This was the more important, and scarier, provision of Ohio Issue 1. Odd that nobody was calling attention to it. An obvious maneuver to let the land vote, not the people:

"Require that any initiative petition filed on or after January 1, 2024 with the Secretary of State proposing to amend the Constitution of the State of Ohio be signed by at least five percent of the electors of each county based on the total vote in the county for governor in the last preceding election."

Pretty normal for #Bicester. Perhaps #VoterSuppresion isn't all bad. Best bit for me:

When asked why she was in possession of a shotgun in the first place, Ms Jeacock said: “I don’t use the shotgun, as it was my late father’s.

“But when he passed away, I decided that I would keep it going as a keepsake.”

Remember to #vote if you can in the #LocalElections2023 across #England and #Wales. And if you are prevented from voting because of the stupid #VoterID rules, remember to kick up a stink- write to your #MP about the scandal of #VoterSuppresion

Republican-controlled legislatures around the country have moved to erect new barriers to voting for high school and college students in what critics call a blatant attempt to suppress the youth vote as young people increasingly bolster Democratic candidates and liberal causes at the ballot box.

Holy shit, @pbump reports on a Rudy Giuliani interview where he says the current president of the NY Yankees was part of a voter suppression effort with Hispanic voters in East Harlem back in the 90’s.

“So they went through East Harlem, which is all Hispanic,” he said. “And they gave out little cards and the cards said, if you come to vote, make sure you have your green card because INS is picking up illegals.”

Nothing to see here. Just a mistake. Probably just a first draft, published in error.

#Tories #VoterSuppresion isn't a thing. It's a genuine problem affecting, oh, fours of people every couple of years.

Frankly, at this stage it would be easier for these #Republican states to abolish #voting altogether

Did they use voter suppression on themselves not knowing it was a vote for their own Speaker? They really don’t like that Kevin guy. #speakerofthehouse #VoterSuppresion #118thCongress https://www.npr.org/2023/01/03/1146600160/mccarthy-scrambles-for-votes-to-be-elected-speaker-of-the-house

"The logistics of the 2022 runoff will look different than 2021, after the Republican-controlled Georgia legislature passed a law last year that...shortened the runoff period from nine weeks to four weeks. The new law also restricted early voting during the runoff and essentially eliminated the ability to register new voters...".
