Could the Trump administration block you from voting by mail this November? I discussed that prospect today on Fox: https://t.co/yBXvcmu4XE @VotebeatUS story here: https://t.co/qXVB476msy

Interesting story from a University of Pennsylvania study: voting is associated with a longer life.

Whoa! Everyone had assumed Alabama would get to go back to its old congressional map after Callais. But the lower court that originally struck down that map says, not so fast.

@Commish_Schmidt @SpotlightPA Not just me! Although one of these things is not like the others

@KyleSammin Throwback Thursday

[Carter Walker @ByCarterWalker]

Still some in Allegheny too, which the county told me was due to poll workers forgetting to remove the data sticks from the machines at the end of the night and that they would be uploaded this week. I’d suspect a similar story in Philly.

[Kyle Sammin @KyleSammin]

None of these elections are in doubt or anything, but it is crazy to me that there are still four polling places in Philly not reporting. It's been a day and a half!

[Carter Walker @ByCarterWalker]

@KyleSammin I hadn’t thought you did, but yeah it can be confusing 2 days later!

icymi — We revived a Clout classic yesterday, asking Philly pols three election day questions, with some interesting responses to 'Who are your top 2 picks for the 2028 Democratic nomination?'

We’re going to have plenty to talk about in the next edition of our Pennsylvania elections newsletter. And of course there is the aforementioned double banana, which I am happy to say you all met the threshold for. Sign up here: https://t.co/AbSB3YWO9H

We're at 993 subscribers. If we can hit 1,000 by the end of the week I'll include a photo in the next edition of me as a kid super excited to find two bananas in one peel. Trust me it's fascinating and you'll want to see it.

In Pennsylvania your county is listed on the ballot. In the GOP primary for Lt. Gov., John Ventre received 74% of the vote in his home county of Westmoreland, and a majority in four bordering counties. Losing the statewide vote by 30 points. (map from nytimes)
