"I think what we're finding is that the presence of those ballot initiatives actually gave some subset of women voters a permission structure that allowed them to go into the ballot booth and vote their interests on securing abortion rights and then pivot..." - @ProfMMurray

Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY.
Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.

Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

Worth repeating: The Florida amendment is sitting at 57% approval, which is enough to pass in any other state. It only failed because of the threshold.
Florida’s abortion rights ballot measure, Amendment 4, will NOT pass, @DecisionDeskHQ projects. It needed 60% to pass. Abortion in FL will remain banned after 6 weeks.

A record voter turnout has turned into a celebrity hotspot during the 5+ hour wait to vote outside of the Banana Factory.
Wanda Sykes, famous comedian and actress, also visited Lehigh students during the wait, and offered her gratitude and photo-ops for nearly every student.

A. So, the Edison National Exit Polls have been released, and among Black voters, there's stasis. Harris is currently at 87% & Trump at 12%, same as in 2020. When we look at race*gender, Black men moved 1 pt toward Trump, and Black women 2 pts toward Harris. #electionday2024

Paul Rudd showing up at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to bring students water while they were getting ready to vote made me so happy!
