gee, i wonder why this might be: 
Voting rights groups released a report after the municipal elections that found voters lacking qualifying IDs were treated differently depending on the county and sometimes failed to receive an exception form. The State Board of Elections approved rule changes in February to help address those concerns
apparently theyâre also getting rid of the mail in grace period:
Republicans argue that everyoneâs voting deadline should be the same and that people will get used to the earlier absentee ballot deadline
dear gop. how can everyoneâs deadline be the same if mail in ballots have to be sent earlier?

In addition, that ghoul and his minions donât care about letting children die from completely preventable causes. They want to eliminate the offspring of poor âtakersâ who canât afford private school. Whatever they can use to placate believers in their Great Replacement theory is considered to be a bonus.

Haley took 63% of the GOP primary vote to 33% for Trump. Just over 2,000 D.C. Republicans cast ballots. Because Haley got more than half of the vote, she came away with the districtâs 19 delegates.

Sheâs putting all her money on betting that Trump wonât make it to the general with his legal problems.

I wonder if thatâs her game. I mean, why not think that, but say you love Tromp until he falls (if he does)? I would think that that way, sheâd gain a lot of his supporters.

Someoneâs not happy.
I purposely stayed away from the D.C. Vote because it is the âSwamp,â with very few delegates, and no upside. Birdbrain spent all of her time, money and effort there.

If sheâs not circling the wagon like the rests of the GOP, she must think heâs gonna be weak as a candidate in the general.

Plus, Trump has a pretty reliable track record of viewing people who dared to run against him as disloyal, even if he briefly seems to accept them into the club after they drop out. He typically does something at some point to publicly humiliate them to punish them for that disloyalty. He did this with Christie and Romney in 2016, and heâll probably do it again this year with Ramaswamy and Tim Scott, if he somehow, God forbid, manages to win in November. I think Haley understands this, since she actually was a member of Trumpâs administration. Plus, not dropping out and swearing fealty to Trump after New Hampshire put her permanently in the disloyal camp. Thereâs nothing she could do to gain Trump voters at this point.

And sheâll be the only one with delegates to bring to the table.

AIPAC uncorks $100 million war chest to sink progressive candidates
Building on a successful playbook from 2022, AIPAC and other aligned groups are picking their targets â many more of them this time.
Criticizing that is like sailing between Scylla and Charybdis: How to avoid the taint of âdual loyaltiesâ and antisemitism while getting them to stop promoting blue-coat Republicans.

Saw this before caffeine. I misread it as âbetween Scalia and Charybdisâ which probably doesnât change the effective meaning much here.

Scylla was a six-headed monster, so maybe Roberts and Charybdis?

Unsurprising but disappointing:
I get why this canât really be a state-by-state decision but SOMEBODY needs to enforce the insurrectionist clause and neither congress nor SCOTUS are stepping up.
