"... it turns out that Trump did not win 50% of the vote... his margin comes in at 44th out of the 51 elections that have been held since 1824. He also had very short coattails—four Democrats won in states Trump carried—and the Republicans have the smallest House majority since there have been 50 states, despite the help... from the extreme gerrymandering in states like North Carolina.
More Americans voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him."

I reported my #vulnerability in #Georgia's #voter registration platform to the Secretary of State 90 days ago. They've still done nothing (and deny that it's even exploitable).

It isn't enough of a vulnerability to cover the ~115,000 #vote difference in the Presidential #election, but it could be quite significant nonetheless, especially in smaller races.

Is there any good¹ reason I shouldn't just drop full details? It's extremely tempting and I'm not the only person to have discovered this (s/o @abreacher ²). The only thing that was really stopping me before was the likelihood of bullshit³ election challenges by the far right, but that's now moot.

Questionable Journalists and others claim that criticizing news outlets for their biased coverage is somehow unfounded and unfair. That is just plain false.

The media needs to cut this shit out right now — The Narrative needs a horse race, so they're INVENTING one.

These stats are only through June 17 - ten days *before* the debate.

This isn’t balanced or unbiased. Something is wrong.

We found 144 articles focused on either or both Biden’s and Trump’s ages or mental acuities in the period studied, with 67% focused just on Biden’s age or mental acuity and only 7% on just Trump’s.

I mean, I knew like many of you that #KamalaHarris was using the 2016 Clinton campaign playbook, but I had no idea she was cribbing it word-for-word. Even with all of my cynicism, this #news still stuns me.

I can't believe that many of my US American comrades refuse to #vote for #Harris as an act of solidarity with Palestinians. What a self serving grandiose fucking fantasy that won't help anyone in #Palestine. #Trump 100% supports Netanyahu. He will stop humanitarian aid to #Gaza he could support Israeli expansion into Lebanon and Syria.
Explain your self-righteous fantasies to the women who won't get access to #abortion, to the deported #immigrants and to #LGBTQI community.You enabled a fascist.

#PSA
I've been made aware of some #Misinformation going around about the #US #Election count.

It has been pointed out that about 15 million expected #votes have not been counted, and that the current popular vote total is very different from the #polls. This is actually to be expected: this is why we kept saying that we wouldn't know the vote totals for several days.

Nearly 10% of the votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania, states called for Trump, have not been counted yet. While it's doubtful that it will sway anything, we know that most of those votes are Harris votes.

50% of California has not been counted, even though the state has been called for Harris: we know that the vast majority of these votes will be for her.

So yes, the vote total is missing about 15 million people, probably more considering we had record turnout.

That's to be expected: they're still counting.

For what it's worth, Harris will likely win the popular #vote.

Note that #Harris said nothing about ending the #genocide. The war is between #Israel and #Hamas. What’s happening to hundreds of thousands of Palestinians is ethnic cleansing and land theft.

Everyone knows to stay in line if the polls close while you’re in line, right? If you’re in line, you get to vote.

Wait and get your vote counted. #Election2024 #StayInLine #Vote

Non-Republican candidates running for any and all public offices in #Florida are at risk of being summarily dismissed by Governor #RonDeSantis, in order to install one of his handpicked fellow fascists to enact unpopular and harmful policies.

Which then allow him to do things like this:

If you can, attend the meetings on Tuesday to record your opposition--and check your #VoterRegistration and #Vote in November and every election thereafter.

I also want to note how #Politico slants their reporting here: the issue is not what role parents have in shaping their children's education. The issue is *which* parents have been given authority to dictate how other parents educate *their own children*.

Reporting is not neutral when it erases context in favor of the #Christofascists

So, again: check your #VoterRegistration then #Vote

#COVID19 is still here; many people are left with #LongCOVID symptoms of varying severity, from fatigue to brain fog. #BigPharma have little motivation to do anything about it, so our only recourse is to #Vote, elect Democrats, and then bully them into doing the right thing for the country rather than corporations.

Bonus: this strategy works for anything and everything you care about.

Magic words to use if/when encountering difficulties when voting.

Between now and then, though, check your voter registration; make sure you can exercise your right.

Remember: If you are turned away at the polls, your verbatim response is: "Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt as required by law."

Tell those around you in line to vote.

Also, if the polls close and you're in line, DO NOT LEAVE.

Polling stations are required to allow all voters in line at closing to vote.

Stand your ground and get your vote in. This is the law of the land across all jurisdictions.

DO NOT GET OUT OF LINE
