@ThePolorBear Yes. And that was probably helpful in DC.

Just would like to point out we did this without a Zohron/Bernie/AOC endorsement.

With results now in from all eight wards in D.C., progressive Janeese Lewis George is running above the 50% threshold to trigger RCV. She's obliterating moderate Kenyan McDuffie in Ward 1 (AdMo/Columbia Heights), while McDuffie is winning only Ward 3 (Chevy Chase/Palisades).

@tome0806 @RonDeSantis Not according to the United States Supreme Court
English
@RonDeSantis Compacts between states without Congressional approval are also unconstitutional.
English
It’s not constitutional to nullify the electoral college through the back door.
Even so, imagine if presidential elections were purely a popular vote — we’d be waiting for a month for California to count the votes!
No thank you.

JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger officially signs a bill handing over Virginia’s 13 electoral votes to whoever wins the most votes across the whole country… even if Virginians vote the other way. Insane. They rushed it through with mostly Democrat votes. The plan has 222 votes. It needs 270 to actually start working. Once it does, your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore. The Founders made the Electoral College so a few big cities don’t boss the whole country. This is a sneaky Democrat power grab to cheat that. “Every vote counts the same”? Lies. Virginians are pissed off, and they should be. They got played.
English
@M9558750394349 @RonDeSantis By the way, this is a stupid comment, unless you are attacking the electoral college. Because you’re describing a fraudulent scheme that would get Virginia’s electoral votes in Virginia. Hard enough to do in one state and you want to scale it up nationally.
English
@RonDeSantis It would take just 23 illegal votes per polling place in 2024 for Harris to get Virginia's and other similar states electoral votes. Small time pervasive voter fraud would be easy and undetectable. No large plan needed just small time hive fraud activity.
English
@Tironianae “your vote in Virginia doesn’t matter anymore” — dumb talking point, especially for Virginia Republicans. Right now their votes mean little when a Democrat wins the vote and all the electoral college votes.
In a national popular vote, their vote will count as much as anybody’s.

@M9558750394349 @RonDeSantis Now imagine all the voter suppression in red states where voters are purged from the roles were otherwise denied their votes. Ballots tossed because of bogus signature comparisons. Other ballots sitting at the post office undelivered, etc.
And you’re worried about 2 dozen votes.
English
@smaxbrown @RonDeSantis I do have some concerns about election integrity under a popular vote scheme, because that would suddenly create huge incentives for more voter suppression in red states that are no longer competitive, but I think that’s solvable w/ uniform voting & election practices
English
@smaxbrown @RonDeSantis It’s certainly not foundational. And I don’t understand the rest of your statement. Not sure that it’s essential for election integrity, and it certainly doesn’t allow every state to engage in the process. Very few swing states determine the presidential result.
English
@Old_Guy_Bob @RonDeSantis “The Electoral College is the mechanism by which the 50 individual states unite.”
What the f* does that even mean??
The constitution is the mechanism by which 13 individual states were first united. Electoral college is just one piece of the constitution and can be overwritten.
English
@RonDeSantis The Electoral College is the mechanism by which the 50 individual states unite. Do away with it and we'll have to rename the country to The Uniparty of America. And that's exactly what these socialists want.
English
@eesavka @RonDeSantis The Supreme Court of the United States has said differently, and no seriously legal expert thinks that provision would bar the NPVIC.
English
@RonDeSantis The Constitution explicitly forbids states from doing exactly this: entering into compacts with each other.
English
@Yasseenkhaled12 @_sn_n @RonDeSantis Literally the opposite. When Virginia votes for a Democrat every four years, all the electoral votes go to the Democratic candidate. In a popular vote election, all those Republican votes will be totaled up with other votes around the country and could still help elect POTUS.
English
@_sn_n @RonDeSantis and what she is doing is not fascist?? throwing virginia voters in the bin
English
@We_are_the_wall @_sn_n @RonDeSantis Nobody certified fraudulent votes. They were recounted and audited, challenged in court before they were certified. There was never a state result that was so certainly correct as Georgia in 2020.
English
@_sn_n @RonDeSantis Pennsylvania broke their state constitution on that election. Georgia certified fraudulent votes. Both states should have had their votes nullified.
English
@RonDeSantis Count every vote! A prior GOP Gov. and Secy of State in your state, Florida, managed to block counting of every vote in a Presidential election. Our country has been in a world of shit ever since. And we probably lost the last best chance to save civilization from climate chaos.

@aaronsharp_athr @herculezg He kicked up a lot of spray there. Why was the field so wet?
English
@herculezg It almost looked like he didn't trust himself to not skip so he just went down onto his butt... Pitch is damp, so maybe, but still... That sucks. They earned the point, imo. They looked the better team through most of it.
English
It’s the final minutes of the game, and he’s drifting away from the goal. Not sure Jose Cordoba needs to leave his feet here.
Ouch. Panama was about to earn their first ever World Cup point. 🇵🇦
English
@Risk_Parody @jbillinson The DNC doesn’t need a football stadium. A basketball arena will do fine.
Personally, I think a stadium there to host the Jets and the Giants would’ve made some sense. And it would have been magnificent for a World Cup final and the Olympics, and a few Super Bowls. But not DNC.
English
@jbillinson How retarded do you have to be to think stadiums are used solely for football, especially in the biggest market in the world. You could've had the DNC there
English
What if we took a large plot of land in the most densely populated city in the country and used it for 8 football games a year
Spartan Mike (NYG)@SpartanMike96
Hot take: this is the greatest NFL stadium never built
English
@neerajadeshp Ahhh. The famous, independent voice and expert sensemaking of The Free Press.
English
me in DC when Spanberger won: ha-ha! all the Republicans who told me to move to VA are suburban stooges who don't understand the superiority of city life
me in DC when Janeese Lewis George wins: well, maybe Clarendon isn't that bad...
English
@milansingh03 @Henry_White1996 We found him!!! For years Progressive organizers have begged candidates and campaign managers to back off on campaign signs because “signs don’t vote.” But they steadfastly persist in the hope that somebody out there will be influenced by campaign signs. You have validated them.
English
@Henry_White1996 Was he bad? I voted for him because I saw his campaign signs but not any Schwalb signs
English
No matter how contentious the top of the ticket was, we all came together to tell Szymkowicz to get lost and I think that’s beautiful
English
@leedrutman This, by the way, is why I don’t like approval voting. There’s rarely two people buying for the same seat that I feel really get my approval. Certainly they’re not at the same level and I would resent giving them equally weighted votes.
English
DC voter here, voting in my first RCV election. I researched the candidates, and for each race, I only found one candidate I even felt mildly enthusiastic supporting. Anybody else feel that way?
English
@leedrutman That’s typical of most elections, but because the other voters have very different opinions than you, it’s hard to pull together a majority without ranked choice voting. Not impossible, but lots of people win races with pluralities only.
English
@UjuAnya Question for you: who are these people that you think need to see why DC needs statehood? And how will they suddenly be persuaded?
English
Now, when this democratic socialist Janeese Lewis tries to do things in DC like democratic socialist Mayor Mamdani is doing in new York and is blocked by Congress and the president, you’ll see why Washington, DC needs statehood.
