TAKE YOUR BALLOTS TO A DROP BOX THIS NOVEMBER.
Don't use a mailbox. Use a ballot drop box, because the US postal service is _already_ fucking with ballots.
This is not a guess, theory, or extrapolation, this is an _observed fact_. Here's the Thurston County auditor talking about postal service fuckery during the primary, and some of the steps they're taking to get around it:
thurstoncountywa.gov/news/we-a…
Imagine express mail taking 19 days to deliver to the _next county over_. Literally behaviour they've never seen before. That's they kind of fuckery they're seeing.
Take your ballot to a BALLOT DROP BOX, not a mailbox.

We are seeing serious problems with mail delivery through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Voters are following all the rules, but mail delays are causing many ballots to arrive way too late.Mary Hall (Thurston County)

Public participation in the election campaign in Berlin Kreuzberg
The Green party's slogan "reset the time - where if not here? " was answered by a citizen with "Well, maybe in Prenzl Berg" [Prenzlauer Berg is the maybe even more gentrified neighboring district, once wild, now mainly inhabited by wealthy boring new rich]

The old Persian proverb describes Israel today in a perfect way
از خلا همان برون تراوت که در اوست!
From the toilet emerges the same thing that is already within it! (Loose translation)
Israeli society is unified behind their superiority, racist, genocidal mindset.
Netanyahu is just an old result of this sick society. Olmert, Lieberman and others are all the same, but with different degrees of filters to hide their true face towards the outside world.
If one wants to understand Israel today, you must read their news in Hebrew where they openly and shamelessly speak their mind.

some switched to trump. a few nonvoters showed for trump

Nearly 150,000 #MailBallots rejected in #California primary despite efforts to count every vote.
Lawmakers concerned about #USPS #postmark changes.
In January, a group of mostly Democratic US senators sent a letter to the USPS, alarmed that mail-processing changes might affect postmark dates for mail-in ballots during an #election year that will determine control of #Congress.

"Three #progressive leaders in #Colorado are criticizing #democraticsocialist #MelatKiros, who is running to represent the 1st #Congressional District in #Denver, for refusing days before the #primary #election to call the deadly #firebombing attack last year on a #Jewish community rally in #Boulder #antisemitic.
One of the leaders is a state representative who has endorsed #Kiros.
Kiros’ comments and the criticism come as the 29-year-old first-time political #candidate appears to be on the cusp of unseating #Democratic #US Rep. #DianaDeGette amid a wave of discontent with Democratic incumbents.
“I don’t know what was in the heart of the perpetrator,” Kiros said in a recent interview with 9News."

This is how it is done - #US #oil #gas companies bought #politicians for less than $1B in the 2024 #election cycle and have made billions in extra profits thanks to the #war which has also gutted their major competitors in the #MiddleEast increasing their market share over the long-term. Easy-peasy.
Too early to celebrate, but late enough to be hopeful.

This is #America: "It is a country that has known its share of mistakes in history, but it is equally a country that has learned from those mistakes and has continually shaped its role as the leader of the free world with humility, responsibility, and a firm moral compass. This is evident above all in the choice of its president, because the American people are thoughtful and guided by their conscience. This is America."

"When Citizens United was decided in 2010, #billionaires had spent $18 million on the 2000 #presidential #election $13 million in the 2004 cycle and $16 million in 2008. Then came the deluge. In 2012 the total was $231 million, and the figure roughly doubled again in each of the next three election cycles — to $682 million in 2016, $1.2 billion in 2020 and $2.6 billion in 2024."

This! It is possible to optimize on a paper-based voting/election system, but the ultimate source of truth should remain paper ballots selected by the voter in secrecy.
Among many other benefits, it's also about the only system of voting that can, in principle, be audited by *anyone*.
Yes, there are costs involved; but the costs of not having an ultimate source of truth about the outcome of a vote can be *immeasurably* larger.
Of course, in the Netherlands, election loser Geert Wilders starts spreading messages suggesting a rigged election. It's what far-right people always do when they lose. But, unlucky for him, the Netherlands still votes on paper, so while a full recount will take time, it is perfectly possible to do. Democracy deserves the paper trail. It's something I will never stop preaching as loud as I can.

"As a #teen #reporter I work hard to amplify the voices of young people on issues that affect them. That’s why I was excited about my assignment from the #NewYork #Jewish Week to gather teens’ reactions to the upcoming #NewYorkCity #mayoral #election. While many of these teens aren’t old enough to #vote, I hoped to present a range of opinions from young people who care about their city and its future.
But when I started to report on the issue, I kept hitting the same wall: None of the #teens I tried to #interview would go on the record with their names or their #political beliefs. All eight said they didn’t want that type of exposure in such a politically divisive time."
