Among the laws going into effect this year in New Jersey: minimum wage increase and allowing 17-year-olds who are turning 18 before general election to vote in primaries.
"By allowing these 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections we are allowing them to weigh in on which candidates they want representing their party in the general election, just like everyone else who will be voting in November."

If you think "legal = good" you are a nazi
Ranked choice voting outperforms the winner-take-all system used to elect nearly every US politician
> Ranked choice voting largely avoids the pitfalls of plurality voting, giving voters the power to express their true candidate preferences rather than being strategic.

UK residents, can you manage another petition? This one goes to the heart of our democracy, such as it is. We need a proper enquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy. #Reform #Conservatives #Labour #Russia #democracy #voting #UK

Perhaps you can take this as inspiration to lift your spirits?
A diverse coalition supported a mayoral candidate campaign in a ruby red county in southern New Mexico.
Result?
Historic!
Is this election result really that significant?
Some recent context:
"In Alamogordo, an almost 5 hour special commission meeting called by Commissioner Melton to discuss a resolution to name Alamogordo a Sanctuary City for the Unborn resulted in the resolution passing by a 5 to 2 vote." (August, 2022)
"In September 2022, county commissioner Couy Griffin was removed from office pursuant to the Insurrection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution due to his actions in the January 6 United States Capitol attack,[1] for which he was pardoned in January 2025. He is a member of the Republican Party."

Does anyone else feel politically homeless?

More #election results
In #Maine, voters rejected a ballot measure that would have added #voting restrictions, & approved a measure that enables families to try to get a troubled relative’s #guns taken away.
In #Pennsylvania, voters granted new 10-year terms to 3 #Democratic justices on the state’s supreme court.
In #Detroit, #Michigan, #Democrat Mary Sheffield became the city’s first #female #mayor & the first new mayor in a dozen years.
"If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald #Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power," #Mamdani told a raucous crowd of supporters. "So Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: turn the volume up."

Trump now claims people like Merrick Garland and Jack Smith rigged the 2020 election.
These people were not appointed by Biden before he was inaugurated in 2021. But Trump wants us to believe, that while he was president, these people were able to rig an election spanning 50 states while working their civilian jobs.
@randahl Every accusation is a confession.
Independent #audits of #voting data coming out from Florida and some other ’red’ states in the 2024 election are showing signs of manipulation.
Classic ”flood the zone” #propaganda tactic: When you know evidence against you is about to come out, release several competing counter narratives to confuse the public into not believing anything.
Yo #Dallas! Early #voting started yesterday (I know, I’m still reeling from the #NoKings march). Avoid the drama; Go now. In play this #election are property taxes, legal cover for #transphobic parents, and suburban school boards —lots of opportunities to protect #queer youth.
