  1. A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

    Let us not be afraid to help each other — let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and Senators and Congressmen and Government officials but the voters of this country.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
    Speech (1938-07-08), Northwest Territory Sesquicentennial, Muskingum Park, Marietta, Ohio

  2. #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."

    Of course #TFG is planning his so-called #ElectionIntegrity #coup.

    THIS IS HIS STRATEGY. Not knocking on doors. Not persuading #voters. STEALING THE #PRESIDENCY.

    And this is not just about bogus #legal challenges.

    If you live in #AZ, #GA, #NV, #WI, #PA, #MI, #ME, #OH, #VA or #IA, expect VIOLENCE if your state does #voteblue.

    #ElectionOfficials will be harassed & attacked

    SPREAD THE WORD.

    #BOOST THIS NOW.

    PROTECT THEM ON #ELECTION DAY

    #VOTE #DEMOCRACY

  4. The purge in Waterford went unnoticed by state #ElectionOfficials until The NYT discovered it. The #Michigan secretary of state’s office has since told the clerk to reinstate the #voters, saying the removals did not follow the process laid out in #state & #federal #law, & issued a warning to the state’s 1,600 clerks.
