Blaming voter fraud for what happened in Texas is super convenient because it means we don’t have to take responsibility for anything.
Let’s not do this.

Seems like a stolen election memo attached to a manipulative graph likely went out today.
Stop, Susie. This is destroying America as well as any chance at getting real election integrity.

Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"
What cost the Kansas Republicans the governor’s mansion? Well part of it was the shift and blue turnout in these counties.

Please reject the grifters claiming voter fraud in Texas.
They’re doing it for clicks.
They’re doing it because they think you’re dumb enough to fall for it. But you’re not.
Voter fraud didn’t lose us Texas.
We did that ourselves.
We have to rebuild. And the grifters aren’t helping.

If you believe there is fraud, I’m open to it. But suggesting this is an example of it discredits the legitimate conversation.
The secretary of state’s county by county maps don’t give the full picture so I created this one to show the massive number of votes in the population center counties.
This map shows the 2026 Kansas governor's race with each county drawn as a circle instead of its actual shape. Each circle's size is based on how many people in that county voted for governor, so bigger circles mean more ballots. The blue and red slices show how that county split between Cindy Holscher and Ty Masterson. The circles sit roughly where their counties are on a real map, nudged apart so they don't overlap. A normal map makes Kansas look almost entirely red because the big rural counties take up most of the space. This version makes clear that a few populous counties cast a huge share of the vote, led by Johnson and Sedgwick. Together those two alone cast about 44% of the ballots.

In Baltimore, MD, we picked up 12 tons of trash in 12 hours.
In Los Angeles, we removed 50 tons of trash from a homeless encampment.
Proud of the work we’ve done to help clean up America’s cities.
Thank you, Tucker.

Stop the “Texas election was stolen” bit. The election will be certified by the Republican Abbott hand picked to be Secretary of State, under the oversight of the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. There will be no intervention by the U.S. Attorney General appointed by President Trump.

In Kansas, while Republican Kris Kobach lost the attorney general race by 1.2 points and Republican Ty Masterson lost race for governor by 0.6 points, Roger Marshall managed to lose his Senate seat by 6 points.

Another one I missed last night: Kansas AG Kris Kobach down by 11,000 votes.
In 2020, Rs prodded Marshall into the Senate race out of fear that Kobach would win the nomination and blow it. And now they're both #OpenToWork

Podcasters Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan can't stop laughing at the thought of digging up Charlie Kirk's corpse and "doing it" again to him.
After laughing for 30 seconds straight, the women falsely claimed that Tyler Robinson was a 'MAGA person.'
They will celebrate your death, laugh uncontrollably, and still be fully convinced they're the "good guys."

I concede the point. It's consistent with my research.
I cite data that show progressive nonprofits have been working on infrastructure to support this shift for 10 years in Kansas. You don't seem to want to accept that data.
My point is to give a plausible explanation of the results that does not claim the machines were rigged. We would see the same results with or without machines. Some don't believe that.
