If U.S. elections were truly “rigged,” we’d have the evidence by now.
Around the world, when leaders actually try to tilt the vote, citizens fight back with watchdog groups, rapid fact-checking, independent vote counts and huge turnout.
Protecting democracy isn’t about yelling fraud. It’s about doing the work.

I like Secretaries of State who do not shake hands with the Hungarian criminal.
Rubio scheduled two national visits in Europe while going to the security conference in Munich this week.
He could have picked any countries. He chose Slovakia and Hungary, which are number 38 and 68 on The World Press Freedom Index.
The Indiana GOP is worried that they will lose, so they introduced legislation to cut early voting days.

"When KS🚨did a version of the #SaveAct, it purged ~40 ineligible voters - & stopped 31K legal citizens from registering to vote (12% of all applicants). That's 775 legal voters lost for every 1 ineligible voter."

"Are you one of nearly 70M American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋♀️
Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote."

'#Orbán says #EU and #Ukraine have "declared war" on #Hungary'
This is a good sign
He's scared
The #election is in April and his party, #Fidesz, is polling well behind #Tisza
But:
Like #Trump, a "make believe it's wartime and limit voting" plan is brewing
I don't think trying to limit voting on a dumb lie is going to work for Trump and Orban
All hell would to break loose
(And if all hell doesn't break loose, we're fucking doomed)
I will be helping as an electoral assistant in the 2026 state #elections in Baden-Württemberg on March 8th.
This also includes counting the #votes on election night, and I really really hope that won't be too depressing.
I'm very happy to be a european today.
The portuguese presidential election was a choice between the far right and social democracy and the portuguese people have chosen the latter, thus rejecting hatred and discrimination.
Along with Spain, the whole Iberic peninsula is showing the rest of Europe that socialism can be a choice for the future.
A future where no one is left behind.

For our upcoming #elections ( #Scotland) please be very aware of the potential #fakes, #frauds, #charlatans, #lies ( #misinformation/ #disinformation) especially from the rightwing supporting #techbro 'services'. The full might of #unionist and #Reform will be using #LLMs (so called #AI) to generate this. Fact check everything!
