Lisa Rein has a good piece in The Washington Post about Montana’s history of split-ticket voting could be the key factor in helping Governor Steve Bullock (D. MT) defeat U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R. MT): Montanans, stubbornly independent, like to split tickets. And Bullock, a lawyer who narrowly won reelection to the governor’s mansion in…

Received this e-mail today from Jon Ossoff’s (D. GA) U.S. Senate campaign: Last week's election in Georgia proved Republican officials will do anything to suppress the Constitutional rights of black voters in America. Georgia's voting system is set up to fail by design in minority communities, and this is a shameless assault on our democracy….
Trump's excuse for not voting in person is, of course, a lie
Donald Trump sees fraud everywhere because he is, at root, a fraud. Cheaters always suspect their significant others of cheating. Thieves worry about getting ripped off. Con men think everyone else is a grifter, too. Liars think no one in the universe is fundamentally honest. This is just how psychopaths roll. And if Donald Trump isn’t…

We already know why Donald Trump hates the idea of mail-in voting. If citizens can easily exercise their right to vote, Republicans won’t do so well.

Received this e-mail today from Mike Espy’s (D. MS) U.S. Senate campaign: What happened in Wisconsin this week was a disgrace to our democracy.

We have to expand mail-in voting. But . . . let's be frank about a real problem.
Expanding our voting-by-mail procedures is an absolute imperative and a moral no-brainer in the midst of a national pandemic. I also am completely unsurprised that President Trump and federal and state Republican leaders are increasingly not just opposing such a common-sense measure, but demonizing it and falsely associating it with their untrue claims of wide-spread voter…
