"To assume that you can make scandalous remarks and slander the protesters is extremely unfortunate." Political analyst @JhaSanjay accuses the right-wing ecosystem of amplifying the controversy over Prashant Bhushan’s remarks, alleging a campaign of misinformation and disinformation against CJP and its supporters. #RegimeChange# #IndianPolitics# #Democracy# #BallotBox# #ConnaughtPlace# #TirangaRally# | @PreetiChoudhry

"BallotBot access improved participants' ability to answer in-depth questions, reduced overconfidence, lowered the perceived cost of acquiring information for less-informed participants, & fostered greater engagement with political information. However, it had no clear effect on self-reported turnout or the direction of voting."

Proud to cast my ballot earlier today in the Delaware primary election. American democracy begins and ends at the ballot box. There is no more important civic duty nor fundamental right to be defended. Voting defines our freedom and makes everything possible. Today, on National Voter Registration Day, I hope every American will take a moment to make sure you are registered, ensure your information is up to date, and make a plan to vote this November. Do it at The work to secure our democracy and protect our fundamental rights and freedoms is not over in this country. Each generation must join the work to preserve our democratic values and norms. Start today. Get engaged. And together, we'll ensure American democracy lasts another 250 years and beyond.

Water wars come to the ballot box in Arizona, racing to the top of voters’ concerns ahead of the midterm elections. Find out why on the Reuters World News podcast.

TRUMP JUST TRIED TO PUT FEDERAL AGENTS AT YOUR BALLOT BOX THROUGH THE MAIL INSTEAD A federal judge already saw this coming and slammed a restraining order on it before it could touch a single envelope That wasn't enough to stop him. Trump's DOJ ran straight to the Supreme Court asking nine justices to override the judge and let his new Postal Service rule control how your mail-in ballot gets handled weeks before the midterms The Supreme Court said no And Trump's response to being told no by his own handpicked court was to publicly attack the justices for not letting him touch the ballots Sit with that. He didn't accept the ruling. He didn't move on. He went after the institution that just stopped him from reaching into the mail-in voting system of an entire country Meanwhile the House is in open revolt over Iran, seven of his own Republicans crossed the aisle because the war he's running is now showing up in a CBO inflation report as a permanent tax on every grocery bill in America Same week. Same man. Losing control of his own party on a war he can't justify and losing control of the courts on an election he wants to shape He is not slowing down because he got told no twice in one week. He is escalating This is a president actively testing how much of the electoral system he can bend before someone with a gavel finally makes it stick The judge stopped it once. The Supreme Court stopped it once. Trump is still out there swinging This is only the beginning and he is not going to stop until something stops him for good
