Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Officials urge residents to use online tool to check if ballot was accepted

The total number of ballots — 13,906 — needing curing include 6,383 from registered nonpartisan or other voters, 4,026 from Democrats and 3,497 from Republicans.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. Ballots can be cured here.

The main issue they're having with young voters is that Nevada allows for voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the "signatures" are digital (the licensee types it into a form), so their hand-written signatures on their ballots don't match the KEYSTROKES that serve as signatures on their license.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking infuriating.

Please share so Nevada folks see this and can cure their ballots and help people close to them do so!

signature verification is the dumbest fucking thing. it has never been actually particularly verified to work and it has very obvious false negatives.

My dream for the election is that it’s definitive. I want a 2012-style Election Day where everyone built it up beforehand to possibly be close but then the results start rolling in and it was like “Oh, nevermind. It’s obviously Obama. Everyone go to bed.”

I just want voters to put a stake right through the heart of Trumpism so that it crumbles to ash before our eyes. That’s the dream.

For some of us, this is the third time we’ve had to be part of the firewall to stop Trump (and the efforts failed the first time). It is impossible to describe what this election feels like. Please vote.

It’s also not just about the POTUS election. Democrats will need control of the House and Senate to enact good change, otherwise the GOP will be able to block and block and block. Please vote.

If you think because you live in a blue state your vote won’t impact things—I live in a blue state and there are some district elections that could potentially determine control of the House of Representatives. Please vote.

"if voting worked they'd make it illegal"

I looked this up before reblogging. She's a member of LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens.

This is a coordinated effort to intimidate and suppress the Latino vote in Texas.

Look at what these fuckers are doing.

"They scared the hell out of me," Martinez told CBS News after nine officers with tactical gear and firearms showed up on Aug. 20.
[...]
"My nightgown and I had all these policemen around me. It was embarrassing, humiliating, I was so angry. It was horrible," Martinez said.
They seized her phone, computer, personal calendar, blank voter registration forms and her certificate to conduct voter registration, according to Martinez.
She's been a LULAC member for over 35 years and works to expand voter registration among seniors and veterans in South Texas.
"I feel that they're going to stop a lot of us from going out and doing our work, and that's what they want," Martinez told Omar Villafranca.

Same fucking story.

Here's their donation form. Charity navigator rates them 4 stars. Let's make the Texas AG's bullying backfire by drawing nationwide attention to this organization.

i like the way you think

ok looks like we're gonna be doing the same thing, different verse, now that it's Kamala Harris on the Dem ticket instead of Joe Biden.

friendly reminder that one of these 2 people is getting elected. there's not a magical 3rd party person who's mystical and perfectly progressive who is gonna come out of the woodwork and save us. not voting or voting 3rd party isn't a "protest," it's capitulation. so let's do a comparison:

On Gaza:

I forgot to add to this that Trump also stated he will deport any non-citizen who protests the war in Gaza.

On LGBTQ+ rights:

On criminal justice:

On reproductive rights:

On the border:

On voting rights:

On climate change:

On the working class:

EVERYONE CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION

RE-REGISTER IF NECESSARY! They can purge you, but they can't stop you from just slapping your legally valid registration right back in the system! Don't let them get away with stealing your vote!

At this point they know they only way to get the twice-impeached 34-count felon (that cheated on is wife with a porn star while she was pregnant and then lied about using presidential campaign funds to pay off said porn star's hush money) elected is if if they stop the opposition from voting entirely. So they're going to purge the people most likely to vote against him. Which is illegal but clearly they don't care about illegal shit, or else they wouldn't be running a convicted felon for president, now would they?

I’ll say it again. In 2020 I was purged between a local town council election and the national election. Thank bob I’m paranoid and checked my registration in time to reregister. If you’re in the US check your voter status asap. And then check it again in a month.

This is anecdotal, so take this how you will, but years back when me, my brother, and lady roommate at the time moved to georgia and we all registered to vote.

Curiously of the three of us, only the woman of the group had her registration purged right after, and she got a letter saying her vote didn't count. Maybe it's because non-male and non-white people have a tendency to be left leaning. Maybe she forgot how to spell her name that she's spelled correctly all her life. WHO CAN REALLY SAY?

This can happen to you, it tends to happen more often if you check particular demographic boxes for some strange reason, and it would behoove you to check.

Hey so if you truly think that not voting is neutral or a good form of protest, please take one moment to think about why there are so many bot-written comments and whole misinformation campaigns dedicated to keep you from casting your vote. And why gerrymandering is a thing. Why the right to vote first was only given to the rich and wealthy, why the fight for woman’s suffrage took so long, and why some people are still barred from voting today. Why facists show up at the booth to threaten voters, and why they pass laws that serve no other purpose but voter suppression. Because your vote has power, however little. And if you decide to give that power up, someone else will gladly take it.

Since it's election year in the US, I think everyone should check open secrets to see if the candidate they're voting for has taken money from AIPAC. Any vote cast towards a recipient of AIPAC funds is a vote cast towards the genocide of Palestinians.

HERE is a source you can use for this. TrackAIPAC tells you who (from House/Senate) has taken AIPAC money, how much they've taken, and when they're up for re-election. Time to get these Zios out of office.
