I think a large undervote that ended Kaptur's career would be an effective and relatively low-cost signal to stop this nonsense.
If you're in Ohio, do not vote for Marcy Kaptur. She needs to lose. It's just anti trans ad after anti trans ad.

Trump choosing to decide the Texas GOP primary, as you would imagine, is a foolish move which will create a Republican undervote and ultimately backfire.

I really thought Harris would win. I did not anticipate the undervote.

The thing about partisan Dems is that they usually come home. I think West Bloomfield will have a noticeable undervote, but it's not going to be catastrophically so.

Historical undervote norm is around 0.5%, but in Michigan that year it was 14.4% undervote rate - odds of that naturally occurring are 1 in 10⁹⁸.
59% of Detroit precincts experienced machine malfunctions—jammed scanners, failed to read ballots or didn’t properly tabulate votes.

I also am pretty sure the Jewish Democrats voting for Mike Rogers thing is overblown. They found a good amount of the ones signing on were actually just republicans
not discounting an undervote among Jewish Dem voters in Michigan, but I think actual crossover will be pretty minimal

OH-GOV undervote from Senate is going to be nasty in November
Just a continual race to the bottom it seems

New reporting reveals Ohio Republican Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to.
This scheme boosted Ramaswamy's company stock price and generated a $1.4 B IPO, where he then cashed out before the stock tanked.

North Florida whites probably do, but undervote in the gubernatorial because they are insanely racist, but the old white incomers shift at least a couple points left because everything is on fire and shitty.

Jasmine Crockett is the best choice.
We need bold leadership and a strategy that builds on motivation of Democratic undervote in states like Texas that have a larger number of low propensity voters.

periodic reminder that the city council undervote in portland was normal by historic standards, and portland and gresham (which did not have ranked choice voting) look very similar when you compare 2024 to previous years

I mean, I was an undervote in the primary. But I will vote for him in the general. One is trying to send a message, the other is trying to save us from imminent fascist takeover. 🤷🏻♀️

Like, ultimately, my vote doesn't matter here in Texas. But an undervote is a perfectly good way to send a message.

Undervote percentages spiked in 43 states!
Dr. Walter Mebane—gold standard in election forensics—flagged statistically significant irregularities in Michigan & Wisconsin. Something was fishy.

Listening to an interview with someone from Listen to Michigan, Vote Uncommitted. They are asking folks to undervote the presidential race in the primary to send a message about Gaza. (Not vote for Biden) They're not asking this from other states, but I love the idea of a national undervote. I'm in.

Roughly 99% as many people voted in the presidential race in Pennsylvania than in the Senate race.
But in Philly, the undervote was far greater; that rate is roughly 96%.
(This alone would *not* make up Casey's deficit, though; it's equivalent for about half the current gap.)

SOME RCV NEWS: The D.C. Board of Elections has issued emergency rules spelling out how ranked-choice voting will work when it's first used for the June 16 election. There's details on what happens if there's an overvote, an undervote, if a voter skips a ranking, and more.

There has been some chatter about recounts. And there probably will be a mandatory machine recount. But tabulation errors are random and rare, and mostly involve determinations of whether a ballot is an undervote or a write-in. They almost never change outcomes.

1) Split partisan outcomes are normal in NC
2) The undervote/roll-off was typical except for Gov. where it was ⬆️ for...reasons
3) Even for Gov, the winning margin >>the undervote
No conspiracy, no malfeasance, just normal electoral patterns in a purple state #ncpol
