Early voters in Georgia face obstacles under state’s new election law
November 9, 2022 at 9:25 am #141584znModerator60% of people in Uvalde voted for Greg Abbott. 60% of people in Uvalde don't think the deadliest mass school shooting in Texas history is enough to actually want gun reform. 60% of people in Uvalde think that 19 children murdered isn't quite enough to want to change anything.

November 9, 2022 at 7:27 pm #141593znModeratorPundits are out now to fix the narrative. It went from red wave to tight race. From we need two senate to do Roe to we holding ground.
Next is gridlock story.
“Roe is what we want but they won’t let us”. Prep for next “democracy is on the line” election!!? https://t.co/1lFcjJbb4t— RepDem Oligarchy (@MoSoApril2019) November 9, 2022
November 9, 2022 at 7:34 pm #141596znModeratorGail Mellor@authorpendragonYou will hear a lot more from Charles Booker. Although our state newspapers all endorsed Booker against Ron Paul, the DNC would not give Booker a penny.We’re a poor state, preyed on by Rand Paul (Texan funded by Chinese, Russians, corps and insider trading,) Confronting him was Booker, young, Black, progressive, backed by state newspapers. DNC refused to help. Booker got 42% of vote anyway.November 9, 2022 at 7:41 pm #141598znModeratorI know it’s one of life’s few constants, but I never get tired of Joe Rogan being wrong. https://t.co/jYHFh0X6Oz

November 9, 2022 at 9:17 pm #141601znModeratorCory Booker@CoryBookerEverywhere access to abortion was on the ballot last night, voters overwhelmingly chose to protect that right. Today I am so grateful for the activists and advocates who worked to defend the rights of women to make their own decisions.November 11, 2022 at 9:01 pm #141606znModeratorfrom Facebook
Let’s do a recap of states with ballot measures that would change their constitutions to ban slavery and prison labor, according to an ABC News report..Alabama: With 72 percent of expected votes in, Alabama voted for the removal of several Jim Crow-era sections of their state constitution, including one that allowed for slavery as criminal punishment, one that barred interracial marriage and one that separated schools for white and Black students. Some 77 percent of voters voted “yes,” but it is still notable that 23 percent, or close to 270,000 voters, were against this measure in a former pro-slavery state..Louisiana: With 95 percent expected votes in, Louisiana voted against a constitutional amendment to remove language allowing slavery as punishment, with 60.9 percent voting no. That’s close to 800,000 voters against the measure. But according to reporting from ABC News, it seems like there was a lot of confusion in how the ballot measure was worded. State Rep. Edmond Jordan said he asked people to vote against it in hopes of bringing it back next year and making sure the language is clear and unambiguous..Oregon: With 64 percent expected votes in, Oregon voted for the removal of constitutional language allowing slavery as punishment. It will also add language that authorizes officials to order alternatives to incarceration for a convicted individual as part of their sentencing. Just over 54 percent voted “yes,” with over 45 percent — or close to 640,000 Oregonians — voting “no.”Tennessee: With 68 percent expected votes in, the overwhelming majority of voters — 80 percent — voted for a measure to remove constitutional language allowing slavery as punishment. But it’s still notable that 20 percent — over 332,000 voters — voting against..Vermont: Vermont’s proposal had the biggest support margin — with 89 percent of voters agreeing to prohibit slavery in the state constitutionNovember 12, 2022 at 12:26 pm #141618znModeratorSean Hannity plays dumb, says he doesn’t know where the predictions of a red wave came from. So the Washington Post lets him have it with a supercut of his own Fox News predicting a red wave. pic.twitter.com/Uq2J3PMdlw

November 12, 2022 at 3:04 pm #141623znModeratorG. Elliott Morris@gelliottmorrismarkets have Dems at 95%+ to win Nevada (and with it, the Senate majority). the math on outstanding votes clearly points the same way. the networks just haven’t called it because they are terrified of losing credibility https://nytimes.com/2022/11/12/upshot/nevada-senate-cortez-masto-mail-ballots.html.Jude (Alpha Mule)@OregonMapGuy(Spoiler Alert) Democrats are winning the uncalled races in CaliforniaNovember 30, 2022 at 12:22 pm #141890znModeratorBREAKING: More than 200,000 Georgians have cast their ballots so far today and it's only 3:30pm in Georgia. If this pace continues, Georgia will break yesterday's turnout number, which already marked the highest turnout in the state's history. My jaw is on the floor.

Because Raphael Warnock won and Democrats have 51 Senate seats, Senate committees will no longer be evenly split. There will be Democratic control of committees — meaning no nominees or bills being deadlocked. That could quicken the pace of judicial nominations.December 12, 2022 at 9:25 pm #142135znModeratorMassachusetts recount flips state house election to Democrat by one vote! 💙
