Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Wow. The law practically prevents most homeless people from voting and allows officials an excuse to strike anyone they feel like from the voter rolls as long as it's not more than 45 days before the election.

And this is the guy who wouldn't help Trump falsify an election win.

He wouldn’t help trump find votes. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t systematically prevent votes from being counted, as long as that’s legal of course. Morals, ya know?

It's not antidemocratic if it's planned in advance, then it's just sparkling fascism.

  • Defined "probable causes" for removing voters from the rolls, such as death, registering in another jurisdiction, primary residence tax exemptions elsewhere, or a non-residential address.
  • Allowed voter roll challenges up to 45 days before an election, which might conflict with federal laws regarding systematic changes within 90 days of a federal election.
  • Required homeless people to use county voter registration offices as their address.
  • Removed the Secretary of State from the ex-officio spot on the State Election Board.
  • Stopped the use of QR codes for counting ballots from July 1, 2026, moving instead to text or human-readable marks.
  • Mandated counties to report all absentee ballot results within an hour after polls close.
  • Permitted the use of paper ballots in elections with fewer than 5,000 registered voters starting in 2025.
