Thanks to Gov. Kemp's new Jim Crow law, #SB202, #Warnock’s mail-in vote this year fell off a cliff to 164,282—a drop of 73%. While the Republican absentee vote also fell, the drop resulting from the new law mainly punished Warnock gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot… #Georgia #Runoff #gapol
Among the provisions of #SB202 that cut into the mail-in vote: Dropboxes were all but banned in urban (ie Black) counties. Specifically, counties aren't allowed to provide more than 1 dropbox per 100,000 population—reducing the dropboxes in the Atlanta area from 107 to 25!
The decline in mail-in balloting, especially those returned to dropboxes, has a distinct racial tinge. Georgia’s biggest counties by population, Fulton and Cobb — both majority non-white — saw mail-in balloting dive from 259,000 to just 43,000. gregpalast.com/mail-in-ballot…

#ElectionDay came and went with most disappointed the highly anticipated #RedWave didn’t leave Florida. But, with key races from #Midterms still being tabulated, all eyes are on to see who will prevail.

However, most have missed important concession speeches these last few days.
On the night of November 8th, some Republican candidates conceded pretty early. A few without any official results called from any major media outlets.

In this thread, I’m going to expose these RINOs for not even trying to contest the count well before the state cert deadlines.
Let’s start with the state where I live and saw the concession first hand, Colorado.

In District 8, @Kirkmeyer4CO (one tough woman endorsed by our local police/first responders) ran against @YadiraCaraveo (Latina daughter of immigrants endorsed by @PPFA and Dems from across CO)

Alright, I promised a thread, didn’t I?

The #Midterms2022 didn’t go as we expected because they had to cheat us out of a Red Wave and I can prove it.

PS: @elonmusk, if your algorithm bands me during this, I’ll never forgive you.
Let’s start with Michigan. Voters came out in sweeping numbers. So much so that they felt threatened enough to ballot dump more than once in the race between Tom Barrett and Elissa Slotkin

It is fashionable in some lefty circles to dismiss the idea that democracy is under threat when we are already living in an oligarchy. But “limited democracy” vs “autocracy/fascism” is a distinction worth taking seriously. #Midterm2022
Saying “democracy is on the ballot” sounds like a Democratic talking point. But it is a FACT that on a structural level, one side (not “the duopoly”) seeks to use institutions under its control to impose minority rule and Orban-style illiberal democracy.
The SCOTUS’s six right-wing justices were appointed by GOP presidents who lost the popular vote in all but one election since 2000, yet they unilaterally stripped voting rights and reproductive rights away from millions and declared money “speech.”

“To this end—specifically, increased control of society’s mechanisms by the Right even as it goes against public opinion—the stealing by Republicans of 3 more seats on the Supreme Court & the overturning of Roe V. Wade come to mind.”

“The reversal of Roe V. Wade is instructive on many levels. Amy Coney Barret’s seat was stolen by rushing through her nomination process just prior to the 2020 election; it was the seat held by Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”

Russische Raketen- und Drohnenangriffe gehen quer durch die Ukraine weiter.
In den letzten Tagen meldeten verschiedene Regionen, darunter Zaporizhya, Dnipro, Kiew, Mykolaev etc Einschläge auf die "kritische Infrastruktur", insb. das Strom- und Eisenbahnsystem.
(2/23)
Unkontrollierbare Spannungsstöße sollen erstmals auch dazu geführt haben, dass Umspannwerke nicht durch Raketen, sondern durch Überlastung in Flammen aufgehen.
Auf einem Video aus Dnipro sagt der Filmende "F**k, der Transformator brennt. Wegen Überlastung".

🪡 MAGA extremists now openly flaunt support for Putin’s Dictatorship currently murdering, raping in illegally occupied and annexed parts of Ukraine.

Truly the #Midterm2022 election is a fight to save US democracy.

2 🪡 Trump’s love of Dictators was signalled quite early on, in his fan mail to Vladimir Putin in December 2007.

At the time Putin was brutally suppressing protests for freedom led by @Kasparov63 in Moscow.

3 🪡 Over the years this love of the Russian Dictatorship has led to Trump applauding Putin’s poll ratings & ‘genius’

Poll ratings in a Dictatorship, as we all know, are not a true and realistic reflection of reality.
