Independent Voter

We’ve been called liberals. Undercover Republicans. Progressives. Socialists. Communists. Libertarians. And even Anarchists. And they’re all true.

They swore an oath to defend the Constitution. Not a political party.

Yet thousands of New York veterans are barred from voting in taxpayer-funded primaries because they refuse to join one.

Now, veterans are fighting back in federal court.

AP may play it too safe to call, but @IVN called it a week ago. And the count is going exactly the way we predicted.

Alaska Measure 2 is going to fail, and it is going to be the strongest pro-reform mandate from voters yet.

Independent candidates lost their races. But did their ideas win?

Lower costs. Fight corruption. Challenge party bosses.

IVN author Matt Shinners writes that independents built the 2026 playbook. Democrats rode it to victory.

With the new batch of votes in Alaska, there is still about a quarter of the vote uncounted, but as we predicted on @IVN, the "No" vote on Ballot Measure 2 is increasing its majority.

Trump says Alaska Senate race is over and votes for Daniel J Sullivan and Gerald Heikes should go to the incumbent.

But 26% of the vote remains uncounted and RCV shows who voters really prefer. My latest on @IVN.

Independents are shaping democracy.

This is a Dealignment.

@JohnAnzo is correct and has been keenly prescient all year. Listen to him - if Democrats want to keep Latinos focus on the economy.

[Shawn Griffiths @ThatShawnG]

"Decoy Dan" didn't confuse voters in Alaska. If anything, the votes he got were protests and "for the laughs."

And, early data shows ranked choice voting worked as intended.

According to new analysis making its rounds on this app, 21 Republican state senators in Indiana saved their party from further embarrassment.

And party leaders primaried 6 of them as a reward.

BREAKING NEWS: While votes are still being counted in Alaska and the race looks close, based on historical voting patterns and current voting trends, IVN is confident in its projection that Ballot Measure 2 will fail.

Once again, Alaska voters rejected the effort to repeal nonpartisan open primaries, ranked choice voting, and certain campaign finance disclosure rules.

And just like that, IVN can project that Missouri voters not only rejected an attempt by the state legislature to adopt a new congressional map.

BUT they have also strengthened the citizen initiative process. IVN has this story and more in our LIVE election coverage!

After examining the voting trends and looking at the returns in individual counties, IVN projects that Massachusetts Question 3, the nonpartisan Top Two open primary measure, will be defeated.

But there are a dozen fronts where reform is on the ballot in one way or another this election. Check out the LIVE updates on IVN.

Update on the independent vets running for Senate:

Dan Osborn is running ahead of Republican incumbent Pete Ricketts as of now in Nebraska. And most likely among the 6 Indy vets to win.

If he wins this will be a top story of the night.

Could we see an independent win in Nebraska?

While no returns have been released, IVN author Matt Shinners reports that bettors on Kalshi are responding to the national political climate, and they really like Osborn's chances.

Most of the networks aren’t covering independent candidates and reforms on ballots nationwide. @ivn is:

[Shawn Griffiths @ThatShawnG]

Decision Desk projects that Rep. Kathy Castor will win re-election in FL-14, despite an attempt to redraw her district to favor the GOP.

FL-14 was on my list of 8 districts where the mid-cycle gerrymandering gamble could backfire. #Election2026

We are in the final hours of voting.

Previously, I reported on what could be the most dishonest ad of 2026 coming out of the Ballot Measure 2 campaign in Alaska.

As of today, the ad is still being posted as the campaign tries to undo voter-approved election reforms.
