In my view, this is the best data.

The VEP/VAP difference is key.

Also lots of turnout figures are out of registered rather than VAP.

The biggest story you haven't heard about:

Right after Anna Wolfe won a Pulitzer Prize for exposing how many millions in federal welfare funds for Mississippi went to athletes like Brett Favre, cronies and pet projects, she and her newspaper Mississippi Today are facing a defamation lawsuit from the state’s former governor, Phil Bryant, and prison time if they don't end their careers by revealing sources.

No prosecutions for those who stole the taxpayers funds.

The reason so many #fascist adjacent #US #Republicans are so pro-#Israel and yet so #antisemitic is that for them #Israel is a legitimate #power and #authority that is punishing The Other (#Muslims, #Arabs, #Palestinians) and that is natural and good.

But #Jews, as non-Christians, are a dangerous fifth column working against the natural and just Christian order. So they are #TheOther. 🤦🏼

You're so great. I learn tons from you. Keep doing what you're doing.

#DeSantis is out. Endorsed #Trump so must have been offered Attorney General. #Yuk

Funny story about him. After law school he worked at Fullbright & Jaworski for a bit with other recent grads. He was the best; smartest, highest throughput, etc. But they didn't offer him a job. Because nobody could stand him.
