We need it with Drumpf.
Imao yes!
C'mon Ruben!
It’s not yet determined who gains control of the House, and if Republicans lose the majority it will be extremely difficult for them to pass the more extreme laws like a national abortion ban or their Project 2025 goals.
Arizona and California are undergoing “ballot cures” to address absentee/mail-in ballots that have issues. If enough people cure their ballots, Democrats will win the House majority.
I believe Maricopa County in Arizona is the only county curing ballots, but I may be wrong. So please do your research, and if you mailed in a ballot, check its status to make sure it was accepted!
This is our last line of defense against right-wing extremism.
EDIT Arizona's 2nd Congressional District is curing ballots, too. This includes the counties of Apache, Coconino, Gila, Navajo, Yavapai, Maricopa, Mohave, and Pinal. And the deadline to cure ballots is 5PM this Sunday!
Can someone explain why write in votes end up under Not Qualified? I wrote in Cornel West but its not showing on the list. It says my vote has already been counted on maricopa website. He was qualified on other ballots around the country so why would he end up in the NQ bracket.
I hadn't thought about this for a while but I wonder what the odds are of Kari Lake landing an appointment in the new administration? She was spending a lot of time out in FL for a while. I would imagine it would be lower or mid level. OR maybe she could be the spokesperson?
Hi all,
I'd like to hear some unbiased opinions on how things will look in the near future. Specifically for women. There's so much fear mongering and panic going on that it's hard to find fact in what's coming. Women are scared there rights will be stripped and won't be able to access necessary abortions.
With what's to come, what do we do if things get bad?
Thanks!
