I voted today! Here's my sticker to prove it.

It wasn't easy. Before walking to vote, I checked the county clerk's website to make sure that our polling place hadn't changed. They listed the usual location, but when we got there, it was closed & locked. I think they couldn't find enough judges, & they hadn't updated the website. We called the public #library, & they said we could vote there, so we did.

I hope that the bad info didn't suppress the vote.

A circular white sticker that says “I voted” at the top and capital letters with three red stars above it. In the middle it says “I voted” in seven different languages. Beneath that are illustrations of voters of all colors.

Heather Cox Richardson Musk’s Attemps to buy the Wisconsin Election Musk 3/31/25

Heather Cox Richardson Musk’s Attempts to buy the Wisconsin Election Musk 3/31/25 On Sunday, Musk gave away two checks for $1 million each to individuals who attended his rally for Schimel and signed a petition against “activist judges”. Musk got around the Wisconsin law against exchanging an item of value to get someone to vote or not to vote by claiming the checks were for “spokesperson agreements.” But the video recorded by one of the recipients linked her vote to Musk’s check, saying, "l did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now | have a million dollars.” The other check for a million dollars went to the chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans, who has worked for Republican campdigns. “Let me talk for a minute or two about my opponent, Elon Musk,” [Judge] Crawford told supporters on Monday. She announced her candidacy for the race before Trump was elected, and according to Scott Bauer of the Associated Press, she said she never imagined she would be fighting against “the richest man in the world.” Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler said he thought “people do not want to see Elon Musk buying election after election after election. If it works here, he's going to do it all over the country.”

Heather Cox Richardson Wisconsin/Florida Elections Gerrymandering Musk 3/31/25

Heather Cox Richardson Wisconsin/Florida Elections Tomorrow, voters will have a chance to weigh in on the government when elections take place in two Florida districts to fill seats vacated by the resignations of Mike Waltz, national security advisor, & Matt Gaetz. Wisconsin, will hold an election, for a 10 yr term on the state supreme court. That position will likely determine whether Wisconsin's congressiondl maps remdin gerrymandered in favor of Republicans, permitting them to pick up more seats than they have earned. Such skewing has made it possible for Republicans to retain control of the House of Representatives, and candidate Susan Crawford is likely to vote in favor of fair maps to replace the gerrymandered ones. While it is supposed to be a nonpartisan election, Trump has thrown his weight behind candidate Brad Schimel. Billionaire Musk has thrown his checkbook, putting almost $20 million behind Schimel. On Sun Musk traveled to Wisconsin, where he said the election could determine “the future of America and Western Civilization,” warning that a court with Crawford on it would redraw the gerrymandered districts and “add seats for Democrats.” On Sun, Musk gave away two checks for $1 million each to individuals who attended his rally for Schimel & signed a petition against “activist judges”. Musk got around the Wisconsin law against exchanging an item of value to get someone to vote or not to vote by claiming the checks were for “spokesperson agreements.” But...

The 1st major election since Nov is seen as a litmus test of how voters feel about Trump, & Musk's #DOGE -torn thru fed agencies -laid off 1000s of WKRs.

Winner of the ct’s open seat: will determine whether it remains under 4-3 liberal control. The ct will likely be deciding cases on abortion, public sector unions, voting rules congress. dist boundaries.

Ds +outside grps: outspent Rs on the airwaves ,~$42M comp. to ~$33M.

💙Crawford has a narrow lead.

But Trump is barred from running for vice president because he is not eligible to be president. The 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, "No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

Chris Alemany🇺🇦🇨🇦🇪🇸

Conservative Party of Canada paying people to canvas voters in Courtenay-Alberni!?

Crazy.

The only paid staff I have ever heard of in other parties are sometimes the Chief of Staff/Campaign Manager and/or the Financial Manager.

I have NEVER heard of canvassers getting paid.

Maybe Don’t Take for Granted That You’ll Be Able to Vote in the Midterms

slate.com/news-and-politics/20

It’s the latest step in the MAGA plan to overhaul U.S. elections, by which “overhaul” means “disenfranchise millions”: The “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act,” or SAVE Act, will be put to a vote in the House on Thursday. This week’s vote will follow President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional power grab of an executive order on voting last week...

Maybe Don’t Take for Granted That You’ll Be Able to Vote in the Midterms

The SAVE Act is a direct attack on women’s voting rights.
