The states voting tomorrow have fucked this up so badly that none of it is legitimate.
The only way to do this legitimately was to have everyone vote by mail. Now each state has their own guidelines and are operating without a clear plan. Thousands disenfranchised, elections postponed, overruling judge's orders, etc.
Old people are probably going to stay home in huge numbers for their own safety. Numerous reports of polling places not ready at all in terms of sanitization.
Arizona has closed a massive amount of polling places, making it impossible for people to congregate in numbers < 10. Thousands won't be able to vote.

I do not trust Donald Trump with $500,000,000 of our money.
I forgot three zeros. I still don’t trust Donald Trump with $500,000,000,000

Remember today when Trump kept talking about some random woman who was being tortured by an unknown group until the US rescued her without offering any details? What the hell was that?
It was really unsettling and he spoke about it more than once in really vague terms, thanking the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs for the mission (?)
Some answers!

It’s my sincere belief that Fox News is one of the most destructive forces in the country.
What other entity inspires terrorism (the mail pipe bomber, El Paso shooter, Quebec shooter, etc) while simultaneously promoting a viewpoint that is largely devoid of reality?
We have to get back to a place where everyone operates on the same underlying set of facts. Fox News appears to be the biggest roadblock.

THREAD: Tuesday's presidential primary election is 100% still happening. Here's what you need to know about voting in the age of coronavirus! @LUCHA_AZ @ChispaAZ @case_az @AZadvocacy @AllVotingAZ @IndivisibleofAZ
@LUCHA_AZ @ChispaAZ @case_az @AZadvocacy @AllVotingAZ @IndivisibleofAZ 1) Live in Maricopa County? The bad news: 80 polling places have been shut. The great news: You can now vote at ANY polling place in the county. Go to onearizona.org/vote to find one convenient for you.
@LUCHA_AZ @ChispaAZ @case_az @AZadvocacy @AllVotingAZ @IndivisibleofAZ 2) Live outside of Maricopa County? For the most part, your polling place has not changed. Yuma closed one polling place (the health department, for obvious reasons). Apache County moved a few. Go to onearizona.org/vote to find where to vote

We should expect to see more talking head recommendations for how to alter the #voting process to address #coronavirus concerns. Voting by mail is going be a part of the solution.

Here's why I don't think it can be the whole solution for the #2020election

THREAD:
States should move to allow more voting by mail independent of recent developments. The @BPC_Bipartisan Task Force on #Elections recommends just that. We support moves by our friends at @voteathome to ensure all Americans have the option to vote by mail

bipartisanpolicy.org/report/logical…
That doesn't mean all states have taken the important steps to update laws and technology to administer an #election with a very high % of #voting by mail, and it's unlikely many can get up to speed before the #2020election. Many state legislatures have already adjourned

I know it's kinda weird to want more political stories in star wars after the prequels showed how bad an idea that was
but I kinda want to see how the average person & the news reacted to the first parts of A New Hope
cause like within the first 20 minutes of the film over like, 1-3 days, the empire dissolves the senate and then blows up one of their own planets
it'd be like a week where on Monday the president says "we got rid of congress, now each state governor controls their state directly, and they answer only to me"

Voting is a States Rights issue and responsibility as dictated in the Constitution. Go ask the ERA folks about how easy it is to pass an amendment. The focus needs to be on each state doing it in a model of one that is now working, ironically enough in Florida.
What we are seeing now is a new manufactured way to cheat since the ID and voter roll tracking is being cleaned up. No longer does each precinct get a printed listing for ballot issued checkoffs that also includes those who requested absentee that was not returned.
There are only a few ID's acceptable to receive a ballot and it is all tied to a common database at the SoE office for registrations in that county. Florida is also culling out people who are registered in other states. Pick one or lose this one. The problem is other states . . .

This is a good article, talking about problems that we have to, that the GOP won't and that we CAN fix! But first, just #Vote damnit!

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter
nyti.ms/2CvoRaT
2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to
3/"vote, and one of the root causes of low turnout is this country’s framework of restrictive voting laws. The United States is unique in allowing state laws to largely govern voting in federal elections. Ever since key federal protections were dismantled by the Supreme Court in

Let’s add a little context to the discussion of voting security in the US. To do that, I’m going to do something Computer Scientists are bad at - I’m going to talk about history. Specifically, let’s look at the Help America #Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. 1/
The reason to talk about HAVA is to start recognizing some of the challenges of paper ballot-based voting. HAVA came about largely because paper ballots were proving to be extremely difficult to manage. 2/
For instance, paper ballots are expensive (they’re not printed on standard college-rule paper), and they’re not reusable across elections. You’ve also got to try and guess who is going to show up to the poll, and how many ballots you’ll need in each language. 3/
