonized voting by mail and made that differential even greater.' "

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.
by PATRICK WHITTLE and MATT BROWN,
August 26, 2026PORTLAND, 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."

#LawrenceBritt 's #CharacteristicsOfFascism number 14 - #FraudulentElections
"Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."
Supreme Court Allows Trump to Pursue Mail Voting Limits, for Now
The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.

Sec. of State #ShennaBellows: #DOJ demand for #Minnesota #voter data shows #ICERaids tied to #elections
Lauren McCauley
Mon, January 26, 2026 at 9:02 AM ESTExcerpt: "Bellows, a Democrat running for governor, has twice rejected requests to provide the DOJ with sensitive voter data, including driver’s license numbers, partial social security numbers and full dates of birth, along with names of officials who handle the list’s maintenance, the number of ineligible voters the state identified due to noncitizenship and voter registration applications from specific time periods, among other information.
"The DOJ has argued the data is necessary to assess states’ compliance with the statewide voter registration list maintenance provisions of the #NationalVoterRegistrationAct.
"Maine is now among the states being sued by the federal government over its failure to comply.
"In a motion to dismiss filed last month, the state argued that the lawsuit should be discharged because the DOJ failed to support a valid legal case as to why it is justified to such information, and that its data requests violate federal privacy law.
"The motion also noted voter registration databases contain information about people’s choice of political party and in which elections they chose to vote, which are activities protected by the #FirstAmendment. Bellows and other secretaries of state have also raised concern about the federal government using voter records for citizenship probes.
"In a statement Sunday, Bellows said, '#Maine will never turn over our voter rolls as a ransom payment to get ICE to end its #unconstitutional assault on our state.
" 'Our founders designed a system where states and local governments, not the federal government, oversee elections to safeguard us from exactly this — a #tyrannical, #PowerHungry president trampling on our #ConstitutionalRights,' she wrote."

#ShennaBellows says Trump's call for federal #elections takeover is blatantly #unconstitutional
#MainePublic | By Steve Mistler
Published February 3, 2026"Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said Tuesday that President Donald Trump's call for a federal takeover of elections is blatantly unconstitutional, but a threat that should be taken seriously given moves his administration has already made.
"Bellows, a Democrat who is also running for governor, says the president's comments on a right-wing podcast about commandeering elections in 15 unnamed states fit a troubling pattern. That includes an effort by the Department of Justice to obtain states' private voter data, which Bellows' office is fighting alongside Oregon in federal court.
"Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon also pushed back after receiving a letter from Attorney General Pam Bondi suggesting the immigration surge there would end if officials complied with the DOJ, a request he described as 'apparent ransom.'
"Bellows said those moves, along with the FBI's recent raid of election offices in #FultonCounty #Georgia, suggest Trump is trying to preempt voter backlash to his policies in coming #elections.
" 'The president fears big losses in the 2026 and 2028 and is trying to set the stage for federal interference in our elections,' she said.
"Under the #Constitution, states govern American elections. But Trump has frequently made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats exploit the decentralized system to rig outcomes."

#DemocracyNow - “No Means No”: #AZ Secretary of State Calls for #Resistance as #Trump Pushes to “#Nationalize” #Voting
February 04, 2026
"As President Trump suggests the federal government should 'nationalize' and take over the elections process from the states, we speak with #Arizona Secretary of State #AdrianFontes. He is the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, and oversaw elections there in 2020. The #JusticeDepartment has sued Arizona and over 20 other states [includng #Maine] for their full #VoterRegistration lists. 'No means no,' Fontes says in response to the Trump administration’s encroachment on state authority. 'We should not be handing over any of our personal identifying information to the president. Not only should we not be doing it, but it’s against the law for me to fulfill the request from the Department of Justice.' "
