This is a really good article from the Philadelphia Inquirer that says, in no uncertain terms, that 47 is full of shit re his comments on #VBM voting. Gift link via my own Inky sub, feel free to share.

Trump wants to do away with mail-in voting. The U.S. Constitution doesn’t give him that power.

Trump pledged on his social media site that he would do away with both mail voting — which remains popular and is used by about one-third of all voters — and voting machines.

Gewerkschaften und Arbeitgeberverbände verlassen wegen der Politik von Elon Musk dessen Plattform X

Immer mehr Organisationen überlegen, ob und wann sie dem sozialen Netzwerk den Rücken kehren sollen, schließlich unterstützt Musk offen die AfD. Aber nicht nur das.

Oregon has been at the forefront of Vote By Mail (#VBM) since 1981. It has been a great system with, as far as I can tell, very few issues. In some ways I do miss going to an actual voting booth, but I love the convenience and easy ability to research and ponder each and every #vote I cast. I truly feel for those standing in long lines waiting to vote, hoping to vote, worried about voter suppression, getting time off work, perhaps dealing with illness yet still #voting.

Another day, another fab group of South Jersey women #postcarding, this time to encourage #Georgia voters to sign up to #vote by mail. #GOTV #VoteByMail #VBM #NewJersey

@argv_minus_one @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Yes! I am 💯 on the #VBM train. We’ve been VBMing since 2018. In 2020 (I think) #NewJersey passed a law that not only made it easy to sign up for #Vote By Mail, but also made it your permanent choice — that is, you don’t have to request a VBM ballot year after year like PA.

I get my ballot 45 days before the election, fill it out and drop it into a nearby drop-box. Everyone should have this option!
