#ballots

#Republicans set out this year 2 weaken #Black voters' power across the South, & new numbers suggest the effort has badly misfired Black #voters have already cast more than 160,000 more #ballots than they had @ this stage of the 2022 #midterms, #TheBulwark reported Wednesday, w/ the sharpest shifts showing up in Southern states, especially in #Louisiana & #SouthCarolina. Louisiana is where the case that led the #SupremeCourt 2 gut #Section2 of the #VotingRightsAct began

#FBI Has Looked at Using Questionable #AI Tech to Review #Signatures on Seized Mail-In #Ballots The FBI has explored using artificial intelligence to assess the validity of signatures on tens of thousands of mail-in ballot envelopes seized from #FultonCounty, #Georgia , the latest push in the #Trump administration’s unprecedented reinvestigation of the 2020 #vote. The effort, according to internal communications reviewed by ProPublica and an agency tech specialist familiar with the work, focuses on comparing signatures on ballot envelopes with signatures on other #election documents, such as registration forms. President #DonaldTrump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him. #maga

Y’all, did you know that Trump’s handpicked mail czar has declared that unless states give the Post Office lists of all voters, they just won’t deliver mail ballots. Just…won’t deliver them. This is of course highly unconstitutional, especially since a federal court ruled today that the executive order underlying the request is …wait for it…unconstitutional. Still, there’s a couple days left to yell at them about this nonsense and tell them to cut it out.
