@SeamusHughes How about this one? A town called Street. It’s like an Abbott and Costello bit when you try to explain it to people.

Processing mail ballots takes a long time, and the county wanted to purchase new high-speed equipment. Now that's on hold. wfmz.com/news/area/berk…

Interesting local consequence of the SAVE America Act: The bill has little chance of passing the Senate, but in Berks County, PA, the county is delaying the purchase of new mail ballot processing equipment until the debate is settled. Story in next post.

Missed this the other day: An NPR/PBS/Marist poll found that only 31% of Americans think it's acceptable for people to bet on elections. maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/upl…

Along with requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, the bill would require states to use a federal tool to find & remove noncitizens on their voter rolls. That tool, @zachdespart & I found, often inaccurately marks citizens as noncitizens: propublica.org/article/save-v…

The Senate is planning to open debate on the SAVE America Act today.
It probably won't pass, unless something changes.
So what's next? I explored that in this piece for @VotebeatUS

Swoboda said that Heap has “no business canceling anybody,” reiterating that she did not believe he was following proper procedures.
“They’re going to sue the shit out of him,” she said.

NEW: Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap identified potential noncitizen voters last month via an unreliable database. Now, he plans to change their registration status to "not eligible" — but he may be using the wrong process to do so. Read: votebeat.org/arizona/2026/0…

“It would be better if the midterms focused on the recovery of the economy and all the good things the Republican administration and Congress are doing to move the economy forward,” said Charlie Gerow.

Amid President Trump’s push for Congress to pass an elections-related bill known as the SAVE America Act, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) says, “I don't support, in its current state.”
“The president is constantly critical on mail-in voting. And that's ridiculous. It's safe,” Fetterman tells CBS News’ Major Garrett. “I can't ever vote for that, because I could never agree, something that's just not true.

NEW: AZ officials are warning counties not to disclose voter data amid FBI, DHS probes into the 2020 election.
Also: Senate President Warren Petersen says a grand jury is impaneled in state, records show HSI asking about a prior review of the election. votebeat.org/arizona/2026/0…

I asked @POTUS about the FBI reportedly seizing election records in Arizona. He said they must have done that because it was a “rigged” election. I pointed out to him that his own AG said there was not measurable voter fraud to overturn that election

Here at Votebeat, we write about punching bags, cookies, fluoride, and lanterns. Needless to say, we're a voting publication
Jessica Huseman@JessicaHuseman
Here's a weird one from @Hayley__Harding. There were candidate faces taped to punching bags in the Hamtramck elections' office. Then, 37 ballots were thrown out. Here's how that's connected. Also, hear from one of the featured faces. votebeat.org/michigan/2026/…

Just spotted @ScottPresler filing petition signatures to run for Pennsylvania's Republican State Committee. If successful, he'd represent a district in Beaver County.
Presler declined to chat when I asked him about the SAVE America Act.

NEW: The FBI subpoenaed the Arizona Senate for records related to its review of the 2020 election in Maricopa County.
The county itself wasn't subpoenaed. That suggests the FBI obtained records that were largely already public.
But, it may have received ballot images. Read ⬇️

The news comes several weeks after the agency searched an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, for records tied to the 2020 election, which Trump has long falsely insisted was stolen from him. votebeat.org/arizona/2026/0…

As I wrote a few days ago for @VotebeatUS (link in next post), restrictions on mail-in ballots are not currently in the SAVE America Act.
(as far as I know, numbers four and five aren't, either, but I didn't write about that)

This echoes what the president has posted on social media. Note that the version of the bill that passed the House and is pending in the Senate did not include those restrictions on mail-in ballots, or language on trans issues.

7/7 And on Texas GOP Senate race, President Trump said he will make a "decision fairly shortly" but that he wants "to have the full and complete Save America Act (which Includes trans issues now) “We have to have voter ID. We have to have proof of citizenship We have to have no mail in ballots except the military, illness, disability and travel. We have to have no men in women's sports - I added two things, and we have to have no transgender operations for youth.”
