@Natalie81620932 Yes!We’re finally seeing trust that women are just as(or more than,in some cases)capable and as men to hold positions of political power and responsibility. It seems the entire world is experiencing the rise of feminine energy and noting its strenth has been ignored for too long.

@ByBaileyBritton I like that this article mentions the high level of qualification these women have to fill the positions they’ve been given. It highlight the Biden administration is looking to fill positions based on qualification, and not overwhelmingly on perceieved capability based on gender.

This article explains that while we’re seeing a rise of women in politics, the fact that we continue to see so many “firsts” and monumental moments for women year after year indicates women still face an overwhelmingly sexist political environment. https://t.co/mcMTCKlKDM

#mc576 Voters are reported to be going the extra mile to make sure their voice is heard during what for many is a make-or-break, exhausting election.

#mc576 According to @NPR, @AP has called Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island for Biden. Election evening continues to move slowly as states begin to close their polling places — delays in counting are much expected.

significantly delayed. https://t.co/dl1WfPWQyI

#mc576 According to @Newsweek, many swing states, like Texas, Georgia and more have extended the closing time of their polls due to technical issues that caused delays in voter flow earlier today. This adds even more of an edge to an election with results already likely to be -

#mc576 Many voters this year (myself included) can be spotted showing off their “I voted” stickers on social media to remind others to vote. Even in the midst of a pandemic, Americans are recognizing the impact of this election and setting out to exercise their voting rights.

[Danielle Cook @danielle_ksumc]

#mc576 Here, we see rising attempts to keep voters home on #ElectionDay. Advocacy for voting and voters’ rights already sees a victory during this pivotal election, though, with record numbers in advance voter turnout in several states.

NOTICE: We are receiving reports of robocalls telling voters to stay home. Disregard these calls. If you have not already voted, today is the day! Polls in Kansas close at 7:00 p.m. local time.

@enbylalanne This is awesome! I feel like all of the tools available to voters today are a great step toward prioritizing the preservation of democracy and helping people — no matter who they are — feel like their vote matters! #mc576

interesting choice for FLOTUS, who tested positive for coronavirus in September, on #ElectionDay .

#mc576 As reported by NPR in this article, Melania Trump was photographed maskless, casting her ballot in Palm Beach, Fla. this morning. Reportedly, she was the only person at the polling place not wearing a face covering, despite Palm Beach County’s mask mandate. An -

@JacobCa576 a lot on Instagram today about simply going out and voting in general, so it might be about using any air time for persuasion, while using other platforms to encourage voting.

[Danielle Cook @danielle_ksumc]

@JacobCa576 Agreed. I think it’s interesting that they’re using their time on Election Day in this way. However, I do understand the point, as there may be many undecided voters or people registered as Independent, whose minds still aren’t made up, even today. I’ve seen Biden posting -

Posts, like this one from Instagram, which includes a link to platform’s Voter Information Center, have been circulating across social media and the Internet to promote the empowerment of voters, especially those who are most likely to face attempts of voter suppression.

[Danielle Cook @danielle_ksumc]

#mc576 As this election is considered high stakes, many, individuals and organizations, alike, have taken to social media over the last few days to spread awareness for voters’ rights and to remind voters of other important policies and information. https://t.co/r593WU0xWi

@SwoopeCheyenne This is an interesting article — I like that it outlines a few ways that one campaign has reached out to young voters and explains that there are many more ways that could take effect, as well.

[Danielle Cook @danielle_ksumc]

#mc576 This article outlines the difference in planned young voter turnout between this election and the last — it also explores the surprising no. 1 issue young voters report that their vote will concern. https://t.co/srVPZmoNhc
