Starting now: a discussion of how ballots will be counted, what steps are being taken to make sure all votes are counted. Dr. Shirley Weber, Cal. Sec. of State, Derek Tisler of the Brennan Center are here. fb.watch/gB38Zx_vt8/ @derektisler @BrennanCenter @CASOSVote
Some voters are going to face challenges because of more requirements to prove identity, esp. in Georgia and Texas, says @derektisler #2022Vote #midterms #YourVoteCounts
States typically require two bi-partisan people to check ballots. It is slow. @derektisler
1/ 🗳🗳History shows the 15th Amendment in 1870 gave Blacks the right to vote, but it was not until 1966 that all barriers were removed allowing them to vote freely.
2/ Blacks always understood 🗳as one of the basics of citizenship, and often used creative ways to reinforce the importance of voting. Historic Springfield Baptist Church, founded in 1787, used a “church repair” fundraiser to amplify the concept of 🗳. 
3/ SBC held a mock election in
1944 assigning each member to a political party and a state. My uncle Andrew Bell was assigned Pennsylvania. His name is at the top of the last column. He canvassed the community for votes and funds.

A small thread on voting in this weekend's Australian (or earlier, if you haven't already voted) election.
It leverages the clean & clear graphics of the @AusElectoralCom and the less clean 😉humor of @thejuicemedia
Yay preferential voting system!

#ALifeOfSacrifice Since Independence, Zimbabwean parents have worked hard to invest in the education of their children. Some opened accounts with the likes of Beverly Building Society for years only to see value wiped away in a matter of days by Zanu's collapse of the economy
#ALifeOfSacrifice Those who managed to make it & graduate, could not find any jobs because ZanuPF's ruinous policies destroyed the economy. Families were forced to sacrifice quality family time & send their children off overseas. But first they had to sacrifice to find airfares
#ALifeOfSacrifice Those who made it to the diaspora are still sacrificing to bring family over or send money home to help those left behind at the mercy of a predatory elite that is looting the country dry at Olympic proportions. Cynically, diaspora is not allowed to vote
