It’s Election Night, and we’re tracking over 6,600 elections in Arkansas, North Carolina, and Texas.

Follow all the results on Votes throughout the night as we track both Texas Senate primaries as well as federal, statewide, and local contests.

What is wild about this change is that voters could vote at a vote center during early voting, but precinct based was available on Election Day. How can voters *not* be confused!
I hope turning voters away came with "here is your correct polling place," and these folks got to vote.

More of this, please:

"All Utahns should be offended by efforts to make voting more difficult, implying that we are a state of ballot-box stuffers."

Hearing from students about their successes inside and outside of the classroom. Being there to witness my kids' milestones.

If the SAVE Act passes, I expect Americans will have a "being processed" status for their passport applications all the way to after election day. Perhaps intentionally, but also because it will administratively be very hard to process millions of applications in a short amount of time.

How sweet! I know you could have paraphrased this. Thank you and it is an honor to be named in your scholarship.

I expect a signed copy mailed to my home :) so excited to read this!

"Our commitment is to long-term, methodologically sound research on issues and conditions that shape people’s lives,” a spokesperson for the agency said.

So presidential approval is not an issue that shapes people's lives? How disappointing.

So honored to be part of this cohort. I look forward to work with everyone and support democracy in any way I can.

"Roughly 20 percent of Buchanan County residents have no teeth at all."
Having to go to public gyms to get free dental work by volunteer doctors should not be happening in the richest country on earth. It's not a partisan issue, it's a matter of human dignity.

@datarescueproject.org do we have these signs archived?

This is very very cool, although not scientific at all (in the controlled setting sense).

This is why we have @datarescueproject.org !

When a certain influential figure on the right was killed, we heard a lot about respecting their dignity. Clearly digitty applies only on one side.

Imagine teaching this 10-20 years from now when covering US Government.

During the first Trump term we had functional media who would challenge him and his administration -- we just don't have those this time.

I started (re)watching American Dad with my high schooler. It's chilling how relevant the first season is to what is happening now.

The actual reporting is not as shitty as the title. Such bad titles have a negative impact on a journalist's credibility, even if they may not have had full control of the title.
Interesting that neither reporters have an account on bluesky (at least I couldn't find their names).

100% agree. It is heartbreaking that some among the public think this is ok. The elites are corrupt and want re-election, so it may not be surprising. But the public, that hurts a lot.

It's not a Rep vs Dem thing any more. It's really a right vs wrong. Vote out anyone who is not standing up for what's right.

If Citizens United was not the law of campaign finance, Congressional Republicans would 100% be reigning in the president. We focus only on how extreme one individual is but we don't blame enough the inaction of the legislative branch.

It is so unjust to prosecute these individuals when clearly the state failed to educate them about their rights.
It's even more unjust to deny them a major constitutional right.

That's me! Take a look.

Ha, that's the real constituency casework right there.

The president is not even bothering coordinating with the GOP in Congress. I wonder what talking points these candidates will use to run for re-election, since they are neither doing policy making nor advising and consenting.

I won't forget.

Doesn't seem like these words exist in the Dem leadership's vocab.

He's never interacted with a parent (or a functional human being of any sort) so he thinks those facilities are like puppy daycares.

I "like" how we claim to be inclusive and pro-science and then we make fun of mask wearers. Ableist as shit and totally hypocritical.
