Utah was one of only a few red states to allow universal vote-by-mail, but not anymore. @bolts’s Alex Burness writes about how the Republican-controlled legislature is about to get rid of the practice, which has been in place since 2019, and is imposing new restrictions on absentee voting too.

Good satire:

“So, no, I’m not ‘happy now’ that our zoo has been turned into an open-air animal mausoleum. But of the options I had, only one mayor promised to completely change the city. And you know what? At least he is doing something. It may kill a lot of people. It may leave others without homes or jobs. But I respect a man of action, regardless of what that action is and whether or not it’s going to make things better or worse.”

McSweeney's Internet TendencyVoting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the CityIt’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against...

Are you a #woman? Do you marry someone and change your #name? Republicans would like you to know that they don’t think you should be able to vote. If the #SAVE act passes, your driver’s license or REAL ID, isn’t good enough if your name doesn’t match your birth certificate. There are no provisions to allow for legal name changes for any reason, probably to punish trans people. But it means that up to 30% of American women will lose the right to vote with no recourse but legally changing their name back to their birth certificate name. ( Having once changed my name after a divorce, I can tell you that it is an absolute nightmare of bureaucracy. I’m not looking forward to the expense and hassle again.)

The gop hate women, they have always hated women, and why women continue to associate with them has baffled me for many decades.

Newsweek · Married women could be stopped from voting under SAVE ActThe act could affect whether married women without passports are able to register to vote.

🆘🚨⚠️Via Summit Treya: “I am reposting this at top level for improved visibility. Please share with your networks. The SAVE act is a veiled attempt to disenfranchise married women voters. It just passed the House. It is likely to pass the Senate. If you got married and did not go to court to legally change the name on your birth certificate, you will not be allowed to vote in Federal Elections, unless you have a passport with your current name you can use as ID. /1 🧵

🚨New article 👀

In "Voting green or right-wing populist: Ideological poles of a new cleavage?", Clara Dilger shows that the cleavage between green- and right-wing populist voters does not extend across all attitudes, nor countries, suggesting green and right-wing populist parties are not always complete opposites.

"In 1956, I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no “two evils” exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say."
