Good news in voting rights coming out of Montana! 🎉
Yesterday, the Montana Supreme Court struck down four major voter suppression laws passed in 2021, which:
🔹Eliminated same-day voter registration in most cases
🔹Made it more difficult to vote with a student ID
🔹Outlawed absentee ballots for new voters who would turn 18 by Election Day
🔹Banned paid ballot collection and reduced other forms of ballot return assistance
The Court’s decision is a MAJOR victory for Montana voters, specifically Native American voters, young voters, and voters with disabilities who would be disproportionately impacted by these laws.

"New Mexico will establish a permanent absentee voter list and remove barriers to voting on tribal lands under sweeping legislation signed into law Thursday [March 30, 2023] by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
The measure also will automate voter registration during certain Motor Vehicle Division transactions and more quickly restore the voting rights of people exiting prison after a felony conviction. It was supported this year by Democratic legislative leaders and Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, after a similar measure died in the final moments of the 2022 session amid a GOP filibuster...
Republican lawmakers fiercely opposed the bill this year, too, contending automatic voter registration and other measures aren't necessary in a state that already allows same-day registration. But advocates of the legislation, House Bill 4, celebrated Thursday [March 30, 2023] as Lujan Grisham signed the bill during a ceremony at the Capitol with Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver; House Speaker Javier Martínez, D-Albuquerque; and others.
Native American leaders described it as critical step toward protecting the voting rights of people on tribal land, especially those without a traditional mailing address. [More details in/moved to the last key point!]
In a signing ceremony at the Capitol, Lujan Grisham said the legislation would serve as a template for other states. "We want to send a message to the rest of the country — that this is what voting access and protection should look like," the governor said...
Absentee voting: Sign up once
The legislation calls for a permanent absentee voter list to be available in time for the 2024 elections. Voters could sign up once to get absentee ballots mailed to them before every statewide election. People on the list would also get notices mailed to them seven weeks before Election Day. Any election-related mail returned to the county clerk as undeliverable would trigger the voters' removal from the absentee list.
Automated voter registration
Automatic voter registration during some transactions at MVD [DMV] offices — such as when a person presents documents proving citizenship while applying for a driver's license — would begin in July 2025. Newly registered voters would be told they've been added to the voter rolls and that they'll get a postcard in the mail allowing them to decline the registration. For MVD customers already registered to vote, their address would be updated in the voting rolls if they renew their driver's license with a different address.
Restoration of rights
The legislation will restore the voting rights of felons when they leave custody rather than after they complete probation or parole. Inmates would be granted the chance to register or update their registration before release. The Sentencing Project, an advocacy group, estimated the measure will restore the voting rights of more than 11,000 citizens.
New holiday
The bill makes Election Day a school holiday.
Drop boxes
The legislation requires each county to have at least two secured, monitored boxes for people to drop off absentee ballots. State election officials are empowered to waive the requirement or grant requests for additional containers, depending on the circumstances of each county.
Native American voting
The proposal establishes a Native American Voting Rights Act.
[Moved here from earlier in the article]
The measure requires collaboration with pueblos, nations and tribes on establishing polling places, early voting locations and precinct boundaries. It also allows members to register to vote or receive absentee ballots at official tribal buildings — a necessity, supporters said, for residents who don't receive mail at home. "It is truly monumental reform," said Ahtza Chavez, executive director of NM Native Vote and a member of the Kewa Pueblo and Diné Nation. "It requires collaboration with tribes at all levels.""

was looking for that tumblr post about how it's your civic duty to vote but it had a typo so it said "cock duty", but I couldn't find it so I gave up and typed "cock duty" into tumblr search, and wouldn't you know it, our beloved hellsite parsed that as "call of duty" but somehow managed to keep the spirit of "cock duty", and so specifically only showed me call of duty posts having to do with cocks
it gave me a mountain of call of duty porn is what I'm saying. written and visual. including posts about what people want to do to various call of duty characters, specifically re: their cocks
I love this website
anyway, if you find the actual "cock duty" post please let me know; it's election day and I want to reblog it before the polls close

Digging up old art so Smol Essek can give a timely reminder to my fellow US folks! Yes, the power structures in this country seem entrenched and it sometimes feels like our votes are futile, but we can’t Leave The World Better with apathy. We gotta try.
Not sure who to vote for? Go to vote411.org and enter your address to see your races and candidates. Looking at endorsements is a fast and easy way to cut through word salad campaign talk and get a read on whether or not a candidate aligns with your views on the issues!
Also, don’t sleep on your local and judicial races! Most of the folks out showing their crazy on a state/national level got their start as members of city council or your local school board. Cockblock the crazy at the local level so they don’t get a foot in the door!

I just want to point out in this time where I'm losing all faith in this government there are people who aren't afraid to condemn genocide and the US government for being complicit and funding it

Rashida Tlaib is Palestinian-American and this entire month her colleagues and zionists have constantly put her down for defending her people and heritage, and I admire her strength in speaking up and remaining the voice of the people, especially when everyone else is too cowardly to say anything else
