2025 elections

[Vrede too]

Abigail Spanberger (D), the frontrunner for VA Gov, and Mikie Sherrill (D), the frontrunner for NJ Gov were roommates in the past . This was probably when they were in the US House, but may have been at some other time. Lawrence O'Donnell asked if they ever talked about who would be Governor first.

Who paid him to do that, Cuomo or Turkey?

[O Really]

In light of all the efforts in various places to suppress votes, some other places still value the vote. The special election to approve/disapprove the defensive gerrymandering proposed by Newsom. At this point, it looks like it will likely pass. Anyway, first, the issue is up for public vote, unlike other places. Registration to vote is widely canvassed and easy, including when getting a drivers licence, but proof of residency and citizenship is required. Registrations are re-verified before the first ballot is sent. Ballots are sent to the registered address of every voter. Instructions are clear with regard to the issues and the voting procedure including large-lettered deadlines. Instructions and ballots are available in 10 languages. For additional assistance, there are QR scans, website reference and Registrar office phones. You can mail your ballot (and track delivery), put it in a secure drop-off box or vote in person. For drop boxes, within the ten-ish mile diameter of the cities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista, there are 12 boxes, in places like grocery stores, pharmacies, libraries. There are over 60 voting centers throughout the county, and anybody can vote at any of them - no precinct limitations.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation people have cumulatively dug up 69 cases of voter fraud in California, out of a 40mill population. That's fewer than in NC (123), Texas (113), or Florida (91). Washington, also all mail-in, 15. All the cases are individual, nothing systemic.
