So many folks have in Rockland, NY have signed affidavits saying they voted for an independent candidate for the US Senate, but the final tally from the county’s Board of Elections doesn’t mesh with what voters say they did.

While investigating, they uncovered hundreds of folks who voted for a Democrat for US Senate, but who didn’t vote for Harris (which is generally rare).

We’ll see where this shakes out, but there have been a few stories over the past several months that show some weird things like this with the election (Nevada election results statistically looking like foreign elections we know Russia meddled in, the recent questions about a software patch being rolled out at the last minute on voting machines).

Take the MAGA cult out of the poll and it’s more like high 60s to low 70s.

Most Americans see Trump as "dangerous dictator," poll says - Lemmy.World

A majority of Americans say President Trump is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees, a new survey says. The wide-ranging poll released Tuesday, on Trump’s 100th day in office, is the latest sign of him losing support for his immigration and economic policies — the two issues that largely fueled his election.

Anybody getting an absolute ONSLAUGHT of spam calls? - Lemmy.World

In the past two days alone, I’ve gotten over 20 spam calls with none of them leaving a message. Just 3/4 seconds of silence on my voice mail. One call the other day left a 22 second blank message.

Confirmation Hearing: RFK Jr. Refuses To Say He Won't Further Enrich Himself While Acting As HHS Head - Lemmy.World

I feel like everybody needs to watch this video. First because right wing folks are using it to say Warren is defending Big Pharma. Second because it is a great example of how the Trump administration and all of his lackeys are using their government positions to enrich themselves and further their own agendas at the expense of the American people. He disclosed this in the ethics form the Trump administration originally tried to avoid. From USA Today: >The longtime environmental lawyer turned politician wrote in an ethics agreement that he would keep receiving fees under a previous consulting agreement with WisnerBaum, a law firm that has an ongoing case against prescription drug maker Merck over the Gardasil vaccine. >“I am entitled to receive 10% of fees awarded in contingency fee cases referred to the firm,” Kennedy wrote in the ethics agreement. “I am not trying these cases, I am not an attorney of record for the cases, and I will not provide representational services in connection with the cases during my appointment to the position of secretary.”

The Enshitification of CVS - Lemmy.World

There’s a crime wave at CVS, but you’re being lied to about who’s behind it. The company is under-staffing stores, underpaying workers, and forcing pharmacists to chase money at the expense of patient safety. “I’m afraid I’m going to kill someone,” said one pharmacist.
