There are many problems with #USA #democracy Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election: The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact https://www.vox.com/politics/487766/national-popular-vote-interstate-compact-electoral-college https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact

Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican. After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-doj-puerto-rico-election-fraud-prison-drugs-votes?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #PuertoRico #USPolitics #Law #Legal #Fraud #Election #Prison #Vote

Seriously messed up #Louisiana #GOP races to eliminate an elected office won by an #exonerated man A man imprisoned for nearly 30 years before being exonerated won a landmark #election in #NewOrleans promising to fix a #judicial system that failed him. Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry & the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in. #law #NOLA #USpol #LApol https://apnews.com/article/new-orleans-criminal-clerk-calvin-duncan-exonerated-d247677aa601a85cac604645d50fc739

Have a read through all the promises 'Santos' Malinauskas will again forget about post-election, just like he "forgot" to fix the Hospital Ramping, his PRIMARY election promise last time around.. 🙄 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-06/sa-election-promise-tracker-2026/106414866 #Corruption #Lies #SayAnythingToGetElected #News #AUSPol #Election #Voting #Adelaide #Scams

The Times’s examination also offers a window into how #Musk used private #companies to support #Trump during the 2024 #election. Tapping these companies to cover the expenses of a #superPAC is “highly unusual”, #CampaignFinance experts said, & ended up obscuring how #money was being spent because they are not subject to the disclosure requirements of super PACs. #law #business #fraud #elite #impunity #power #billionaires

“Palestine Action hunger striker Amu Gib to stand in local elections while in prison” by Ricky And Council Estate Media on Substack @uk_politics “Amu Gib, a 30-year-old activist affiliated with Palestine Action, has been selected by Islington Community Independents to stand in the local elections. This news is particularly striking given that Gib is currently on remand, awaiting trial. A victory for Gib would be a significant rebuke to Keir Starmer, emphasising he is out of touch, especially regarding the proscription of Palestine Action” https://open.substack.com/pub/councilestatemedia/p/palestine-action-hunger-striker-amu #Press #SocialMedia #UK #Gib #PalestineAction #Remand #HungerStrike #Election #Islington #Starmer #Labour

This time around conman 'Santos' Malinauskas is *promising* 'Land and Houses', just like he promised to "fix the ramping" last time around.. 🤣 Maybe if we all believe him "this time around" that "this time will be different", eh? 🙄 lol! 🤣😆🤣 A vote for Labor SA is a vote for more: Santos Algal Bloom, more conman Malinauskas wining & dining the saudi's, more Adelaide Parklands destroyed, more Hospital Ramping (which was his primary promise to 'solve' last time around & failed), more spruiking the failed outdated subs #AUKUS contract which plans to dump nuclear waste at Osborne, more protest & human-rights banning, more visiting genocidists wined & dined, more Israeli-Lobby Appeasement, and more spruiking Santos Contracts for Malinauskas's family-run toxic fossil fuel company Santos (with brother Rob on the board). Don't make the same mistake twice South Australians, vote GREENS for a REAL change for the better. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02-22/labor-launches-sa-election-campaign-with-housing-policy/106373392 #Corruption #LaborFail #Adelaide #News #Greens #SouthAustralia #Election

From the Bipartisan Policy Center regarding the #SAVEAct: Here’s what you need to know about requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote: 1) Citizenship is already a requirement to vote, and instances of noncitizen voting are rare. 2) Many eligible citizens don’t have access to documentary proof of citizenship. 3) There are better ways to verify citizenship that put the responsibility on government, not voters. 4) The SAVE Act could have unintended consequences for election officials and election administration. 5) The SAVE Act needs more time and resources to be implemented well. https://bipartisanpolicy.org/article/five-things-to-know-about-the-save-act/ #USpol #USpolitics #election #elections #voting #vote

The regime is openly going for it, as anyone with any sense surely realized they would. “We have states that I won that show I didn’t win. Now you’re going to see something in Georgia where they were able to get, with a court order, the ballots. You’re going to see some interesting things come out.” -DT https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/02/trump-goes-public-with-plan-to-take-over-elections-fulton-county-georgia/ I've long realized elections in the United States are over. Well, elections as we knew them. (North Korea and Russia have "elections" too.) #criminal #election #electionfraud #midterms #election2028 #DC #news #worldnews #America #authoritarianism #destroyingAmerica #breakingnews #states #facism
