Don’t let other people decide for you. Get out there and register to vote.
Your voice counts, your VOTE counts.

But first, you might want to rethink that selfie: Appeals court to consider ban on voter selfies
Is banning selfies in the voting booth is a violation of free expression or legitimate way to combat fraud?
That’s the question that the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston will try to answer today — the first time a federal appeals court will consider the issue.
At issue is a 2014 New Hampshire law that makes it a crime, punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, for voters to take pictures of their ballots and share them on social media. Enforcement of the law was blocked a year ago by a federal judge, and the state appealed.
Only nine states appear to either explicitly allow ballot selfies or have no currently enforceable state law clearly forbidding it.
Most of the states, 26, explicitly ban it through various laws, including prohibitions on bringing cameras into polling places.
The law is unclear in Arkansas, Connecticut, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Clinton surges past 270 electoral votes in new battleground map
We’ve updated our NBC battleground map. The states in Hillary Clinton’s column now add up to 288 electoral votes, which exceeds the 270 needed to win the presidency. Donald Trump, meanwhile, is at 174 electoral votes, and an additional 76 are in the Tossup category. Our last map, back in July, showed Clinton with a 255-190 advantage — so Clinton’s tally has gone up since the conventions, while Trump’s has declined.
The significant changes in our map:
- We’ve moved Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Nebraska’s one electoral vote from Tossup to Lean Dem.
- We’ve also moved Florida from Lean Dem to Tossup.
- Georgia moves from Lean GOP to Tossup.
- And we’ve changed Kansas and South Carolina from Likely GOP to Lean GOP.
(Our regular caveat here, of course: These designations are subject to change as we get more poll numbers and reporting.)

DFL State Chair Ken Martin says he’s frustrated by the name calling coming from Republicans and calls on them to stop and sit down to seriously work on the budget impasse that has shutdown most of Minnesota’s government.
Yeah,thatguy.
The Republican Party:
The party that is pro life, unless that life is a woman who needs an abortion.
The party that is pro life, but won’t vote to feed the babies they claim to love.
The party that is pro life, unless those lives are black or brown.
The party that is pro life, but would rather save their rights to guns than an actual child’s life.
Conservatives are so quick to tell min wage earners to “get a better job” if they can’t afford anything. Yet when cops complain that their jobs are dangerous or whatever, you never hear conservatives tell them to “get a better job” if they don’t like it.
White supremacy is domestic terrorism…

Homebrew powerwall built from a wrecked Tesla Model S.
Recharged each day via a 17K watt solar array. “Occasionally the display crashes but we haven’t lost power for even a microsecond in the last four years.”
This janky solarpunk looking rig was built by the Republican U.S. Rep for KY4 Thomas Massie. It runs his off grid house - entirely.
As a Brit living in London, I don’t know anything his politics or his local impact in Kentucky, but this is really remarkable. Rasberry Pi! The PCB in the tuppaware! Lord!
