  6. _Voter suppression_

    “The process of being denied their right to vote was such a negative experience that they would not reengage with the voting process at future elections. Many reported being extremely upset, embarrassed, humiliated or angry when they couldn’t vote, to a much greater degree than one might expect, given most people view voting as a relatively mundane activity.”

    The academics recommend introducing “attestation” or “vouching”, where voters with permitted ID can attest to another voter’s identity at the polling station, allowing them to still cast a ballot when an official declaration is signed in the polling station.

  11. At GOP #convention yesterday, POTUS #bribes potential #voters with a $5K handout. Not that he keeps promises. It increases nat’l #debt by $1 trillion.

  12. This crystallized something for me. We all know that low-info voters could swing most any election if they woke up. But:

    Many of us "[D]on’t understand how most people actually learn about politics … [they] avoid politics entirely. The only way they absorb it is ambiently, through a health influencer, a podcast, or the sports they watch. That is exactly where Musk is spending money now, & Democrats have nothing running to counter it …"

  17. @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.

  18. theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/a. "YouGov’s survey of 1,800 people in #England & #Wales found that people thought 55% of convicted #killers were from an #ethnic #minority, when the real percentage is 35%. They also thought just 45% of #homicides were committed by #white people, when the real figure is 64%. #Reform #voters were furthest from the #truth, believing 70% of #killers were from ethnic minorities - 10% more than voters of any other party." So, #Racism isn't a problem? Like Hell it isn't!

  19. "I think this will help a lot with elections" —

    #TrumpAdmin asks Supreme Court to allow new limits on mail ballots:

    As ~"part of a high-stakes push by... #Trump & his allies to put fresh limits on voting ahead of pivotal #elections where control of the House and the Senate is at stake" ~

    ~"A divided (appeals court) panel... upheld a federal judge's block on the order, finding that it would 'sow confusion' and 'threaten disenfranchisement of many eligible #voters.'"

  20. Get away from my Crypto!!

    62% of survey respondents do NOT trust the Trump administration to oversee the crypto industry, according to CoinDesk. The poll also has 73% of the public opposing senior government officials having personal business dealings in the industry. The poll surveyed equal numbers of Democratic and Republican voters. coindesk.com/policy/2026/05/03 #Crypto #CryptoRegulation #CoinDesk #Voters #Governance

  21. The Conversation: Older Americans who vote live longer than those who don’t – new research. “Using objectively verified voting records from Catalist, which tracks Americans’ voting behavior, along with official National Death Index records, we found that voters were 45% less likely to die within five years after the 2008 election, 37% less likely to die 10 years after the election, and […]

  22. The "mood of the #nation," in 1972, was so overwhelmingly #vengeful, #greedy, #bigoted, and blindly #reactionary that no presidential candidate who even faintly reminded "typical #voters" of the #fear & #anxiety they'd felt during the constant "social upheavals" of the 1960s had any chance at all of beating #Nixon last year--not even #TedKennedy...

  24. Friends, if you live in #Columbus and love #democracy, come #canvass with me to encourage #voters to #VoteNoInAugust. mobilize.us/swingleft/event/56

    I will lead a thorough training so it’s fine if you‘ve never knocked doors before. I’m even happy to go out with you to make sure you feel comfortable. These will be the friendliest conversations you can imagine. The principal of “one person, one vote” resonates! It’s mostly about making sure people even know we’re having an election.
