The awful provision prohibiting "...individuals from handing out food and water to voters" was tossed out, among other things.

Great news! The right for noncitizen parents to vote in San Francisco school board elections has been upheld as legal.
Remember, this doesn't let noncitizens vote in federal, state, or other local races. Just SF school board.
(Oh, and the court's ruling also applies to our neighbors in Oakland!)

#Republicans, including that special little fella, #TedCruz, are in a tizzy about the new #Barbie movie.
Why?
If the #GOP can keep you spun-up on pseudo-issues like Barbie outrage, #Budlight, #dragqueens, and other chyron-worthy non-events, then *you're* not thinking about their disastrous #abortion, #healthcare, #immigration, #VotingRights, and #redistricting policies come election time.

Alabama Legislators are still working to disenfranchise black voters with racial gerrymander, in spite of US Supreme Court Order not to.

Federal judges ruled that a revised redistricting map would "need to include two districts in which Black voters either comprise a voting-age majority or something quite close to it." Instead, the new map devised by the Alabama Legislature contains one Black-majority district and one district that leans Republic with a voting-age population that is only 42% Black. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/alabama-redistricting-congressional-map-black-voters/ #USPol #Alabama #votingRights #structuralRacism #gerrymandering

@marcelias You know, cowards usually don’t like to come at you directly. If the GOP thought their policies were desirable for most of the population, they wouldn’t implement voter suppression. Since they’re really a minority party with unpopular policies, they feel compelled to embrace anti-democratic means. We have to work harder and get out the vote. Get young people to vote and start winning local elections. #Democracy #VotingRights #Vote

Here's an older story from NPR, from June, with more on the history of the GOP pulling out of the ERIC program:
' "It's this crazy zeal to get out of ERIC," said J. Christian Adams, a conservative elections attorney, "that is going to cause voter fraud to flourish." '
https://www.npr.org/2023/06/04/1171159008/eric-investigation-voter-data-election-integrity

"GOP states quit the program that fights voter fraud. Now they’re scrambling."
"The program, known as the Electronic Registration Information Center, was arguably the best nationwide tool states had to catch people trying to vote twice."

What beautiful words by #JudgeMarkWalker as he enjoins #DeSatan’s attempt to restrict #VotingRights in #FloridaWhen state government power threatens to spread beyond constitutional bounds and reduce individual rights to ashes, the federal judiciary stands as a firewall,"

Missed this from last year: The American Medical Association (#AMA) adopted a resolution on #VotingRights and #PublicHealth.
https://policysearch.ama-assn.org/policyfinder/detail/voting?uri=%2FAMADoc%2FHOD.xml-h-440.805.xml
"AMA supports measures to facilitate safe and equitable access to #voting as a harm-reduction strategy to safeguard public health…#Voting is a social determinant of #health… #Gerrymandering…limits access to health care."
PS: Think about votes that affect health #insurance, #abortion, #trans care.

There is only one political party in the United States that advances radical, fringe legal theories to oppress large voting blocs they deem adversarial. #GOP #VotingRights #USpol

@flexghost Eight states plus Washington, DC, have "all mail voting" (aka, vote by mail or vote at home). It's pretty hard to keep up the facade that there's a problem with allowing *everyone* to vote by mail, not just disabled folks.
And by the way, vote by mail is not accessible to all disabled folks. Voters with certain disabilities need other accessible methods. One size does *not* fit all.

So if Trump is convicted before Election Day 2024 on any of these charges, all felonies, he can run for President, be elected President, probably serve as President, but not vote for himself? 🤔
