NEVER LEAVE A POLLING PLACE WITHOUT HAVING
FILLED OUT A "PROVISIONAL BALLOT!"
If you have been taken off roles illegally,
your vote will be counted later!
Provisional ballots ensure that voters are not excluded from the voting process due to an administrative error. They provide a fail-safe mechanism for voters who arrive at the polls on Election Day and whose eligibility to vote is uncertain. This webpage provides a general overview of state provisional ballot laws and practices. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/provisional-ballots.aspx and https://www.eac.gov/research-and-data/provisional-voting
Find out all you need to know about midterm elections in 2022. Have questions about voter registration deadlines, requesting absentee or mail-in ballots, or how to vote in-person during early voting or on Election Day? Call or text (and memorize) 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) to speak with a trained Election Protection volunteer. More information about voting in your state can be found HERE: https://866ourvote.org/

This is a reminder that besides the majority of deniers already in Congress...
there are many more poised to join them
"Election officials fear that a surge of conspiracy believers are signing up for those positions this year and are being trained by others who have propagated the lie spread by former President Donald Trump and his allies"
If you are on Twitter and not following Marc Elias, you should. https://twitter.com/marceelias He and his team are the main reason why tRUMP's election lies were thrown out of court. And follow his team and news here: https://www.democracydocket.com/
The most recent Boebert info is that votes can still be cured before November 16

Shake off any doomsday scrolling and just go vote and make sure everyone you know does the same.
Marc E. Elias @marceelias and his team are the reason why tRUMP won only ONE of over 60 court cases before and after the 2020 election...

Thanks to Pro-Vaccinator, not procrastinator for reminding me about Marc and his team...
Heads up and pass on please:
The Justice Department released its plans to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws in 64 jurisdictions in 24 states for the Nov. 8, 2022 general election. see all locations HERE: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-monitor-polls-24-states-compliance-federal-voting-rights-laws
The Civil Rights Division be taking complaints regarding possible violations of the federal voting rights laws through its call center.
Please vote for Democrats, USA, because the rest of the word cannot take much more of this crap...
*Blast from the past:* tRUMP and Republicans made it easier to steal an election by killing the Election Assistance Commission in February 2017. It was the *only* federal agency that can help the states with vote anomalies. The supposed replacement was a sham and was disbanded. In response, he created a commission to investigate voter fraud, led by controversial Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach that FAILED MISERABLY and was to SUPPRESS votes. https://www.thenation.com/article/house-republicans-just-voted-to-eliminate-the-only-federal-agency-that-makes-sure-voting-machines-cant-be-hacked/
I am not on Twitter, and no one should be on election day and perhaps any time after. The team that was responsible for catching election misinformation was fired. Take a deep breath... because ...
Then...
And now
Kanye got a personal welcome back to TWITter from Musk on Oct 8 even knowing Kanye was spewing anti- semite garbage elsewhere and was suspended on many sites.
And now Musk has permanently suspended Kathy Griffith for impersonating him even though there were tons of people impersonating him. RWNJs hate Kathy, so guess why Musk chose her and not Valerie Bertinelli to use as a skapegoat?
"Free speech is free unless you make fun of me..."
and who cares if this is hypocrisy?
The GOP is using multiple biased poll percentages to make it look as if they are winning. This group, "American Greatness" just reported that Nevada Senate candidate Laxalt suddenly has a huge lead. https://amgreatness.com/ This looks like the hand of people like Roger Stone.
Pro-Vaccinator, not procrastinator added this important video which is a must see.
Be aware that ANYONE can be anybody on Monday, when the pay for a blue check will go through, and election is Tuesday. Even now, the impersonation is happening... as ordinary people can pay a fee to impersonate anyone... including the TWITmaster himself.
The election deniers and liars are out in full force. I do hope people are making sure that their friends and family and they themselves vote!
Although it was eventually frozen for retweets, it is not locked from quote tweets, and circulated extensively until someone from the left saw it and reported it... and still it REMAINS UP! This is but one example in thousands that were not reported. Imagine the lies being told on Parler, "Truth" Social, Rumble, TicToc, online fake news and disinformation sites, Fox, RWNJ radio...etc etc etc...
The misleading URL does lead to fact checking which of course no one ever reads. Hopefully some of YOU will and perhaps find something helpful to pass on . https://twitter.com/i/events/1517629873421922304/
REMINDER: TODAY at 5PM EST is that deadline to request a mail in ballot for the November 8th election in Virginia.
Virginia best get out the Dem vote to counter this mess: Youngkin seems to be assuring that the voting there will be a hellscape. Now that his son is 18 and can actually vote legally, you can bet his vote will count.
Mistakes happen, however...
Wow 2 mistakes. But wait... there's more. When they resent to the boxes, they had the wrong information on them. And weeks prior 107,000 voter applications were put in jeopardy by a technical glitch. This is the election integrity that Youngkin ran on?
I am sure that some Virginians would like a word on that, but, he is hard to find being he is mostly out of state stumping for GQP republican and election deniers. ACK!
There is more to read, including Youngkin's spokesperson's ludicrous statement somehow managing to blame Dems and the printers because hey, who has to be competent and proofread and approve anymore? https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/10/21/youngkin-virginia-midterms-election/
Holy hell in a hand basket, there's more... Susan Beals is the Elections Commissioner appointed by Youngkin and she says none of this is political and all are "honest mistakes.' being they are spending an awful lot of money on fixing those mistakes and have yet to fix the voting and voting machine problems from the past, that were supposed to be ready by the midterms, it sounds as though they accept no blame for incompetence. https://www.virginiamercury.com/2022/10/26/printer-takes-responsibility-for-incorrect-voter-postcards-sent-to-thousands-of-virginians/
And
Get out and vote!

Sigh, when the Republicans said they were training poll "watchers" is this what they meant? The video is below, but please, do read the whole thread here:
Sound down to start
The GQP volunteers sign up to be poll-watchers but are not showing up ... so bet your bottom dollar they are going to show up to intimidate for the count as scrutineers, poll-watchers, challengers.

The challenges are already being abused in swing states and at many locations. āWe are 100 times more prepared now,ā Stephen K. Bannon said in an interview. āWeāre going to adjudicate every battle.

Well shit, this is the reason I came here today and forgot to freaking add it??!?!? If this is long term COVID, my goose is cooked. (Well, my brain is for sure)
Part 1 of 4. Other parts are at the bottom of the story.
Democracy on the ballot. (2/3 of Americans will see at least one election denier on their ballot)
