🚨 ALERT: We have received multiple reports from voters who voted straight-ticket, then saw on a later screen that their votes were changed to that of the opposite party. You must check your ballot before casting to ensure it’s correct, and you can ask a poll worker for help.
As a @TXsecofstate advisory explains, the issue arises because of the confusing and antiquated way the voting machine operates—not a conspiracy to change votes. More details here: sos.state.tx.us/elections/laws…
The eHart voting machines were brought into use at the turn of the century. Texas is in desperate need to modernize our election systems. In the meantime:
- Check your ballot
- Ask a poll worker for help
- Call us at 866-OUR-VOTE if you have questions

🚨ALERT: @TarrantCountyTX’s voters, did you receive a letter from the county saying your voter registration was incomplete? Unfortunately, the county sent out incorrect information in a mailer. If you received the notice below, you can complete your information in person & vote!
The letter from @TarrantCountyTX incorrectly states that if you update your information within 10 days, your registration will be effective 30 days later. This is wrong. If you update within 10 days, your registration will be effective as of the date you originally sent it.
🚨 NOTE: If you sent your registration before the Oct. 9th deadline, you can still vote if you update your information!

#Alert The recent arrest of Ogbonna Orji, son of Sen. Theodore Orji, over money laundering, has absolutely nothing to do with son of ex-VP Atiku Abubakar.
The former Abia governor has been under investigations by the EFCC, for money laundering activities, which was discovered to have been carried out through his sons.
The EFCC had been on the trail of cars allegedly bought by the sons, and last Friday the cars were traced to a night club in Abuja, where operatives waited patiently through the night to arrest the owners - Ogbonna and his friend, Kelvin Ilonah.

I talked to a guy yesterday who voted for Beto on the first day of early voting. He’s voted straight ticket democrat in Texas for 40 years, and he said “it just drives me crazy when people don’t vote. That’s how we got in this mess.”
And I told him sure, but after a few weeks in mostly low-income neighborhoods around Dallas, I’ll never complain about people not voting again. Because that assumes people don’t vote out of laziness. Or apathy.

And that could not be more innacurate.
People don’t vote in America, because we’ve allowed America to become a country without a voting culture. Voting is not for everyone. Voting is not who we are.

Voter suppression is often incremental, but the results are immediate, and passed down to future generations.

1) A friend on FB sent this post to me. It's rather lengthy but I think it's indicative of many over the country. Please note that he is from liberal Washington State.
2) I was going to wait until I could do my own slick video but this Kavanaugh nonsense has just gone too far and I need to plant my flag. I live in a very blue part of Washington state. I am a business owner, and I have a PhD in the hard sciences.
3) I am an atheist, pro-choice, pro-marriage equality, pro-cannabis. It seems the only things I have going against me is that I’m straight and white. I voted straight ticket D in every election from 1978 until 2014.

ICYMI:
Judge Drain DENIES emergency motion to prevent voters from casting straight-ticket ballots
“aggravate these troubling voting conditions..causing irreparable injury...African-Americans disproportionately bear all of these consequences.. Plaintiffs had met their burden..”
Open Source Link, denying the Michigan SOS “emergency motion for stay pending appeal”
Found here...
Statistically & Demographically speaking this would disproportionately effect African-American voters & Ds.
