Postmortems of voting woes, disenfranchisement, and how countries around the world elect government officials.
I don't want to live through another Trump presidency.
When I shared McSweeney's list of the damage that Trump has done, my uncle laughed at me. I thought that the people who raised me taught me about integrity. I thought they believed that lying is wrong. My dad warned me about the sex offender's in my grandma's neighborhood, and warned me that it wasn't safe to walk alone.

Answer to a meme to get a vote for Harris/Walz
I see a whole lot of memes on the internet that are usually lies, inaccurate or take text out of context. I spotted this one on facebook posted by “a friend” and felt a need to answer. If you see this meme I give full permission to borrow any of these words if it helps you point out that Harris/Wlaz best fit this meme's requirements.

The Truth About Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s Economy: What Trump and Vance Don’t Want You to Know
I have taken the time to research and write this essay because I feel it is important that people vote on the facts instead of lies. I find it reprehensible that Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are basing a major part of their presidential campaign on an outright lie.

Is Trump's policy enough to make up for his personality
This was undeniably a generational Republican ballot. With Doug Burgum, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis all present, it felt like the only person missing was a Bush. Every angle of right-wing philosophy was represented on that stage: neoconservatives, libertarians, America First proponents, foreign policy enthusiasts, governors, and newcomers.

Where Ranked-Choice Voting Stands During The 2024 Election
The 2024 general elections are shaping up to be a banner year for ranked-choice voting (RCV). In November, voters in six states and Washington, D.C., will vote on ballot initiatives. Some are voting on whether to replace their current first-past-the-post voting systems with some form of a ranked-choice vote for state and federal elections, while some are voting on whether to ban or repeal ranked-choice voting systems.
