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...

#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 voteBy 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."Read more:

Appealing to "The Middle" No Longer Works in U.S. Elections
The #2024election showed us that trying to win over the elusive "middle" isn’t the way to victory anymore. When #Harris pivoted to target #moderate #voters, focusing on broad #MiddleClass issues, it left her base feeling unmotivated.
The "middle class" is too diverse for a one-size-fits-all approach, and only 45% of people identify in that bucket; economic needs vary by #race and region, so generic centrist rhetoric doesn’t resonate. Meanwhile, a shrinking pool of true #SwingVoters means the key to victory is energizing the base.
While #Trump rallied his base around clear priorities, Harris’s appeal to centrists didn’t hit the mark and likely led to lower enthusiasm and turnout among her supporters. In an era where most voters are deeply committed to their beliefs, an overly broad approach can make a campaign seem out of touch and uninspiring.

Her #campaign moved swiftly to #highlight that even as a #speaker at Trump’s rally in #NewYork made #offensive #remarks about #PuertoRico and #Latinos, she was visiting #PuertoRican #voters in #Philadelphia.

[an excellent description of gerrymandering of political districts in the USA]
“Why does the USA draw district maps with absolutely bonkers shapes? And how do squiggly districts help the wrong politicians win elections? And have we been pronouncing "Gerrymandering" wrong for 200 years?...”

Today in this political system we make decisions in favor of the majority. My questions to all creators and supporters of the system: What about the minority and why should they be abused?

"Our research shows #voters have little patience for leaders who brush off #ClimateChange or oppose #CleanEnergy — for example, 63 percent of voters have an unfavorable view of lawmakers who deny that climate change is a threat. Among #SwingVoters, these lawmakers’ favorability is underwater by a whopping 50 points. This tells us that voters are connecting their frustrations around climate to their political decisions."
