Signed a few days ago! Even if it doesn't actually work, it will be a stain on Roberts' legacy.

Roberts needs to answer questions about several things, including his wife's job of placing lawyers in companies that have been before the Supreme Court. Which is a rather lucrative job.

I came here to say this! Anything that offers hope for “we the people” effecting change (yes, E ffectin, meaning to bring about) is excellent news!

Praise to judge Samantha Elliot for spelling out the problems with the SAVE act.

And Wes Moore should be sainted! His acts to protect the citizens of his state should be the Dems’ playbook!

The single case of VOTER FRAUD in NEW HAMPSHIRE that I recall is a REPUBLICAN who voted in both MASSACHUSETTS and NEW HAMPSHIRE.

NEW HAMPSHIRE doesn't want COLLEGE STUDENTS voting, among others.

I did VOTER CANVASSING in New Hampshire. Lots of INDEPENDENTS registered, but someone told me that you can't do business with the state if you're 'partisan' - registered with a PARTY.

New Hampshire funds public education with REAL ESTATE TAXES with predictable results. I was sent into REPUBLICAN VOTING areas and the educational disparities were stunning!

All of these huge state victories give me hope. There are way too many of us—running their businesses and cities, teaching their kids, powering the labor movement. They’ll never be as powerful as they pretend to be!

Julie's avatar

Exactly, Ms. Jonington. Trump and his regime are NOISE. We are ACTION!

Sam Jones's avatar

I think it’s safe to say Trump STILL has no idea how powerful our resistance movement is. That’s ok—he’s about to find out!

Sandy S's avatar

That stupid image he put out, with him dumping bags of sh## on cities in the US from a jet says it all about his ignorance of who we are.

Julie's avatar

Well said, Sam! When you live in a bubble where everyone shields you from reality, it eventually catches up to you. It is snowballing in Trump's direction.

Paul savin's avatar

From your post to God's ears Sam. This has to stop already. I'm so tired of his deranged posts and interviews. He has late stage dementia and people listen to his ranting. He has wars happening all over the world one of which he started and he only can talk about himself, his ballroom, the reflecting pool and putting his face on everything. I can't wait till he is gone and I never have to hear from him again.

Good news…keep up the resistance!!!!

Gov. Moore is doing what ALL states-at least those blue states, need to do. We are all sick & tired of being robbed blind & unable to care for ourselves & families.

I haven't seen any evidence-yet-of voter suppression here in NJ. I live in a red zone of a blue state, so we'll see.

Thanks for the smile this morning. I do believe we are seeing the degeneration of the regime!

Julie's avatar

Good morning, Scott! I'm charged up again, thanks to your news today.

Wes Moore just signed real cost-of-living relief into law. Should this be the Democratic playbook everywhere? Yes BUT they need to drive home that the reason the DEMS are fixing these problems is because the GOP willfully created them, and will do so again if given a chance.

Republicans are passing voter-suppression laws state by state. Has one shown up where you live? Not as far as I know. I am in a Blue state and track each of my ballots. It works very well and I haven't notice any suspicious activity; though I wouldn't be surprised if there were some surreptitious activity out there.

Sandy S's avatar

We will be fighting to keep our mail in ballots here in Washington state. We have had it for years with almost no fraudulent voting. Like less than 10 in any presidential election. And most of those were relatives filing dead relative's ballots. We have to show 3 pieces of proof of residency including either a drivers license or a state id, a utility bill, and either a rental agreement or home ownership record. Of course such things as birth certificates and passports are accepted, too. We are also fighting this administration to keep our state's voters role out of their hands!

Jane Ward's avatar

Say YES to Wes everywhere. Since NC is largely Red, I am not aware of voter suppression.

Peggy Freeman's avatar

Yes, absolutely, what Gov. Wes Moore did in Maryland should be a blueprint for every state! If the federal government takes away funds for child-care help, the states can give them back to their citizens! If the federal government tries to buy up land in any state for their stupid data centers, the states can put forth the Transit and Housing Opportunity Act to help their citizens with housing. If the CEOs and the federal government think they can make consumers pay for their 'costs' for running utilities and data centers, the states can pass the Utility Relief Act forcing them to pay their own costs instead of trying to pass it on to the consumer. WooHoo! Way to go, Gov. Moore! Since I live in Florida, I am certain there will be plenty of issues about voting. It is a deeply red state and the magas outnumber the Democrats and Independents. That will not stop me from fighting and resisting every single day! Keep fighting, America! Stay strong and stay safe!

Brenda Doherty's avatar

Scott, I live in Florida so of course DeSantis has attempted to suppress the vote.

Deb Chrystal's avatar

Yes, Dem Gov should all pass similar bills!

I think an attempt at voter restriction in NC is requiring a “witness” beyond your spouse to sign mail in ballot.

As a poll worker I love some form of ID so I spell your name correctly to find you, but a darn library card would do!!!

Patti Scott's avatar

The cost of living reliefs Wes Moore signed are good but once again, it’s hard to pay for these things without taxes from the billionaires! So we need to work on both fronts. I’m not aware of voter suppression in Huntington Beach but I haven’t been here that long. But I see it in so many areas of the country!

Bravo to Gov Moore! All states should follow this playbook - do what the federal gov't refuses to do.

There is tons of voter suppression here in NC. We are gerrymandered to the hilt, oversight of elections was taken from the Gov and given to GOP state court. They turned over voter rolls to Chump. Just infuriating........

ALL data centers should have to pay for their own water and electricity. WTH?!

Wis's avatar

Data centers should be outlawed until they can be built in the frigid environment of outer space. Period. There is no justifiable, sane argument for them on this planet. We want to be more and more sustainable - not kill the whole planet in less time than it takes to graduate with a bachelors degree.

James Vander Poel's avatar

Thank you, Scott. Some good news for a change. And from a judge in New Hampshire, no less. Made my day.

Paul savin's avatar

I live in NJ so I have not heard of any voter suppression going on here, but the Delaney Hall stuff is horrific. This regime won't stop until we stop them. They are feeding people moldy and putrid food. And some of the people they put in there are kids. These people are just sick. Our governor needs to do MUCH more. Hell they pepper sprayed one of our Senators, Andy Kim, the other day.

I am just waiting for the day the pendulum swings and these people get what they deserve. A vacation to prison.

Wis's avatar

(I’m hoping for worse than prison. Treason, war crimes, crimes against humanity: I’m no expert, but I think the sentences for such things are worse than prison. 🤞)
