Just a reminder, in addition to Musk, Trump outsourced his GOTV to Charlie Kirk…

Gotta love how easily MAGA falls for it. Every single time. Most gullible people on the planet. Even with these lines, couldn't tell it was a satire: "You called us garbage and in order to prove that we aren't garbage, we got a truck that hauls garbage, does that sound like something garbage would do, would be to drive around in a truck that hauls garbage?" "You can't call a group of people garbage unless it's meant to be funny and in that case those people need to stop being so soft. Maybe get a sense of humor. But if you call me garbage, that's offensive." "I'm gonna show up to the polls wearing a garbage bag to show you what us white trash can do and they're gonna rename election day garbage day 'cause we're gonna be taking out the trash. Which is you. Even though I'll be the one wearing the garbage bag." Maybe try clicking on his profile where his bio says comedian and he has a bunch of videos trashing Trump... How long until Don Jr. or other MAGA leaders are posting this unironically as well?

This whole phone gps thing is just astrocharts for incels. “Look! There are numbers on an excel sheet! It has to be true!”

If you are in line to get groped by Donald Trump, STAY IN LINE

If it comes out to turnout, you gotta think the side that invested heavily in GOTV has the edge over the side that outsourced it to the man with the smallest face and the South African human trafficker.

Would love to see Dukakis’ reaction to watching this

If Harris wins, a decent amount of the credit will go to Trump outsourcing GOTV to Musk.

A Woman Died After Being Told It Would Be a “Crime” to Intervene in Her Miscarriage at a Texas Hospital "The fetus was on the verge of coming out, its head pressed against her dilated cervix; she was 17 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage was “in progress,” doctors noted in hospital records. At that point, they should have offered to speed up the delivery or empty her uterus to stave off a deadly infection, more than a dozen medical experts told ProPublica. But when Barnica’s husband rushed to her side from his job on a construction site, she relayed what she said the medical team had told her: “They had to wait until there was no heartbeat,” he told ProPublica in Spanish. “It would be a crime to give her an abortion.” For 40 hours, the anguished 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter; all the while, her uterus remained exposed to bacteria. Three days after she delivered, Barnica died of an infection." *** "In a state that hadn’t banned abortion, Barnica could have immediately been offered the options that major medical organizations, including international ones, say is the standard of evidence-based care: speeding up labor with medication or a dilation and evacuation procedure to empty the uterus. “We know that the sooner you intervene in these situations, the better outcomes are,” said Dr. Steven Porter, an OB-GYN in Cleveland. But Texas’ new abortion ban had just gone into effect. It required physicians to confirm the absence of a fetal heartbeat before intervening unless there was a “medical emergency,” which the law did not define. It required doctors to make written notes on the patient’s condition and the reason abortion was necessary. The law did not account for the possibility of a future emergency, one that could develop in hours or days without intervention, doctors told ProPublica. Barnica was technically still stable. But lying in the hospital with her cervix open wider than a baseball left her uterus exposed to bacteria and placed her at high risk of developing sepsis, experts told ProPublica. Infections can move fast and be hard to control once they take hold. The scenario felt all too familiar for Dr. Leilah Zahedi-Spung, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who used to work in Tennessee and reviewed a summary of Barnica’s records at ProPublica’s request. Abortion bans put doctors in an impossible position, she said, forcing them to decide whether to risk malpractice or a felony charge. After her state enacted one of the strictest bans in the country, she also waited to offer interventions in cases like Barnica’s until the fetal heartbeat stopped or patients showed signs of infection, praying every time that nothing would go wrong. It’s why she ultimately moved to Colorado."

Well that is certainly a new approach to voter engagement. https://x.com/jdcmedlock/status/1851655263092101355?s=46

Except that non-citizens voting rarely ever happens despite what politicians claim. It's just a boogeyman to convince people there's fraud when they lose. Even the conservative Heritage Foundation could only find 77 instances of non-citizens voting in a 24 year period. Another study found that out of 23.5 million votes in 40 jurisdictions in 2016 found a total of 30 non-citizens voting. (source) Meanwhile, some of the tools used for voter purges have had false-positive rates north of 90%. The risk of scores of non-citizens registering to vote and successfully voting in the 90 days prior to the election is infinitesimal. It's far more likely that you end up accidentally purging eligible voters from the rolls.

You're imputing motive with no evidence other than concocting a reason that makes your side in the right.

People big mad about the Virginia case do realize that it was orchestrated to cause this controversy, right? There was absolutely nothing preventing Virginia from purging voters before the 90-day deadline. They waited because they wanted the headlines. If they actually cared about this issue, they would have just done it sooner to avoid this mess.

It's exactly the opposite. Because I live in a state that has experienced rampant institutional corruption, I'm acutely aware of it and it's implications for the people. That's why I think poll watchers and election observers are a good thing (so long as they follow the rules). The GOP uses them too. The goal is literally to ensure that rules are being followed. If you have the opportunity, it could be a good thing to try yourself. Years ago, I got to be an observer on a recount. It was pretty cool to see and be a part of.

Lots of people in this thread seem unfamiliar with basic election concepts like poll watchers.

Biden’s not dead, he’s just on his way to Georgia to murder Jimmy Carter to help Harris

If you dislike inflation, you’re really gonna dislike Trump’s tariff plan…

Somebody seems to have gotten some bad news about PA voting

One of the fun parts of the right wing grift is that whenever a public official screws up so badly that it could end their career, they turn right wing because they know that audience will buy literally anything.

We did. It’s all pretty clearly documented and public. In fact, most of it was pretty well known soon after the incident occurred but it wasn’t fun so people had to make up stories about gay lovers.

Biden’s not dead, he’s just been operating their AI tool to add people to Harris’s rallies.

Only way to get there is to get an electoral system that reduces or eliminates the spoiler effect for third parties. One such system, Ranked Choice Voting, is picking up steam and would be a big improvement on the current system.

Yet another reason to have an election system that allows for third parties without the spoiler effect (like Ranked Choice): it would help prevent one-party rule by providing a path forward when one of the current two parties becomes non-competitive. The Colorado GOP may be effectively dead, but you could have a new conservative party rise without cannibalizing the vote

It's a weird thing to have an issue with since it doesn't really change anything or allow for fraud and isn't in the hands of the voter.

I'm sorry, I'm just having difficulty understanding what your concern around the 3 day rule is. According to Nevada election laws: Ballots delivered by hand have to be in by 7pm on Election Day Ballots received within three days of Election Day were almost certainly mailed on or before Election Day, so they are acceptable Ballots received four days after Election Day may have been mailed after Election Day and therefore require to have been postmarked on or before Election Day Ballots received five days after Election Day are not accepted even if postmarked on or before Election Day All ballots are verified before being counted Where is the issue here? Is the concern that hundreds or thousands of people are going to mail in their ballot the day after Election Day and have them somehow arrive within two days?
