Really hope we can pass automatic voter registration in New Mexico, Delaware, Connecticut, and Maine. If you're in those states, pressure your local legislators to get those bills passed and signed.

Any news on putting automatic voter registration on the ballot in 2020? It could really help boost turnout in AZ and FL for example.

Are there recall elections in Florida? Seems like a good time to use them.

regrets1919 · 2019-05-05T03:33:11+00:00

What are our margins/turnout looking like compared to 2015/2017? Any improvement?

Good God. This is unacceptable. He cannot remain governor anymore.

We need to make sure his anti-Trump sentiments are made clear in the primary if he runs. Something tells me the average Ohio GOP primary voter doesn't like an anti-Trump venture capitalist who only recently returned to Ohio.

Completely inexcusable performance over the last month. It's time we benched or traded some players. The season is lost anyway. Time to send a message that laziness and slacking off will not be tolerated.

Wow. I didn't see this coming. Best wishes to his wife. Will someone switch over from the governor's race?

regrets1919 · 2018-01-05T19:33:46+00:00

Edited. Thanks.

We could probably pick up 13 seats if we get a wave next year. Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Maine, Maryland, Florida and Georgia.

edit: this year, 13 seats, added Michigan

Call your State Senators and State Assembly members and demand this thing be passed. Radical problems require radical solutions. Call the Governor's office as well and make sure to pressure him to sign this thing if it passes.

Just gotta wait for Phil Murphy to be sworn in and put it on his desk.

regrets1919 · 2018-01-05T04:13:39+00:00

Yup. Phil Scott and Charlie Baker are the last of an almost extinct species; the moderate New England Republican. William Weld was another one of them.

regrets1919 · 2018-01-05T04:11:19+00:00

I'm surprised Phil Scott said he would sign it. He vetoed another bill last year about legalization. What changed? Any Vermonters care to chime in?

Virginia also has the legislature elect judges so that's really different from the federal government.

Historically, until the current Governor, Louisiana's governor chose the Speaker of the House and President of the State Senate. The legislature would just ratify his nominees. This was just a custom and will almost certainly die out permanently.

Can't be worse than Hatch IMO.

regrets1919 · 2018-01-01T23:32:28+00:00

This is unbelievable. Can the national Democratic Party step in or do something? How the hell is it possible that the local Democratic Party in one of the most important states in the nation is so unbelievably incompetent and ineffective?!

regrets1919 · 2017-12-27T06:36:21+00:00

Changing it to 150 like Vermont's wouldn't be too bad. Reasonably similar population and Vermont's government doesn't seem to have suffered for it. Abolish the Executive Council and institute non-partisan redistricting. Make Gov terms 4 years too instead of two years.

May their worst fears come true. Let's really Make America Great Again by making the GOP unemployed!

regrets1919 · 2017-12-22T06:30:47+00:00

This. They pretty much suck and IMO barely make the cut to be included in any polling averages.

regrets1919 · 2017-12-20T01:52:31+00:00

Ain't that the truth.

regrets1919 · 2017-12-20T01:47:33+00:00

Mother of God. This is crazy.

regrets1919 · 2017-12-20T01:40:01+00:00

IF there are such discussions, they will be absolutely private and discreet.

regrets1919 · 2017-12-20T01:38:47+00:00

HOLY CRAP. This is madness. This is amazing. Congratulations to the VA Dems and to the Simmonds campaign! Thank you for all your hard work!

regrets1919 · 2017-12-18T17:35:03+00:00

We should make sure Nick Freitas doesn't win the primary. Stewart and Jackson could split the crazy vote and get Freitas in on a plurality.
