#CISA’s crucial work defends against foreign malign influence in US elections. Weakening this agency does nothing to protect Americans’ free speech or national security. It will only make it easier for foreign governments to disrupt and undermine our #elections in the future.

The Washington Post obtained details about a $45 million plan run by Elon Musk's advisors to target Black, Jewish, Muslim voters and others with "misdirection" ads - often containing falsehoods about her positions washingtonpost.com/politics/…

By my count, 22 states are still doing their initial count of votes, although some are closer to being done than others. (e.g., CA is 86% done; RI is 98% done). Until then, treat turnout analyses carefully.

2024 Democrats are the red dot.
Absolutely critical context to any postmortem.

A viral Instagram video purports to show a “ballot mule” in Lincoln, Nebraska. Todd Wiltgen, the election commissioner of Lancaster County, where the video was taken, said the video shows a first-time voter dropping off a ballot, not a “ballot mule.” politifact.com/factchecks/20…

N. AZ - Coconino County's elections director just called me.
They are seeing some pretty widespread confusion among voters who have been told they can vote a federal-only ballot in-person in Coconino, even when they are registered in a different county.
That's not true.

HAPPENING NOW: A federal judge in Georgia has thrown out the RNC's claim that Georgia counties broke the law by accepting absentee ballots over the weekend.
The judge says their complaint lacked a "basic level of statutory review and reading comprehension." Details TK

All voters: Nobody is calling you today and asking for your date of birth or driver’s license # or other personal information in order to process your ballot. We have gotten reports of these sorts of calls and want to warn you not to give out your personal information! 1/

In addition to your assigned precinct polling place, you may vote at ANY of 51 vote centers (50 Ward sites + Supersite) between 6:00am to 7:00pm today to cast your ballot - for more info, go to: chicagoelections.gov/voting/… 🗳️

If you vote today thank the election workers. Often your interaction will be with a volunteer at a polling place who may be paid a pittance. Their service means we can have a democracy

Wisconsin: Why does absentee ballot processing take so long? Here is a handy dandy example explanation of the process courtesy of Milwaukee election commission.

This report is incorrect and not supported at all by the facts. Non-citizens are not eligible to vote in Philadelphia. A mail ballot provided by our office can only be counted after the voter verifies their ID, typically with a social security number or driver’s license number.

Key outcomes tomorrow:

If you're an eligible voter and you haven't voted yet, VOTE TODAY. Go to vote.gov to find your local election website and where to vote. If you have a mail ballot you haven't returned yet, do NOT put it in the mail! Return it to an election office or drop box, or bring it to your voting site and surrender your ballot and vote in person!

Whatever happens this week, don’t be a jerk to your local poll workers and election officials. They have put their personal lives on hold to work insanely long hours to ensure YOUR voice is heard through ballot box.
Be kind. Let your voice be heard & vote!

🗳️Good Morning! Thanks to the incredible work of election officials across our nation, our election infrastructure has never been more secure. Whoever you vote for, you can have confidence that your vote will be counted as cast. #Protect2024

Today, hundreds of thousands of election workers and millions of volunteers will be working a very long day to ensure that every American citizen has a voice in who governs them. Join me in thanking them for their service. No election is perfect, but they do a great job ensuring our elections are secure, your vote will be safe and convenient, and your vote will matter. Even if it's close, we will know who accurately won, thanks to our election workers!

Important joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA Statement within the last hour:
“Since our statement on Friday, the IC has been observing foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans. The IC expects these activities will intensify through election day and in the coming weeks, and that foreign influence narratives will focus on swing states.
Russia is the most active threat.“
