The list of those charged for being a fake elector or for seeking to overturn an election grows longer with this new Arizona indictment. 18 defendants total in AZ. azag.gov/sites/default/…
My thoughts are with my former colleagues at public media leader @WBUR as they undergo another round of painful layoffs/buyouts: wbur.org/news/2024/04/2…
Another data point showing Americans' evolving voting patterns: "The rate of early voting or voting by mail was 49.8% in 2022, 10.0 percentage points more than in 2018." census.gov/newsroom/press…

Many voting officials cheered when DHS last year announced millions in grants specifically for elections. But in many cases, the grant allocations didn’t go as hoped. Here’s what happened: npr.org/2024/04/23/124…
In today's Marist poll, favorability for Biden *increases* among each generation up the age scale, while it *decreases* for Trump. A real flip. maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/upl… Biden's numbers are at left, Trump's at right:
There's an ongoing concern that Trump-fueled lies about voting will lead to more partisan actors joining the election administration ranks. But from 1998-2018, new research finds that partisan election officials don’t advantage their own party: goodauthority.org/news/partisan-…
“There are few things that would decarbonize the U.S. faster than $20,000 EVs [like China’s BYDs]. But there is probably nothing that would kill the U.S. auto industry faster, either.” theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Some states make it much easier to get on the ballot as a minor-party presidential candidate, compared with running as an independent. That's why you see RFK Jr. and Cornel West starting new political “parties.” npr.org/2024/04/17/124…

There are primary runoffs today in Alabama's new congressional district, which was crafted after a successful VRA challenge. @stphnfwlr recently went there to report on on what representation means — and why it’s not a given: npr.org/2024/04/15/124…
As promised, the state of California has filed a lawsuit to challenge Huntington Beach's' recently passed local voter ID measure: sos.ca.gov/administration…

If convicted in a trial this year, Trump could lose the right to vote for himself. We wade through the scenarios: npr.org/2024/04/14/124…

The court’s Alabama congressional map drew Barry Moore out of his 2nd District (which now leans Dem) & put him in the 1st District with fellow GOP Rep. Jerry Carl. Moore, who’s in the far-right Freedom Caucus, would have a geographic disadvantage if he runs in a primary vs. Carl
