Not without a court fight first. Same goes for FL and don’t count Trump out of just insta claiming riggage if Dems win the house especially if the margin is small

This is 100% guaranteed to happen.

I can't wait until some late votes are "found" for Kemp in some random place

Perfectly normal practice, nothing to see here

Can someone get the UN on the phone and send some actual election monitors?

Yea they are trying to suppress the vote pretty hard

Remember that the next time Mags and Friends write a “Sessions is saving us all” fluff piece.

If this **** works, we’re never having anything close to a real election ever again.

Thread on the history of fighting for voting rights, and people getting openly murdered for doing so in current olds' lifetimes

I'm suspect of any tweet that attempts to demotivate people from voting. Twitter already banned a ton of bot accounts for doing exactly that.

I think one lesson from 2016 is that it's a lot easier to demotivate someone with social media than it is to motivate them. Which makes sense. When you know someone is selling you something, your spidey sense usually kicks in at least a little. But not always when someone is trashing something. See Instagram beauty influencers asking $75k to trash a product.

Cambridge Analytica was really proud of their demotivational FB ads targeting minorities to not vote for Clinton. We know they aren't voting for Trump - so the push was basically to get them to stay home.

Also reverse cargo cult - both sides are equally FOS mannnnn - is a super seductive message that humans seem to have very little natural resistance for.

I like how one of the polling places in GA that had problems is going to stay open for an extra 25 minutes.


OOOOH THANKS! 25 MINUTES!

A thread on Texas gerrymandering, with crackin' and packin'. It does point out that the best time to overcome gerrymandering is at the end of the 10 years before the redrawing when the maps least represent the demographics. After that, the GOP will redraw the maps to give them maximum benefit for another 10 years

How much do the demographics of gerrymandered districts even change in 8 years? Are there numbers available? Let's say a district was rigged to be R+10, how big of an advantage is left 8 years laters?

Are there any rough estimates of the total number of voters who were either removed from voter rolls (GA), were blocked by absurd new laws (ND), had super sketchy election day issues (dead machine batteries, no power cord, etc)? Basically I'm curious what the estimated number of voters directly affected by Republican war on voting efforts is.

it certainly won for the repubs in florida and georgia. maybe ohio, but cordray lost by a lot and voters were reinstated at the last minute.

Man, Brian Kemp should be in prison.

Kemp had hundreds of voting machines sitting in warehouses in Atlanta...

Federal judges toss Maryland congressional maps for being politically gerrymandered

If Dems drawing wacky maps gets these shenanigans tossed nationwide on constitutional grounds, I am 100% in

Yes. We won't see any real progress against gerrymandering unless blue states go HAM and send lopsided dem delegations and start looking like a permanent majority in the House.

Republican Senator of Mississippi

A voter registration card is a valid for of ID for purposes of verifying if a new hire is eligible to work in this country.



Guess what's it's NOT considered valid ID for (at least in FL)? VOTING

It's genuinely absurd that a. one has to register to vote b. that one can vote without showing any idea c. that a US citizen does not have a constitutional right to vote.

Don’t boo, fight against voting.

Texas and apparently other states straight-up switching votes to GOP - https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/sta...31800083640320

Even if the switch wasn't intentionally coded, people in charge knowing about it and doing nothing sure was.

The switch is likely a bug, because if it were intentional they could have just made it invisible (and it's closed-source, how convenient).

But if it's a bug, that means the maker did literally zero testing of their code. Like, they didn't ONCE try pressing "Straight Democratic Party" after programming the machine.
