It’s Election Day.

We roll into Tuesday with the Trump administration having been dealt a series of stinging defeats in its attempts to meddle in the election, from district courts up to the Supreme Court. The administration had a brief victory on Monday night that was nearly immediately vacated.

We’ll be keeping an eye out today, as voters go to the polls, for further efforts to undermine the results. And then we’ll be cataloging those results as they come in.

  1. It still isn’t illegal, but this does not look good at the moment.

    In the summer of 2025, a staffer for Mary Peltola, the Alaska Democrat who was eyeing a run for Senate, received unusual instructions from top campaign aides: Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.

    Based on “interviews and emails”. So maybe, maybe not. Needs to be looked at.

  2. Caravans of Canadians!! You can smell the maple syrup from Kansas City!! So nasty!! They’re all wearing denim jackets stuffed with Chinese bamboo ballots filled in for Democrats!! They’re setting up roadblocks on the highways and only letting white guys pass if they can name a dozen contestants on RuPaul’s Drag Race!!

    A little further into the article:

    “Ballot-stacking tactics are common in politics and generally considered legal — and have been employed by both parties in Alaska.”

    The NYT is offended, I guess, that Democrats would use the same legal dirty tricks that get Republicans elected. I don’t really care.

  4. WHO CARES, Its not illegal!!!

    Shady- yes.

    Illegal - how?

    The Incumbent Senator has the word “INCUMBENT” next to his name.

    Correct?

  5. Is there a point at which the federal government can be liable for damages for wasting states’ time and resources?
