  5. Dear #America,

    You are living in fantasy land if you think the #TrumpRegime will allow future #federalelections.

    Get used to the fact that you are now living in an #authoritarian #dictatorship.

    Good luck #USPol #auspol

  6. #Maine: As Maine eyes voter ID law, Trump order tightens federal registration rules

    by Caroline LeCour, March 27, 2025

    "As Maine voters eye a statewide voter ID proposal, a new #ExecutiveOrder from President Donald #Trump is adding another layer to the conversation around election integrity and access.

    "The order signed Wednesday would require proof of #USCitizenship to register for #FederalElections and mandate that all ballots be received by Election Day—a change from the current system in many states that allows ballots postmarked by Election Day to count if received later.

    "Though separate from Maine's voter ID proposal—which addresses identification at the polls rather than registration—some in the state see a common goal.

    "'This is a policy, different policies to strengthen our elections, to increase confidence of voters to participate in our democratic process,' #AlexTitcomb, of the grassroots organization The Dinner Table, [a #Conservative #PAC] said. The group spared Maine's voter ID proposal, which was certified by the Maine Secretary of State earlier this year.

    "Critics argue that requiring documents many voters may not readily have—especially those whose names may not match across forms of ID—could discourage legitimate voters from participating.

    "'A lot of married women have changed their names, some of their documents don't match up,' Jen Lancaster, with the League of Women Voters of Maine, said. 'Maybe they don't have the perfect document, and they get turned away. That's what #VoterSuppression is. It's eligible voters being denied their right to vote.'

    "Lancaster says the executive order is likely to face legal challenges, echoing concerns from national #VotingRights organizations."

    “…a clear and present danger to the integrity of our #electionsystem…is the threat of noncitizens and #illegalaliens voting…”

    …he conceded he had no evidence to support that assertion.

    “We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in #federalelections, but it’s not been something that is easily provable,” Johnson said. “We don’t have that number.”

    In fact…the number of #noncitizens suspected to have voted in #election2016 was ~30.

  20. How does this dude not get punched in the face every time he steps out of his house? He's claiming that "lots" of #undocumentedImmigrants are #voting in #federalElections, despite the fact that it's already illegal for them to vote. And his evidence for this massive #fraud is that there's no evidence. If you or I said something like this at work we'd be fired for incompetence.

  25. More dumb bullshit from #Trump. The only people who can vote in #federalElections are American citizens. This entire line about undocumented immigrants coming into the country in droves to vote is just pure fantasy. But that's all Trump has; lies and fantasy. We cannot allow this POS back in the #WhiteHouse. We gotta vote like our lives depend on it, because they do.

  27. Among the many questions regarding the Mississauga-Lakeshore by-election is how many of the 33 independent candidates receive fewer than double digits in their vote count? Will any receive zero votes? Would that be a Canadian Federal election record? And will the eternal independent candidate John the engineer Turmell finally finish near the top of the list?
    These are among the searching questions that fail to keep me up at night
