I was wrong that the utility of this platform was still greater than the harm it was doing to our country. I’ll delete my account whenever my archive is ready.

If Pennsylvania doesn’t turn out to be particularly close, don’t be that surprised.

A friend in Sweden says Pennsylvania is the main television news topic on all the channels. (I’m not particularly sure I want this for us.)

If Harris wins Pennsylvania, your default assumption should be that it’s a result of an incredible turnout effort. https://twitter.com/CokerMD/status/1853865092846125340

60 voters in 41 minutes in Cedar Park, West Philadelphia. The line is long, but everyone’s happy to be here. #PhillyVotes

In states like Pennsylvania where all ballots MUST be received by 8:00 pm Tuesday, the outcome is set when the polls close. We just won't know what it is until we count all the votes, and the order we count them in or how long it takes doesn't change that result at all.

If you're planning to vote in person in Philadelphia tomorrow, plan for long lines when the polls open and for the first few hours, and again after 5:00 pm. My best guess as to the quickest times to vote: mid-morning and mid-afternoon.

Obviously you have a right to a provisional. But being "turned away at the polls" could mean a lot of things, including that you're at the wrong polling place. If pollworkers aren't helpful in directing you to where you need to be, check your registration on your state's website. https://t.co/tR...

I don’t hate the idea of ID requirements to vote in U.S. elections, but my starting premise is that they can’t prevent any adult citizen who wants to vote from voting, & in my experience many voter ID proponents see preventing some adult citizens from voting as part of the point.

Noncitizens don’t vote in our elections, because why would they? No rational person would risk prison or deportation so that some politician can get one more vote. It would be like breaking into a helium plant to fill up a balloon. https://twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1853235738013258006

The next sentence, which the people who are gleefully RTing this won’t see:

This would by no means solve all of our problems, but it would solve… some of them? https://twitter.com/politvidchannel/status/1852361201969447343

I am surprised though, the way I’d be surprised if you told me George Magazine endorsed Trump. https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1852470827654201406

If you were designing a political system and constitution from scratch in the 21st century, I think you would try to figure out a way to keep this from happening.

Pretty clear Trump was calling Liz Cheney a chickenhawk who would not enjoy being on the front lines in a war. Pretty clear Biden was only calling the rally comedian's rhetoric "garbage." Both men are extremely old and increasingly bad at saying what they mean extemporaneously.

The thing that gets me is a guy with his resources and influence who truly cared about voting security would be in touch with all of these election administrators to understand and learn about their state’s processes. He hasn’t done that at all, so what are we left to conclude? https://t.co/2mXc...
