Statewide primaries for U.S. Senate and #Minnesota governor today will set up races in this fall’s general #election. In #Democratic strongholds of the Twin Cities and ruby red parts of greater Minnesota, Tuesday’s primary election is the ballgame. Democratic state Sen. Omar Fateh faces two opponents on Tuesday: Jeanelle Austin and Brenda Short. State Sen. Paul Utke of Park Rapids is facing a challenge from ultra-conservative #GOP Rep. Mike Wiener. #uspol #uspolitics #elections

Sobering statistics out of that #Michigan #Senate #election ... Abdul El-Sayed won just 34 percent of the vote in Detroit and lost a majority of votes across counties where less than 30 percent of adults have a college degree. He did best in the areas of Michigan where incomes were highest & college educated. That is not the promised populist "wave." I sincerely hope they can change course to broaden their appeal to non-college educated voters. #uspol #uspolitics https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/08/04/michigan-missouri-primary-democrats-test/michigan-senate-class-divide-01025063

On a sleepy primary #election, there’s ample opportunity to read. My son gave me this book for my birthday. Galahad and the Grail. I love the original Sir Thomas Mallory Mort D’Arthur, and reread it every so often. This is an epic, book-length poem retelling just a small part of the King Arthur story. The verse is very rhythmic and a joy to read. The illustrations are beautiful and timeless. In the introduction, the author says it is good to read it out loud because the words are meant to be felt on the tongue. It’s true. I find myself reading quietly aloud sometimes. #electionofficer

"Brazil is an example of a country with a thriving electronic voting system" https://cs.stanford.edu/people/eroberts/cs201/projects/2006-07/electronic-voting/index_files/page0006.html Whereas the USA voting system "still has a long way to go until the machines are bug-free and trusted" And yet: "U.S. aimed to send envoys to Brazil to question its electoral system" https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-aimed-send-envoys-brazil-question-its-electoral-system-sources-2026-07-25/ #brazil #election #brazilelections #uspol #BrazilElections2026 #USimperialism #FuckTrump #FuckMAGA #EpsteinFiles

Some info about Brazilian elections: 1- It is mandatory. All citizens over 18 and under 70 must vote or tell the government why they couldn't after the election. People 16 and 17 or over 70 can choose to vote or not 2- It is always on a Sunday 3- There is no mail voting 4- The system is controlled federally. There is a special section of the judiciary branch that controls it continue... #election #brazilelections #voting #uspol #votingsystem #USMeddling #elections

The senior ofcl drew a distinction between this diplomatic mission & efforts by the #US govt in 2022 [under #Biden] to fortify Brazilian #democracy & avert a #military takeover. In the lead-up to that #election, #JairBolsonaro [aping #Trump] repeatedly sought to sow doubt over Brazil’s electoral system, which he [falsely] alleged was rife with fraud. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #Brazil #Trump #BigLie

The snr ofcl said he saw #US #intelligence assessments at the time that found “there is no credibility to these accusations against the credibility of #Brazil’s electoral system.” …Following the #election, #JairBolsonaro tried to overturn the results showing he had lost to #Lula & initiate a #military #coup, but most of the country’s generals balked at the plan. Last year, he was convicted of attempting to overthrow the Brazilian state & sentenced to 27 years in prison…. #law #Trump #BigLie

Every “observation mission to #Brazil since 2018, when they started, including the 2022 presidential #election, has found the country’s electoral system to be secure, reliable & fully capable of producing legitimate election results,” said Benoni Belli, the Brazilian ambassador to the Organization of American States. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #US #Trump #BigLie

Good on #Brazil. Give #Trump admin a taste of their own medicine. Brazil denies visas to #US delegation aiming to impugn #election system. 
The US delegation had planned to visit the Brazilian capital & cast doubt on the integrity of the #voting system before a presidential election this fall, officials said. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #BigLie https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/07/24/us-sending-envoys-question-brazilian-electoral-system-officials-say/

#Epstein republicans are #election tampering now. #Alaska recently removed thousands of people from its active #voter lists after they were wrongly flagged as noncitizens. But a state news outlet found that were in fact eligible to #vote https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/alaska-wrongly-removed-eligible-voters-from-active-voter-lists/ #midterms #elections #news #usa
