#Trump is running to become the leader of a country he is “alleged” to not only have attacked, but also to have denied its citizens of their #RightToVote & have their #vote counted, the core defining principles on which a democratic republic is based. If the allegations are proven, he cannot be allowed to run let alone win. People must have this information #unfiltered w/o #spin.

“While my administration will never cave to conspiracy theorists, it nevertheless is true that the value of ERIC to us going forward is a debatable question,” he said. “Kentucky is about to pay a lot more money to get a lot less information.” - KY SOS Adams

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra

Maybe #ERIC would have more value if more states stayed in it. Oh, wait....

Judge blocks new Florida election law, signed by DeSantis this spring, calling it the 'latest assault on the right to vote

As per Victor Shi:

«NEW: a federal judge just issued a preliminary #injunction in a lawsuit challenging #RonDeSantis’s attempt to suppress young voters, saying, the law is “an assault on the #RightToVote” & #Florida is “not free to exceed the bounds of the #US #Constitution.”

People leaving #prison automatically regained the #righttovote under the previous governor. But Youngkin ended that policy and now decides who gets to cast a ballot.

It is always fascinating to me that Britain, France and other countries have a (legal) proxy vote.

That's unconstitutional in Germany. And I have to say I would not feel comfortable with somebody else voting for me. 🤷

What we have is the right to have somebody vote for you in your presence. That's for handicapped people e.g. And of course there is always the possibility to vote by mail.

#PopeFrancis approved changes to the norms governing the #SynodOfBishops, a #Vatican body that gathers the world’s bishops together for periodic meetings, following years of demands by #women to have the #RightToVote.

The Vatican on Wednesday published the modifications he approved, which emphasize his vision for the lay faithful taking on a greater role in #Church affairs that have long been left to clerics, #bishops and #cardinals.

Today is both a great and sad day for my fellow Wisconsites.

Great because we get to vote for the state's future.

Sad because the supreme court race has become politicized I fear beyond repair.

Great because most of my family and friends have or will vote, even if they vote differently than I would.

Sad because a large percentage of eligible voters still won't vote.

If the last 10 years have taught us anything, the right to vote is more powerful than ever!

Don't forget 🤦 you will need ID 🛂 to vote in the UK 🇬🇧 local elections 🗳️ on the 4th May.

👉 If you don't have any, get it here:

No ID = No Vote 🙅

🗨️ Share this with your younger UK friends, people affected by poverty, or those from minority communities - it's them who are most affected - they are less likely to have any official ID

We'll be LIVE on Saturday morning, talking about the UK's decision to insist on Photo ID, which will remove the right to vote from many British citizens!
