@realpeteyb123 It’s not wrong to offer individual contact information to someone whose individual (not work) communication would be welcome, but clearly she didn’t read the room.

“If you’re single, this is my information” but only if non-verbal communication supports that approach.

1/

@realpeteyb123 “May I offer you my phone number?”

In both of the above, it would be on paper.

The conversation retains some distance or ‘deniability.’

If the paper is accepted, that’s it.

The ball is in the recipient’s court and no follow-up, please.

The recipient can toss it.

@realpeteyb123 3/

Even better is an indirect approach, but probably not practical in this circumstance.

The problem here is that there’s no deniability and it’s creeping you out.

Even if she began, “If you’re single,” texting your phone without permission violates your privacy and space.

@billybinion Understood.

These people are far better off in their BIPOC-led sovereign independent home countries, than listening to cartel con artists peddling false hopes.

Legal immigration is difficult enough.

Save them a horrible experience: Stat home.

Don’t encourage risky behavior.

@billybinion America cannot, and does not, welcome everyone in the world who wants to live here.

That’s reality.

Be honest that, for every undocumented foreign national America welcomes today, more are inspired or convinced to undertake the dangerous journey tomorrow.

@billybinion Then they are trafficked and exploited in our country to pay the criminal human traffickers who guided them across our border.

It’s a horrible experience for anyone, but it starts with the Biden Administration incentivizing irregular entries by welcoming them.

Reality.

@RepMaryFranson This is actually a good sign.

The most effective advocacy organizations are in inexpensive rented space, which tells everyone that it can all disappear without notice.

Their own building becomes its own activity, sucking energy and attention from its mission.

@RepMaryFranson Look at Transafrica.

@sdonelan @MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X @MNSteveSimon Yes, in a free country, there will always be anomalous situations.

The real question is whether relevant government authorities want to try to promote public confidence in elections by devoting some level of resources to maintaining a quality database.

1/

@sdonelan @MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X @MNSteveSimon Specific examples can help to illuminate potential policy or procedural issues, above and beyond the example itself.

The technical discussions here can be helpful in this regard, but what would not help promote public confidence is an high-level attitude of indifference.

2/

@sdonelan @MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X @MNSteveSimon I thank @billglahn for identifying specific examples of anomalous situations so that responsible officials can continue to improve their processes and procedures.

I think human factors will remain relevant.

Thank you again, and best wishes.

@MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X Thank you very much for this excellent historical information.

To answer your question re demographics and politics being the opposite, this concerns whether current legacy media would even bother to assign the story.

1/

@MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X You are quite correct that the Legislature should take a look at this.

Given substantial progress in database management and technology since 1983, it may very well be the case that it would make sense to ask these voters to provide date of birth.

2/

@MaxHailperin @MN_SportsNut @billglahn @MNSecofState @X I greatly appreciate your encyclopedic historical and technical knowledge which helps to explain why things are as they are.

What is still needed is leadership, including by @MNSecofState @MNSteveSimon, to want to fix decades-old situations that only embarrass the state.
