Democrats Sue Over New Election Rules in Battleground Georgia
by Lisa Rubin, Charlie Gile and Raquel Coronell Uribe
August 26, 2024

Introduction:

(NBC) ATLANTA — The Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Party of Georgia and several individuals, including county board members, sued the Georgia State Election Board on Monday over new election rules that critics say conflict with state law mandating certification of election results.

At the heart of the civil suit, filed in Fulton County, are two items the election board passed this month: the reasonable inquiry rule and the examination rule.

The suit says that the rules conflict with Georgia’s statutes governing certification and that the election board did not follow procedures for rulemaking as required by state law. It therefore asks the court to pause the two rules to the extent that they conflict with existing law.

The plaintiffs are also asking for a declaration that election results must be certified by Georgia’s statutory deadline of Nov. 12 and that certification is mandatory rather than discretionary.

Nate silver is a clown
There's three main reasons Trump will lose the election
1. He is a failed president. The Man was literally voted out of office and he reacted in a criminal way. He is destructive to this country and should be hanging his head in shame.
2. He is extremely old and we just removed a presidential candidate of the other party because of it. The guy was 3 years older!!! 58% based on polls say Trump is also too old. He is. This matters.
3. His vice presidential pick is literally the worse pick in the past 40 years and his negatives are -11 in polls. Harris on the other hand picked walz that has positive numbers! This will greatly help her ticket win over moderates and win the election.

Any poll that shows Trump within 2 points of getting the popular vote is literally destroying their credibility. There's no way in hell Harris doesn't win the rust belt being as pro-union as she is, the youth vote and the age issue.

I will not add any of the clown polls to this thread!

New USC Research Reveals Untapped Potential for Mobilizing Voters of Color in Battleground States


Introduction:

(Center for Inclusive Democracy) Los Angeles, Aug. 26, 2024 – With swing states playing a pivotal role in the 2024 presidential election, new reports from the Center for Inclusive Democracy (CID) at the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy have found significant voter turnout disparities between white, non-Latino voters and voters of color in all nine battleground states.

The reports highlight the persistent “voter representation gap,” where voters of color remain underrepresented at the polls, despite substantial population growth. If narrowed by November, the research concludes, this gap could significantly influence election results, particularly in swing states that had particularly close election outcomes in 2020.

CID analyzed voter files from the 2020 general election for Latino, Black and Asian-American voters in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Texas. The study found that while the eligible voter populations of color in these swing states grew substantially from 2010 to 2020—outpacing the growth of the white, non-Latino population and often the general population—these voters of color had consistently lower turnout rates compared to white, non-Latino voters during the 2020 election.

“The huge number of eligible non-voters among communities of color in swing states presents an extraordinary opportunity for voter mobilization and engagement,” said CID Director Mindy Romero, the study’s lead author. “Getting more voters of color to the polls could be transformational and have the potential to impact election outcomes in November. Participation by these groups and all voters is foundational to our democratic values and processes.”
