Five Ways Tuesday’s Results Will Affect Voting Rules and Democracy - Bolts From felony disenfranchisement and mail-voting to mid-decade gerrymanders, Tuesday delivered verdicts on election law across these five states.

Virginia's Senate Majority Leader confirms to Bolts that Virginia Democrats intend to move the constitutional amendment that'd allow for a mid-decade gerrymander in January.

Says it is “going to be one of the first orders of business."

Lots of confusion around the release of SNAP benefits! A handful of blue states, including Oregon, Illinois, Michigan & California are using state funds to send out partial payments. The federal government is appealing the judges ruling that said they had to release federal funds by today.

The AP has called it for Jay Jones in Virginia, so Democrats have ousted the GOP attorney general of Virginia.

It's not looking particularly close either, he's up 5% with 91% reporting.

A big result: Maine voters have rejected the conservative ballot measure that'd have restricted ballot access.

The measure was going to impose voter ID, and restrict mail voting significantly.

It lost easily, a year before the crucial midterms there.

CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.*

The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

Turnout in NY is the biggest it's been since 1969!!! 😱😱😱

Let's go #ZohranMamdani

All three Pennsylvania Supreme Court seats have been retained. Had any two of them lost, Trump would have have been able to upset the majority and run havoc on elections. The same court that prevented false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and allowed certification of election results.

Obama calls Mamdani, praises campaign ahead of New York mayoral election Former Democratic President Barack Obama called New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani Saturday and offered to be a “sounding board” if the 34-year-old frontrunner wins the election. He also praised Mamdani's campaign.

This is huge. Obama is an establishment dem. Zohran has talked a lot about moving past endorsements as a make or break but this could be a turning point in public perception of dem socialists 🤯

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

All we want is healthcare.

Whenever law enforcement agents are given a quota of a specific number of people to arrest or detain, especially with the WH policy director screaming at their superiors to hit those target numbers, bad things are going to happen. Quotas always result in civil rights violations.

Big point that is being missed: without the insurrection act, the activated Guard troops are now federal army and cannot
Do law enforcement.

A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.

“I voted for Donald Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa Cowart, a friend of Ms. Hui from church. “But no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here in droves.”
