Trump DOJ’s voter rolls grab has unearthed a tiny number of illegitimate votes Dozens of illegitimate votes may seem significant. But 50 illegitimate votes would amount to just 0.000007 percent of the roughly 680 million votes cast in the last five national elections.

NEW: After accessing nearly half of the states’ full voter rolls, the DOJ's Harmeet Dhillon said it's only found “dozens” of instances of noncitizen voting.

Though seemingly significant, 50 illegitimate votes would amount to ~0.000007% of roughly 680 million votes cast in the last five elections.

Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.

Colorado governor signals he may free election denier Tina Peters Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold previously told Democracy Docket that Governor Jared Polis should not pardon Tina Peters.

NEW: Colorado’s governor signaled he may grant clemency to Tina Peters, a prominent election denier currently serving a nine-year state prison sentence for her role in a 2021 voting system breach.

Peters has become a focal point among Trump and far-right allies who’ve called for her freedom.

these games — at least the ones I play, not into online multiplayer ones (tho no disrespect to those who are, just not my bag) — are more like interactive movies.

upgrade to a Switch 2, if you've already got a Switch! it's out on Switch 2 and that console can now run a lot of the AAA games that the Switch couldn't handle.
