Whether it's a trial balloon or not, reacting to Exec Order news today- @lwvus.bsky.social makes it clear that the any attempts to rewrite history to allow the President to nationalize elections will fail in court and in the court of public opinion. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Was honored to be in the presence of Jesse Jackson several times over the last decade— here at the 2015 Selma commemoration. The framing of a better America- racial and economic justice— and a commitment to human rights worldwide will be his legacy. Rest in power, Rev Jackson.

Election officials push back after FBI search of Georgia elections office Secretaries of state say years of audits and recounts have already validated the 2020 election.

State election officials project confidence they'll withstand whatever Trump throws at them next; he's been crying fraud for what seems like ages and courts and most of the public have seen through it.

FBI searches Fulton County elections office seeking 2020 ballots. Here's what we know. The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday at an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, seeking to take ballots in an investigation that a source told CBS News is linked to the 2020 presidential...

I appeared on CBS News last night to discuss the FBI serving a warrant on the Fulton County, GA elections office. As I note, those ballots have been counted 3 times, 3 different ways, once entirely by hand, all confirming the results over 5 years ago.

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

Groups worry that limiting paths to citizenship may reduce voter registration efforts Each month, thousands of people across the country become U.S. citizens, and that new title comes with a new responsibility: the right to vote.

Pennsylvania says Ohio exaggerated its interest in sharing voter data Ohio said in December that Pennsylvania was “finalizing an agreement.” Pennsylvania says talks had fizzled out in September.

This struck me as unusual— and now @votebeat.org digs a bit deeper into the “list sharing”. www.votebeat.org/pennsylvania...

Naturalization ceremonies are literally the 1st opportunities people have to register as new citizens, and they have all the paperwork needed. See this oped by @lwvus.bsky.social 's @thecelinafactor.bsky.social and @headcountorg.bsky.social 's Lucille Wenegieme on this: thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Not only are Chalkbeat and Votebeat must-read publications to understand What Is Happening in education/voting, but lemme quickly tell you how amazing Jessica is.

She has come to speak to our newsroom 3 or 4 times and every time, I learn something new. Our journalism is better because of her.

Thousands of local election ballots rejected over Montana’s new year-of-birth requirement Election staff say they were able to work with voters to remedy many of the rejections.

A new requirement that voters write their year of birth on mail-in ballot envelopes resulted in a TENFOLD increase in rejected ballots. Let’s be clear: adding obstacles like this will not make our elections safer. They stop eligible Americans from voting ⤵️

Trump administration blocks groups from voter registration at naturalization events Nongovernmental groups like the League of Women Voters are now barred from registering new voters at naturalization ceremonies, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has announced.

Registration at naturalization ceremonies is a huge initiative at the League. If the gov’t did registration, we wouldn’t need to. Which begs thw question as to why they’re trying to stop the practice. www.npr.org/2025/09/02/n...
