Oh boy.
"It shows that MAGA leaders realize that the white nationalism they use to turn out their supporters is increasingly unpopular across the nation and that the only way to stay in power is to define those who vote for the other party as illegitimate voters."

AOC making sure #newJersey knows what's up
"The MAGA furor over undocumented voting reflects something different than a genuine concern that undocumented immigrants are flooding into U.S. polling booths."

Legal fight escalates over #Georgia voting records as #Trump says he wants to ‘take over’ #elections
Officials in Georgia’s Fulton County said Wednesday they have asked a federal court to order the #FBI to return ballots & other documents from the #2020election that it seized last week, escalating a voting battle as Trump says he wants to “take over” elections from Democratic-run areas with the November #midterms on the horizon.

#DemocracyNow - “No Means No”: #AZ Secretary of State Calls for #Resistance as #Trump Pushes to “ #Nationalize” #Voting
February 04, 2026
"As President Trump suggests the federal government should 'nationalize' and take over the elections process from the states, we speak with #Arizona Secretary of State #AdrianFontes. He is the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona, and oversaw elections there in 2020. The #JusticeDepartment has sued Arizona and over 20 other states [includng #Maine] for their full #VoterRegistration lists. 'No means no,' Fontes says in response to the Trump administration’s encroachment on state authority. 'We should not be handing over any of our personal identifying information to the president. Not only should we not be doing it, but it’s against the law for me to fulfill the request from the Department of Justice.' "

@jaykuo As all your readers know, the SAVE act would suppress the vote of any woman who has changed her name at some point in her life.
For such a ‘traditional values’ person, I find it odd that Ms Leavitt does not use her husband’s name. I wonder why…….
The SAVE Act Would Disenfranchise Millions of Citizens
https://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-save-act-would-disenfranchise-millions-of-citizens/
"the legislation would require the vast majority of #Americans to rely on a passport or birth certificate to prove their citizenship.... more than 140 million #American citizens do not possess a passport and as many as 69 million #women who have taken their spouse’s name do not have a birth certificate matching their legal name."

"After snatching all Fulton County’s voter data, there’s little doubt that Trump lackeys will 'find' the 'missing' 11,780 votes he urged Secretary of State Raffensperger to 'look for.' Even after Raffensperger affirmed that the 2020 election was the most secure in Georgia’s history, Trump will manufacture outcome-changing evidence, 'find' stolen votes, and demand that democratic poll workers be prosecuted."

"She’s the excuse to tell a story: a tired rehashing of Trump’s manufactured lies about the 'stolen' 2020 election.
The last thing Trump wants is free and fair elections. There is no more quiet part to say out loud. He’s screaming it from the rooftops."
