BREAKING: In a win for voters, a California court sided with voters with print disabilities, finding that the inability of plaintiffs to “independently return their paper ballots without assistance” violates the law. The court will hold a hearing later this month to discuss the appropriate remedy.

This is how the new CBS keeps people from remembering that the longest serving GOP Speaker of the House ultimately went to jail for covering up child rape. Which is apparently always in season.

Trump is ignoring bipartisan legislation—legislation he signed into law!—to cut health care and education funding while spending billions on vanity projects and war. What is the Republican Congress doing to stop him? NOTHING.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,
