Finally, David beating Goliath (ie GOP Nassau county corrupt machine) is a welcome relief for all of us blue dots just trying to survive here on Long Island

We need to end gerrymandering completely. Find the geographical center and draw a straight line through it!

Thanks Marc Elias - you and yours stopped voter repression attempts before the 2024 election and you are now again protecting democracy by holding people accountable to the values of our democracy!

Great news. I live in Nassau County

Nassau county citizen here! This is great news!

Other states need to follow suit and pass laws to replicate the VRA. There will be NO enforcement on the federal level for the next 4 years, so it's up to the states to do it.

I live on long island - the people here SUCK - voter suppression is exactly the sort of thing Long Island supremacist Trump supporters dig

I have GREAT friends tho & the water - the water is AMAZING - I avoid MAGA who, of course, poison the water with fuel from their boats but they are ok with that

Finally! Good news!

lmvlayman.bsky.social•41 days ago

This is where I am from and I’m so glad to see Nassau voters will now be confident their votes will count.

Great to hear some more good news today. 😷

It's only 1 B&N, but the 'zines with the convicted felon on the cover are missing-purchased or trashed. All remaining: late former president Carter.

YAY!!

I live in Nassau County. That's great! Trump republicans have kind of taken over the county. This embarrassing umbrella boy is the Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. He's assembled a secret militia of Nassau County residents who own guns.

broekn.bsky.social•41 days ago

Trump is setting up a private militia - ICE & his Jan. 6th swamp thing terrorists & rich boy militia around the country - these forces operate beyond our laws, due process or rule of law & are accountable to NO ONE but Trump

WHO can stop this? Our 'President' can't have his own army

mbuss1234.bsky.social•41 days ago

Instant follow for awareness

broekn.bsky.social•41 days ago

Like I said the majority of people on Long Island SUCK - but not all and apparently not you annominos

When are we going to implement the Fair Voting Act and its equivalent legislation for State Legislatures? Let's bring fairer districts and more voices to the governing table.

Wow! That’s good news.

Let the citizens of every "red" state take note and begin efforts in their own state courts to end the tyranny of the minority in their statehouses, to the benefit of ALL citizens of their beloved states.
