#voters — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #voters, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Every form of #democracy eventually fails because #voters don’t want to put effort into paying attention to where things are going, and taking action before it’s too late.

    “It can’t be as bad as all that.”
    “Meh, all politicians are corrupt.”
    “My vote doesn’t count for much.”
    “It’s too hard to learn about the issues.”
    “My news tells me everything is fine.”
    “Enough other people vote to fix the problems.”
    “I was busy that day.”
    “Was there an election? I didn’t notice.”

    Pay attention, and vote.

  2. @memeorandum The #NYPost is a #RightWing rag. They must be afraid of #Talarico by now. What the NYPost fails to grasp is that a LOT of #voters have #woken up to the fact that Toxic Capitalism, wielded by Billionaire & Trillionaire TechBros really IS the problem, & are likely to vote for someone with the nutsack to say so out loud. Not the flex ya thought NYPost.

  3. theguardian.com/commentisfree/. "On 6 September, #voters in the small eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt are expected to give [the] #AfD a resounding victory. If the arithmetic falls in a certain way, a #German far-right Party could assume power for the first time since the #Nazis. It is possible the AfD could just fall short. That would depend on whether enough centrist Parties make it over the 5% hurdle to enter the #legislature."

  4. No national emergency, no seized ballots, no troops at the polls. But the maps are redrawn, the federal election watchdog is gutted, mail-in voting throttled, and "the creation of a climate of fear is a goal in and of itself." The doomsday isn't the seizure of the vote. It's the seizure of the will to vote—so November never comes.

  6. Hoover Institution: Hoover Institution Launches California Decides. “The Hoover Institution today announced the launch of California Decides, a new civic education initiative designed to give Californians clear, accessible, and evidence-based information about how their state works, the policy challenges it faces, and the choices voters will make at the ballot box.

  7. 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

  8. Denver Post: Info for confidential voters was made public in Colorado secretary of state web update, office confirms. “The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office made information for more than 130,000 confidential voters publicly accessible for over a week because of an error in updating a voter registration tool, agency officials said Thursday.

  9. @mikegalsworthy That would require that #Britain restores #free #movement of labour, which is opposed by the #LabourParty, the #Tories & #ReformUK. It's vital for our #economy, but far too many of our #politicians think the #majority of the #voters won't accept it. They're wrong!

  10. StateScoop: Pennsylvania launches voter data dashboard. “Pennsylvania election officials on Monday launched a new data dashboard designed to make the state’s voter registration data easier for the public to access and track ahead of the November election.”

  11. foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/21/i. "The immediate #blame for the #debacle in #Iran attaches to #Trump & his #incompetent #advisors [but] the ultimate blame must lie... with the #voters. It was the choice... of #American voters to return Trump, a man manifestly incompetent... incapable of absorbing unwelcome or contrary #information... to the #WhiteHouse."

  12. Mamdani’s multilingual, meme-friendly style wins over young voters

    Zohran Mamdani has built a notably different kind of political connection with New York’s diverse communities. His approach centers on delivering campaign outreach in multiple languages, including Mandarin, Bengali and Spanish. Rather than relying solely on En…

  13. #Trump and #Republicans won by pretending to be #populists. Then they betrayed their #voters by being #elitists instead. #DemocraticSocialists actually are populists, and can appeal to the #MAGA base if they do it right.

  14. When Democracy Needs a Qualification

    What happens when we decide that democracy needs an eligibility test? Advocate Shethem examines the seemingly sensible idea of restricting political leadership to the educated and qualified—and asks a few inconvenient questions about what “qualified” really means.

  15. #VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

    The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

    By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

    "Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

    "The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

    " 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
    Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
    While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

  17. #Colorado #Action #Alert
    Senator John Hickenlooper has indicated his support for the voter suppression SAVE Act. It is imperative that #Voters #Call his offices and let him know that this is wildly unpopular.

  18. #SAVEAct Could Stop Millions of #Women From Voting. Here’s What You Need to
    Know
    Bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to #vote. It would have a direct impact on anyone whose #legalname does not match their #birthcertificate or #passport, such as 79% of heterosexual married women.
    Data show that SAVE Act would only #disenfranchise eligible American #voters, and do nothing to prevent illegal voting.
