Twice in five elections, historically-disastrous Republicans won with fewer votes, and a surge in Green Party votes made the difference
The story of this election is the media coverage letting voters continue to believe a booming economy was poor because of a temporary spike in inflation
Has a single national Republican gone on TV to demand Russia stop making bomb threats at polling places in Democratic districts?
Because that seems like it should be a story...
Neither Trump, Vance, or any member of the national GOP leadership has gone on TV today to demand Russia stop making bomb threats to voting places in Democratic districts
The media should care about this
Tomorrow we need to have a national discussion about Russia attacking American elections with the purpose of helping Trump win
And people like @mittromney and @lisamurkowski don't get to sit it out.
The DeSantis political project was to turn Florida back into the Deep South, Confederate and Jim Crow state it was for most of its history, and use that to launch a presidential campaign
The first part was a success.
Replying to @KnowlesHannah
Florida rejects an abortion rights ballot measure that would have overriden the state's 6-week ban. Live coverage: washingtonpost.com/elections…
There needs to be some response for the fact Russia is making bomb threats to help Trump win
County election offices across Pennsylvania are receiving bomb threats tonight — and it’s forcing officials to take ballots off-site to count. Expect major delays in Election Day results.
Behind it? Russian agents trying to sow chaos in our elections. inquirer.com/politics/electi…
And the fact #JDVance said America should be neutral between democratic Ukraine and the Russian dictatorship that has been helping Republicans in elections for a decade now should result in more than a shrug from our media and law enforcement
"Just another way Russia is trying to help Trump, who promises friendship with Russia..."
The way Trump was able to scare our entire media away from covering the help he gets from Russia with a Bill Barr summary and saying "Russia, Russia, Russia," is genuinely amazing

The fact that we just accept that one party doesn't need to win more votes, but only needs to squeak out a victory in the right few places while the other needs to win by 4% points, is what is a stain on America
If all Americans votes counted the same, Trump would never win

We are absolutely going to need something besides signatures as identity verification from now on
Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:
“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

This should be prosecuted as voter suppression
Trump is trying to scare black people away from the polls in Detroit and Philadelphia
From CNN’s @MarshallCohen and @YahyaGhazala: Detroit mayor’s office says they don’t know what Trump is talking about; spokesman for Detroit elections department says, “We are unaware of any police presence in the city for elections beyond what was outlined in a press conference last Thursday and widely reported nationally.”
This is @DrPhil covering, but the it is truly amazing how many rich men really seem to think, "I joined up with the fascists because the Democrats didn't invite me places," is a defensible position
Exit polls are useless and should genuinely be stopped by media
Not only are they wrong on the day, which is dangerous in our current environment, they create false narratives that can last for years after voter file information tells us what really happened
OMG. 42% of Hispanic voters would be an all-time high for the @GOP in a Presidential election. 🤯
"I became a Nazi because Democrats didn't invite me places," is a surprisingly common sentiment among rich white men...
Remember that #JDVance said America should be neutral between democratic Ukraine and the authoritarian Russia trying to disrupt our elections today
Of course, it's because he knows Russia is trying to disrupt our elections in his favor
