Florida counted nearly 2.8 million mail ballots by midnight Tuesday.

So "we mostly vote by mail!" can't possibly be an excuse for California and Arizona.

What is it, then? Why are these states not bothered by their failure to timely count votes when a clear solution exists?
And this isn't a Republican or Democratic issue. #FL23 Rep. Moskowitz (D) recently defended Florida's process against a Trump (R) tirade. Dems don't benefit from California taking a week to do what Florida does in a day. No minority group interests are harmed by faster counting.
And Arizona has had a GOP trifecta for 14 years! For all of Kari Lake's bluster about the 2020 election, there's been shockingly little interest by AZ R's in reforming how their state counts. A timely, accurate count would eliminate fraud fears among all except the true crazies.

A week late, but let's do a thread on the Alabama VRA case and what it might mean for redistricting in 2024. The Supreme Court is expected to reinterpret the VRA--one way or another--next spring, and the Court's new guidelines will change the way states approach redistricting. 1/
Earlier this year, a lower court ordered Alabama to redraw its map (left), which has had one Black-majority district since 1992. Plaintiffs convinced the court that the VRA required Alabama to draw two Black-majority seats (right, for one example). 2/ ImageImage
SCOTUS has long had a 3-factor test (the "Gingles factors") to determine when a VRA district is required:

1. A compact district can be drawn that is at least 50%+1 of a min. group
2. The minority is politically cohesive
3. Whites bloc vote to defeat minorities' candidates

Gun safety activist Maxwell Alejandro Frost has expanded his lead in safely blue #FL10. 76% of estimated vote in, he's beating state Sen. Randolph Bracy 34-25; ex-Reps. Alan Grayson and Corrine Brown at 16 and 10.
#FL11 is TIGHT. 71% of estimated vote in, Webster leads Loomer 47.8-47.7, margin of 95 VOTES.
Two of #FL11's four counties, Orange and Polk, aren't reporting anything. If Loomer's strength is confided to The Villages, gives Webster breathing room. If not ...

1. Drama en TikTok; un enorme Trump en pañales; una candidata en uniforme militar con metralleta en mano; mascarillas; gel desinfectante y voto por correo, adelantado y tradicional. Todo eso y mucho más se ha visto en las primarias de Florida.
Abro hilo🧵🗳️

2. El estado soleado eligió a los candidatos que lucharán por los puestos del Congreso, tanto a nivel nacional como estatal, así como para los puestos de alcalde, de jueces de condado, de miembros de la junta escolar y hasta de sheriffs, entre otros.
3. Hoy me centro en las primarias para la Cámara Baja de EEUU. FL está representada por 27 congresistas, uno por cada distrito.
En 2 distritos los republicanos no tienen rivales ni en su partido ni en el demócrata.
En otros 4 ya están decididos los candidatos de cada partido.

Now that we have the majority of the results from last night’s primaries, what are the next race progressive are looking at?

On August 18 there will be primaries in Alaska, Florida, and Wyoming. While these states are fairly red they are interesting and we could get some wins.
Note: These are just congressional candidates (there could be many state candidates who are not included).

Alaska this year has gone from a “Safe GOP” state to “Lean GOP” across the board, meaning it’s going to be pretty competitive.
For Alaska Senate we’re backing Al Gross. While Gross may not be a perfect progressive he is a strong candidate who could flip the seat and be an ally to progressives in the Senate (certainly worth looking at his campaign and platform).

1/ Per Jen Perelman bit.ly/3eqRBkF @JENFL23 --"Voters in our district [FL23] who just received a campaign mailer from Debbie Wasserman Schultz this weekend were very perplexed by what they saw and so was I.
@JENFL23 2/ For 28 years, Debbie’s[DWS] campaign branding colors have been red and black. Yet for some reason, she chose PURPLE as her primary ad color this time.--Per Jen Perelman bit.ly/3eqRBkF @JENFL23 --

Purple just happens to be our primary branding color:
@JENFL23 3/ This is yet another underhanded & unethical campaign tactic employed to ‘confuse’ voters when they’re at the polls.--Per Jen Perelman bit.ly/3eqRBkF @JENFL23 --

If that’s not enough, the hypocrisy within the mailer is even worse:

1/ Per Jen Perelman jen2020.com @JENFL23 – “From Day 1, our 100% grassroots funded, people-powered campaign for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 23rd has been strictly about the issues.
@JENFL23 2/ Per Jen Perelman jen2020.com @JENFL23 We decided to jump into this race so we could address and serve the unmet needs that so many of our constituents told us they were facing under the leadership, or lack thereof, from my opponent Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
@JENFL23 3/ Per Jen Perelman jen2020.com @JENFL23 We just learned from a potential voter researching candidates that her team resorted to an underhanded tactic known as “Domain Grabbing,” or “cybersquatting.”

I'll be following @MichaelCohen212 testimony until our panel on impeachment w/ @ronfein and former Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman, 12:30 @FordhamLawNYC.
I posted this thread last night on Cohen's prepared remarks. They are damaging, but need detail and corroboration today. 1/
2/ Some big picture points.
Trump has submitted answers to Mueller, and if he lied, that's felony false statement. On Roger Stone/Wikileaks, Cohen's testimony conflicts w/ Trump's statements, I indicated last night. But the problem is corroboration.
3/ Just now: CNN interview w/ Congressman Connolly: Russia conspiracy questions are now fair game, because Cohen opened that door deliberately in his prepared remarks.
