As a north country voter in NY I'll happily vote blue but it's very unlikely my neighbors will. It's hard red around here.

conniemary.bsky.social•53 days ago

Absolutely. Vote blue and save our democracy.

jgrose.bsky.social•53 days ago

We would only need to flip 2 for the lead in the house. There’s nothing more important than flipping seats and defending seats.

kag723.bsky.social•52 days ago

Dems need all three for a majority (to reach 218 out of 435); the elections are to fill two vacancies and one projected vacancy.

smolanimeimouto.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why tf do we live in a timeline where people consistently make the worst decisions despite having access to all of the world's information?

altcdc.altgov.info•53 days ago

Please do anything you can to support the dem candidates. We know most dems have been less than inspiring but they are our best chance right now. If you live in one of these districts, get your communities out to vote!

Thank you, I was wanting to see who the 3 were!

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

I have donated a goodly amount to each one of those plus the WI Dem up for a state Supreme Court seat, Apr 1 That’s really important for bringing a case for redistributing

voxevangeline.bsky.social•53 days ago

To my married sisters and brothers out there, if you took your partner's name, make sure you own a passport with that name on it. In order to vote, you may be required to show a passport or birth certificate that matches the name on your voter registration. Many married women don't own a passport.

sarahf.bsky.social•52 days ago

Wait, has that passed yet? I thought it was still being debated

voxevangeline.bsky.social•52 days ago

Not yet, but it's a priority in the House, and who is to say they won't stop people from changing their voter roles in the interim. I'm sending the alarm out so that we can get our ducks in a row, and alert our female and LGBTQ friends.

moorenvironmental.bsky.social•52 days ago

Also this critical election in Wisconsin for their State Supreme Court position. Elon is putting a million dollars into her competitor.

Vote Forward have a couple letter writing campaign set up, chance to speak directly to potential voters there (albeit without getting partisan).

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

I’ve donated to her twice

polishedreader15.bsky.social•52 days ago

I would like to like this more! I’ve been following it very closely and hoping for the best!!!

sbshipway.bsky.social•52 days ago

goodegghalfcracked.bsky.social•53 days ago

Any pills on these?

rrcharles.bsky.social•52 days ago

I hear the FL districts are pretty red, but these are unprecedented times. If/once Cook Political Report and the like change the ratings they’ll probably blow up. Like Jonathan Nez in Arizona last year for one…also Stefanik’s UN nomination has yet to actually happen but she did just plug it at ADL.

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

I find Elise Stefanik to be a thoroughly disgusting person.

grassianil.bsky.social•52 days ago

I heard that Mike Johnson is holding back on letting Elise Stefanik to have her hearing for the UN slot. Probably wants her help to pass the misery budget. But this candidate could use some bucks. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/gendebien_social

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

I’ve sent him at least a couple hundred

riandraegon.bsky.social•53 days ago

Florida? Fingers crossed.

jfk117.bsky.social•52 days ago

Elise Stefanik hasn’t resigned yet (NY – 21).

karlnintendostar.bsky.social•52 days ago

Use paper and vote blue on paper!

rosewig.bsky.social•52 days ago

Or DOGE will oversee the elections & find "fraud" & declare GOP winners.
Anyone care to wager?

thebriandavidson.bsky.social•52 days ago

From FL-1. If you think that a Democrat could win this seat under any current situation you are nuts. Jimmy Patronis is untouchable, hell, he could be Governor. These are the same dipshits that kept re-electing Gaetz.

Move along.

altcdc.altgov.info•52 days ago

Giving up and not trying won't help us either. Even if we don't win the seats, reducing the margins may get the republicans' attention.

larry.earth•52 days ago

The margins in these races are critically important. I predict they will send a clear message.

thebriandavidson.bsky.social•52 days ago

Margins are one thing … yes … send the message loud and clear. That District voted for 68% for Trump.

juss-do-it.bsky.social•52 days ago

We need a billionaire on our side to pump money into that election

sarahf.bsky.social•52 days ago

I think the voting machines are compromised and we have to DEMAND manual count of all ballots out of the gate (even though the law says we just do risk limit auditing)

veevz.bsky.social•52 days ago

What makes you think they are compromised (Asking as an election worker)? Manual counting has more error and takes MUCH longer.

sarahf.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yes, manual counting is error prone. But there are ways to mitigate it and I think the longer time and risk for small errors here is more than justified, given the very real possibility that many Dem votes will just be deleted during the electronic count

veevz.bsky.social•52 days ago

I'll look at that link soon, but that just doesn't make sense(and I'm a dem by the way). When you count votes, the ballots given/issued needs to exactly match with those counted at the end. That and if your ballots have both R's and D's on it it's impossible to know who is registered as what.

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

There have been credible reports that MANY provisional ballots were never counted due to extremely minor mistakes, also same with mail ballots.

veevz.bsky.social•46 days ago

Very thankful we at least don't need a signature to compare to.

veevz.bsky.social•46 days ago

That's always the hugest bummer to see. In VA for early mail voting thankfully the registrar can contact them to fix their inner envelope. With provisional there isn't any way to fix mistakes after the election, not currently anyways.

Ethan Shaotran’s documented interest in ballot machines/election security.

The comments slipping out by Trump, Musk and his son hinting he tampered with 2024 election.

Musk wearing a black hat. If you’re not in tech: he’s dog whistling he’s a (malicious) hacker.

veevz.bsky.social•52 days ago

I looked at the substack, it's interesting data, but there are key points missing(provisional ballots being the biggest thing I can think of). I tried to look up Shaotran's account here and all I saw were people posting that he's a Musk/DOGE stooge, so I'm immediately skeptical.

sarahf.bsky.social•52 days ago

I don’t know why no one is talking about this (hackathon where Shaotran was a on the winning team with a project to generate ballots with a given distribution):
https://github.com/DevrathIyer/ballotproof

veevz.bsky.social•52 days ago

I can only really give an example from my state of Virginia, but we have multiple envelopes for mail in ballots. You have your outer envelope, that's got your return address and it's mailed to the registrar. Inside is a second envelope that you fill out with your specific information: DoB, Name,...

sarahf.bsky.social•52 days ago

As for the Substack, I’m not an expert and you clearly know more than I do about this. But, I know enough stats to agree it’s odd. Specifically, it’s odd enough there should really be a more in depth audit of the districts where it was unexpected that Trump would win.

kristinfo.bsky.social•52 days ago

Is there a -or- Can we form a post card campaign to reach out to registered voters in those districts??

kristinfo.bsky.social•52 days ago

Please feel free to message me with a link to any postcard campaign.

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

Many groups conduct postcard writing;
Field Team 6
Vote Forward
Indivisible
there are more but I can’t think of them off hand

justinenlawson.bsky.social•52 days ago

It took me over 30 minutes to find their names in a Google search today. No matter how I asked it the search went to 2024 elections. Google must be suppressing the search & with the media not covering it I worry there will be a low turnout. Gave $ to Gay Valimont, Josh Weil & Blake Gendebien.

pjschuster.bsky.social•46 days ago

It’s so much easier to sign up for an account on
https://actblue.com
Then you can easily locate candidates by state
or by choosing for elections happening within 7 days or within 30 days. I’ve been using that site for many years

cleanteeth.bsky.social•52 days ago

@mcuban.bsky.social know anyone that can donate to help?

katelutz.bsky.social•52 days ago

I am at a loss with the FL seats. I signed up to help. I live in FL (but not anywhere close to the areas and don’t have a car). Still, I signed up and recruited people to help from all the way from NJ. They called me and acted like because I wasn’t there I wasn’t going to be helpful… for real?

jfk117.bsky.social•52 days ago

They who?

jc0rn.bsky.social•53 days ago

That’s probably why it’s been so quiet

letymiranda.bsky.social•52 days ago

If you are not in FL or NY, you can donate to their campaigns!

musicscott.bsky.social•52 days ago

Why the hell aren't the dems shouting this from the rooftops? Target these districts with everything they have.

fighting-fascists.bsky.social•52 days ago

THANK YOU! EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THIS!

miss-soup-witch.bsky.social•53 days ago

I saw somewhere that they are PURGING VOTER REGISTRATIONS in Florida!! We need to get the word out to ensure that people are properly registered. I think the last day to register is TODAY.
