Really appalling story. I'll be watching Apache County closely on Tuesday.
NEW: In 2024, a remote, cash-strapped county blamed malfunctioning ballot printers for a disastrous election.
But that's not what actually happened.
@VotebeatUS and @ArizCIR teamed up to tell the real story of the election fiasco — and how it disenfranchised voters.

BREAKING from @VotebeatUS : Four days before Election Day, the DOJ is sending letters to election officials nationwide warning of criminal prosecution for failing to preserve election records.
The move comes 1 day after a federal judge warned that DOJ threats “must stop.”

Giants owner Charles B. Johnson is MLB's biggest political spender this midterm cycle, donating $2.6M to Republicans.
MLB's principal owners gave $4M combined to federal campaigns, with the top six donors giving exclusively to Republican and nonpartisan causes.

Interested in learning more about why we see "blue shifts" and "red shifts" in post-election voting returns? Give our simulation a spin, it's based on published research with @yimenglipolisci and synthetic data.

The irony about the Dan Sullivan situation is that #AKsen is the one race where it doesn't have to matter! Voters can rank the Dans Sullivan 1st and 2nd and that solves the problem.

This isn’t to say some voters won’t still bullet vote and get it wrong. But RCV provides a remedy for voters who go into the voting booth and get confused. That’s an advantage that FPTP doesn’t have.

SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.
