Mary Kay Heling is one of 200,000+ North Carolinians at risk of being purged from the voter rolls, despite doing everything right. As some leaders from the White House to state houses make wild claims about voter registration, it's real people whose rights they're taking away

Last week, All Voting is Local Florida joined partners and community advocates for a night of food, music, and joyful solidarity in Orlando to mark the 60th anniversary of the #VotingRightsAct.

Thank you to everyone who showed up to fight for every voter's access to the ballot🗳️

Why the Justice Department’s requests for voter rolls should raise alarm The government is obligated by law to explain how it plans to use the information it collects. But the Trump administration hasn’t provided many details.

"Once the govt. crosses the line into sweeping, unexplained grabs for voter data and more, it’s hard to walk it back. If states cave to these requests without demanding a clear legal foundation, they are inviting future administrations to make more such requests." www.votebeat.org/2025/08/11/j...

This is fascism 101

Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony.

Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.

Badger Books will help Madison's elections run smoothly | Samuel Liebert The Madison Clerk’s Office deserves credit for successfully testing Badger Books — Wisconsin’s electronic poll book system — during the June 17 special election.

Admittedly, cities in Wisconsin adopting electronic pollbooks may not be the most exciting thing you've heard this week but it's critical to making elections more accessible & fair. Read more from my @allvotingislocal.bsky.social colleague @samliebert.bsky.social madison.com/opinion/lett...

2.977 people died on 9/11.
The daily quote for ICE is 3000.
I think putting it in terms like that puts it into perspective.
They want one 9/11 every day.

Heartbroken by the political violence in Minnesota. This is not normal—and we can’t allow it to become so. Disagreement is part of democracy, but violence can never be. We must choose compassion over hate. Always.

Trump’s executive order on elections is partly blocked The president had asserted authority to regulate voting that the Constitution grants explicitly to Congress and the states. Said the court: “Executive regulatory authority over federal elections does ...

A federal judge has blocked Trump's executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. The court affirmed that only Congress and the states—not the President—have the authority to regulate federal elections.

Federal judge dismisses Brown County women’s lawsuit over voter portal The judge said the plaintiffs failed to show any injury that would give them standing to sue.

A win for voters and common sense. A federal judge tossed the baseless lawsuit attacking Wisconsin’s MyVote portal. The system works—and so does our democracy. #MyVoteWI #ProtectTheVote

JCRAR co-chair knocks Elections Commission for not getting more lawmaker input on observer rules Rep. Adam Neylon criticized the Wisconsin Elections Commission for not engaging with lawmakers more on a proposed rule laying out standards for election observers, calling it “insulting.”

The WI Elections Commission’s observer rules were supported bipartisanly — they protect voters and ensure transparency.

JCRAR should approve these commonsense rules.

Support fair, orderly elections.

Wisconsin election meeting erupts as chair silences commissioner over ballot shortage Republican commissioner's attempt to address Milwaukee ballot shortages sparks confrontation with Democratic chair, reviving past tensions over meeting conduct.

Once again, Bob Spindell has shown his true colors and why he is completely unfit to serve on WEC. This is the same man who bragged about lower black/brown turnout in the 2022 midterms, and now, all of a sudden, cares about ballots in Milwaukee? #FireBob

Madison clerk resigns after being placed on leave over uncounted ballots The nearly 200 absentee ballots that went uncounted in November 2024 would not have changed the outcome of any race or referendum. But bipartisan members of the Wisconsin Elections Commison have been ...

Honored to stand w/ Reps.
@air152.bsky.social & Lee Snodgrass outside the Brown Co Courthouse in Green Bay today.

We deserve elections built on trust — not bribery or intimidation.

This bill protects WI voters from being pressured or paid to sign (or not sign) petitions.

Longer video coming soon. Heading back out to go inspire and get in good trouble. 🫶🏽✌🏽

Hold strong brother. You’re obviously on the right side of history. Keep up the message.

I still can’t get over how shitty Kanye’s swastika T-shirts were. I washed mine ONCE and it shrunk two sizes. This country is going down the tubes.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
