PLEASE SHARE: The North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed the lower court’s opinion dismissing Griffin’s challenges. The Court is requiring the state to allow military voters and overseas voters without photo ID and voter with incomplete registrations to have 15 days to cure their defects. Overseas voters who were never residents of North Carolina will not have their ballots counted. #NorthCarolina #Ballot

Les agents du commissariat de Fuengirola sont allés effectuer une perquisition dans un coffee shop (un club associatif où l’on peut acheter et fumer du cannabis) la semaine dernière.

Ils ont saisi divers objets et substances dont des bonbons en vente qui étaient considérés comme illégaux. Les paquets ont été étiquetés et mis sous scellés au poste.

A quotation from Lincoln

Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1863-08-26) to James C. Conkling

How R.F.K. Jr. Got on the Michigan Ballot, With Only Two Votes

The independent candidate persuaded a tiny party to give him its line on the ballot in a key 2024 battleground state, sparing him a costly, arduous organizing effort.

For 22 years, Doug Dern, a bankruptcy lawyer with a small practice outside Detroit,
has almost single-handedly kept the 🔸Natural Law Party 🔸on Michigan’s ballot.
👉Each cycle, the party runs a handful of candidates in obscure state races to meet Michigan’s minimum polling requirements for minor parties.
“Keep that ,” Mr. Dern, 62, said in an interview on Friday.
“Because someday, a candidate is going to come along who’s going to be perfect for it. Someday, the third parties are going to be hot.”

That day may have come.
In gaining access to the ballot in Michigan, a critical swing state in the 2024 election, Mr. has injected new uncertainty into what promises to be one of the most closely contested presidential races in history.
And 💥he did it without having to gather a single signature, 💥avoiding a costly and arduous organizing effort, not to mention the possibility of having to fight court challenges to those signatures.

The Florida Supreme Court just crushed abortion rights. But it also created a tool to fight back

The addition of the abortion rights to the November election has dramatically changed the political calculus in Florida overnight.
Long the home of a growing sunbelt Republican base and an uncommonly weak state Democratic party, Florida has been considered a shoo-in for , who won the state by three points in 2020.

But abortion ballot measures have proven a persistent electoral winner, with measures to preserve or expand access to the procedure winning every time they have been put to voters since Dobbs
– including in heavily Republican districts such as Kansas, Kentucky and Ohio, as well as in swing states like Michigan.

And the salience of to an has been an excellent predictor of Democratic success since ,
with the 2022 midterms and subsequent special elections all delivering Democratic victories whenever the abortion question is at the front of voters’ minds.

In Florida, the new ballot measure may not just influence the presidential election, but the re-election bid of the Republican senator
– a one-time governor and fierce abortion rights opponent who has said that he would have signed the six-week ban if he were still in the governor’s mansion.

That stance has come under harsh criticism in Florida, where even the comparatively less strict 15-week ban has had horrible human costs.

New Jersey’s controversial ballot design that gives party-backed candidates an advantage will be scrapped in the June primary, a federal judge ruled on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Zahid Quraishi granted the preliminary injunction sought by Rep. and two Congressional candidates to
👉eliminate the so-called , a feature unique to New Jersey elections that’s given local party bosses inordinate influence over elections.
In 19 of 21 counties in the state, candidates backed by county political parties appear in a single column or row, placing them more prominently on the ballot and giving them a nearly insurmountable edge.

The judge ordered the use of ballots for the June primary, where candidates are placed together by the office they are seeking.

His ruling applies to all offices on the ballot.

The decision is likely to be appealed, but until then it takes away a key tool wielded by political bosses in the state.

And while its impact is limited in the Democratic Senate primary since first lady Tammy has dropped out, it will upend contested primaries across the state
— including the House race for the seat held by Democratic Rep. Rob .

His father, Sen. Bob Menendez, is under indictment and will not run in the Democratic primary but is considering an independent run in November if he is not convicted of corruption charges.
