What is the focus on Israel and Jewish identity in U.S. politics? There are people suffering and dying in wars in Ukraine and Palestine, oppression is widespread, living costs have skyrocketed, and children are facing hunger. Yet, politicians seem more interested in throwing away millions of dollars, promoting rallies with corrupt celebrities rather than addressing these pressing issues.
Fuck off US.
What is an "improperly cast" ballot? How would they know who cast it?A new Supreme Court case could change the result of the presidential election
Republicans ask the Supreme Court to disenfranchise thousands of Pennsylvania voters.
On October 23, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that many voters who cast a mailed-in ballot improperly, thus rendering their vote “void,” should be allowed to cast a ballot on Election Day that will actually be counted. Though it’s hard to pin down exactly how many voters will be impacted by this decision, it’s likely that thousands of Pennsylvanians will regain their ability to vote in the November election if the state supreme court’s decision remains in effect.
The case, which was known as Genser v. Butler County Board of Elections when it was decided by the state supreme court, involves a genuinely difficult legal question that required the state’s justices to resolve a conflict between two competing legal principles. It split them 4-3, with four Democrats forming the majority and two Republicans and one Democrat in dissent.
On Monday, the Republican Party asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and effectively disenfranchise the thousands of voters who will be allowed to vote if the state court’s Genser decision stands. That alone is a very big deal. If the 2024 presidential election is very close, as is expected, and if victory comes down to which candidate wins Pennsylvania, a US Supreme Court decision in favor of the GOP could flip the winner of this election from Kamala Harris to Donald Trump. (Although more Republicans are expected to vote by mail than in 2020, Democrats likely still have an advantage with this cohort.)
But this case could also have massive implications for US democracy that extend far beyond the 2024 election, even if Harris wins in a landslide.

No he won’t if he’s still alive he will do a Putin and change it to stay in power.Tbh having lived through one trump presidency that didn't really change anything here I'm not excited at the prospect of another. If he wins he'll have his term and disappear.
And corrupt SCOTUS would find some textual reason why the constitution permitted this.No he won’t if he’s still alive he will do a Putin and change it to stay in power.
“Improperly” has many meanings when it comes to MAGA.What is an "improperly cast" ballot? How would they know who cast it?
In the UK, the only intervention is that if someone gets their identification wrong (mistake on date of birth or a signature that looks way off the one on the application for a postal vote) they can now be told, but no-one checks that the voting paper is OK until the day of the count and it's already just one of many in the ballot box.
These purges often just cover every name from an area likely to contain a majority of Democratic voters such as black people, students etc.“Improperly” has many meanings when it comes to MAGA.
And you can do it “improperly” even before you cast a ballot, so many people just need to be prevented from voting entirely, just in case.
Virginia voter purge ensnares eligible American citizens
Nadra Wilson of Lynchburg, Va., was concerned and confused when she received a letter in the mail from local election officials notifying her that her U.S. citizenship was in question.
The notice said she needed to affirm she was a U.S. citizen within 14 days or her voter registration would be canceled. It was first sent to an old address and then was forwarded. By the time Wilson received it in October, the deadline had passed.
But Wilson was puzzled by the letter. "I was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. — I'm a citizen," Wilson said in an interview with NPR before showing her American passport as proof.
