It's been 34 years since a non-incumbent Democrat won a statewide election in Texas. Eugene Cook, the incumbent GOP Supreme Court Justice, lost to San Antonio-area judge Rose Spector - she was the first woman elected to SCOTX. Quite a striking map compared to today's Texas coalitions.
The North Carolina legislature passed a bill this year that would bar the state’s board of elections from doing anything to boost turnout. The Democratic governor has vetoed it, and the GOP may try to override his veto later this year. boltsmag.org/north-carolina…
Thousands of American Samoan nationals live in Alaska, and many report confusion about their voting rights. After a yearslong effort to prosecute an American Samoan family for illegally voting, state prosecutors last week dropped the charges. boltsmag.org/charges-droppe…
At a hearing for a bill empowering state officials to discipline sheriffs, Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank threatened severe consequences were the bill to pass. The state’s sheriff association considered excluding him but only issued a reprimand. boltsmag.org/pierce-county-…
A reminder there’s nothing magical about ‘private polls’ you don’t see compared to quality public polls or public average of (real) polls. They too are subject to same biases, errors, nonresponsiveness, assumptions. Romney camp thought he led; everyone’s privates were off in 2020
As the tide turns against Flock, more red-state leaders are ditching the surveillance tech—including the sheriff of a rural Florida county that has so little traffic that it doesn't have any stoplights. Was so glad to get this pitch from @AlexLDeLuca boltsmag.org/jefferson-coun…
to late night folks in Missouri and Montana… and anyone else who wants to see how some folks are strategizing to find new legal approaches to defend democracy:
NEW: Organizers in Montana & Missouri have faced years of attacks against popular initiatives. So they're turning tables—they've qualified 2 measures for November that would amend their state constitutions and significantly strengthen direct democracy. boltsmag.org/missouri-and-m…
Missouri and Montana Republicans have tried to restrict citizen-led initiatives in recent years. In response, democracy advocates have put constitutional amendments on the ballot declaring popular initiatives a fundamental right. boltsmag.org/missouri-and-m…
The audacity of GOP members of Congress now running on helping people avoid deportation.
This immigration-focused ad from Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz in #TX15 started airing last week. The spot features the wife of a DACA recipient who was detained by ICE earlier this year.
The GOP tried to win Texas by "attacking" Talarico as vegan (which he is not)... ... while telling voters worried of inflation to eat veggie burgers

re: the Idaho poll.
People *really* have to start thinking for more than five seconds before they boost every single "poll" they see come across the timeline. If something seems off, something is probably off. x.com/JacobRubashkin…
@TylerDinucci So Gov rae margin was exactly right, and the Senate margin was 10% off.
"Marshall has faced persistent scrutiny throughout his time in the Congress for his transience in Kansas."
Via Anna Kaminski: U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall established deeper roots than previously disclosed in Sarasota, Florida, where he had a vacation home that he traveled to on official business and said he used for visiting family. #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2026/09/18/u-s…
@JeremiahDJohns But he won the Democratic primary to make it to the general election? I don’t understand, this makes it sound like a party committee appointed him on the ballot.
Reporter for The 19th here — our story from 6 years ago cited by Google’s AI here did not, in fact, say that. It says Bill Graves endorsed Gov. Laura Kelly
@TylerDinucci Once you see the decimal game, you can't unsee it.
*Millions of Americans* are not voting for this one weird reason.
just unreal stuff in the NYT this morning. nytimes.com/2026/09/17/opi…
Your regular reminder that all six towns on Martha's Vineyard (and yes not the summer crowd) voted for Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.
