This is the second Tarrant County-based school board I'm highlighting the results of tonight, after this: bsky.app/profile/tani...
RESULT: Voters in Mansfield, Texas, have ousted three conservative members of their local school board tonight.

This is a school board that has been at the frontlines of book-banning in Texas, as you can see here: fortworthreport.org/2025/03/19/m...

My quick take after reading FBI's Fulton County affidavit: it's a bunch of discredited recycled BS peddled for years by election deniers and it's appalling that a judge signed off on a warrant for the raid based on the "evidence" presented here
Affidavit for Fulton County FBI raid is out & begins with massive red flag, noting that "criminal investigation originated from referral sent by Kurt Olsen, [Trump's] Director of Election Security & Integrity"

The judge allowed this seizure of ballot boxes and other 2020 election material in Fulton County, GA, based on dubious and long-discredited theories, writes @ariberman.bsky.social and @abbyvesoulis.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The FBI's Fulton County raid was based on debunked claims by election deniers
The evidence provided for seizing 700 boxes of ballots was shockingly thin.

Los Angeles County says it has roughly 688K ballots left. We don’t know exactly how many will be within city of Los Angeles. But we can estimate based on count so far.

Based on that, I think Raman needs to win what’s left over Pratt by roughly 12-12.6% to catch up.

She won today’s batch by 13.2%.
UPDATE from Los Angeles: Spencer Pratt's lead over Nithya Raman for the second spot goes down from 7.1% to 5.9% with today's update.

Of roughly 32K ballots counted today in city of LA, Raman received 33% to Pratt's 20%. (Bass got 37%).

(Overall margin is now 35% Bass, 29% Pratt, 23% Raman.)

Rockland County, NY election interference case moving forward.

This could trigger a recount based on some HIGHLY improbable election results in the county.

In turn, this could lead to a potential annulment of the result of the 2024 Presidential Election.

Hope.

FUN FACTS: Mormons believe the Garden of Eden was located in Jackson County, Missouri, near the city of Independence.

But that's what you get when your religion is based on the lies of a shameless conman.

The Mormon religion was founded in 1830. I don't even have furniture that new!

Also Eric Schmitt's dumbass conspiracy theory was based on the idea that the Fulton County DA and the special counsel, both well-known public figures, said "We must discuss our nefarious plan to get Trump. No, a phone call won't do - let's meet in the stands at an NBA game, with cameras everywhere."
