The #SouthCarolina House passed a congressional map that aims to eliminate the seat now held by #JamesClyburn, a powerful #Black #Democrat.
The map will eliminate the state’s ONLY Democratic seat at the urging of #Trump.
Among the changes is a significant shift of the Sixth District currently represented by Democratic power broker James E. Clyburn.

Anticipating a court reversal, #Alabama officials recently enacted a law allowing it to void the results of a May 19 #primary for some congressional districts & instead hold a new primary under the revised district boundaries. It’s up to #Republican Gov. Kay Ivey to set a date for a special primary #election, though it must occur by August.

Unbelievable
The #FederalGovernment can keep the #2020election ballots from #Georgia’s #FultonCounty that were seized by the #FBI from a warehouse near #Atlanta, a judge ruled Wednesday.
US District Judge JP Boulee’s decision came after lawyers for the county had argued that the #ballots & other #election materials, as well as any electronic copies the #DOJ has made, should be returned because the seizure was improper & #unconstitutional.

"Who cares, #Trump is the problem"
On the contrary, the #presidency is just a capstone on a huge system, and when we take our eye off the little #elections, we get a systemic rot that leads to someone like Trump

There are many problems with #USA #democracy
Like the stupid #ElectoralCollege
Gore beat Bush in 2000, Clinton beat Trump in 2016. In the popular vote. The EC erased it
Well here's another reason for you to #vote in the #primaries and the general #election:
The #Democrats, if they win enough in November, can kill the EC
It's been a 20 year effort of states agreeing to void the EC if enough agree: the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

#Canadian #election databases use "canary traps"—and they work
In a world awash in high-tech #security tools like #passkeys , quantum-safe algorithms, & public-key #cryptography , it can be refreshing to get back to the simple things... like a good old-fashioned #canary trap.
The canary trap is a simple tool often used to identify #leakers or #doubleagents. To make one, you simply share a document, image, or DB but make tiny changes that are unique to each recipient.

Investigators found that leaders of a prison gang in Puerto Rico were selling inmates drugs in exchange for voting for Gov. Jenniffer González-Colón, a longtime Republican.
After Trump’s election, prosecutors were told not to pursue charges.

Prosecutors Had a Drugs-for-Votes Scheme “Locked Up.” Under Trump, They Were Told Not to Pursue Charges.
Before the 2024 election, federal prosecutors were "full steam ahead" looking into how a prison gang in Puerto Rico gave drugs to inmates if they voted for a GOP gubernatorial candidate. After Trump’s election, the investigation evaporated.lisa.larson-walker@propublica.org (ProPublica)
