The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday saw record-high voter turnout for a spring election not coinciding with a presidential race, Fox News reported. “Over 36 percent of eligible Wisconsin voters participated in the highly-anticipated election, surpassing the previous high of 34 percent set in the 2011 state Supreme Court race,” according to the report. “…Over 1.7 million Wisconsin voters participated in the Tuesday election — surpassing the approximately 1.6 million voters who took part in the 2011 election, which elected Justice David Prosser.” Democrat Janet Protasiewicz secured a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court over Republican Daniel Kelly, giving...

An election integrity group ran a full-page ad in one of Georgia’s most notable newspapers on Sunday demanding that The Coca-Cola Company apologize for lying about the state’s 2021 voting law that enhanced the overall security of its elections.Run by the Honest Elections Project in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the ad highlights the soda company’s role in smearing Georgia’s election law as “‘a step backward’ that would ‘diminish or deter access to voting’” in the state.“After Georgia made it easier to vote and harder to cheat, the state saw its most successful election in history, shattering records for early and absentee...

Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Monday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that in November’s midterm elections, early numbers are looking like black voter turnout was down. Carville said, “There is a potentially troubling sign, you have to wait until the analysts and these people get ahold of the final numbers of who turned out, but a lot of good ones think black turnout in Georgia is as low as it was since 2006.”

Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), chair of Senate Democrats’ campaign arm, credited former President Trump for Democratic turnout in the midterms and said Trump could continue to be a problem for Republicans. “There’s no question that Donald Trump is a motivating factor for turnout when it comes to Democratic voters,” Peters said in an interview with NBC’s Sahil Kapur. Democrats secured a razor-thin majority in the Senate in the midterm elections by flipping Pennsylvania’s seat and defending vulnerable incumbents in Nevada and Arizona. In Georgia, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) will face Republican Herschel Walker again in a Dec. 6 runoff that...

Florida proved an outlier state for the Republican Party on Tuesday. While GOP candidates—particularly those with far-right platforms—underperformed to expectations nationally, Florida Republicans turned out at much higher rates than Democrats, allowing the GOP to dominate the state. In Manatee County, the overall turnout was 62 percent. Turnout for registered Republicans, however, was a whopping 72 percent. Meanwhile, Democratic turnout was only 59 percent, while NPA and third-party voters turned out at just 47 percent. Statewide, Republicans turned out at 64 percent, while Democrats turned out at just 50 percent. Republicans now hold a majority of registered voters in Florida...

Tudor Dixon, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Michigan, smacked down Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) claims that she is an “election denier,” during the candidates’ second debate on Tuesday. Whitmer’s accusations came after the moderators asked each candidate if they would support the outcome of Michigan’s proposal three, which would enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. Dixon said she would “absolutely” support the will of Michigan voters, as she noted during her first debate against Whitmer. Dixon said: Absolutely. I have said that from the very beginning. There are no laws that I think I’m more powerful than. I know...

A left-leaning New York think tank sounded a familiar warning about Arizona’s “voter suppression bills” being “dangerously close to becoming law.” The Brennan Center for Justice added in a press release that Arizona was “taking center stage in the relent­less effort to rein in voter parti­cip­a­tion in the name of ‘elec­tion secur­ity.’” Pending bills, the think tank claimed, were “aimed at making voting by mail harder.” That was in April 2021, before Arizona passed several reform measures that state legislators said they crafted to ensure secure and honest elections. Little more than a year later, in August 2022, Arizona notched...

'Trump fills stadiums, Biden has to count his security detail as part of his crowd'

The number of people turning out for the Georgia primary this week certainly put paid to the Democratic claim about the election law that was passed in 2021. Democrats had falsely claimed that the law was a “Jim Crow” effort to restrict the vote. That was untrue; it even increased the opportunities to vote. But the turnout also showed that Georgians were in no way hindered from voting.However, there is an underlying, fascinating number that is worth talking about — the incredible increase in the GOP primary voting numbers.The new commonsense election integrity laws have made it easier to vote...

We've been hammering away on this issue for a reason. The Stacey Abrams/Joe Biden crowd made outrageous claims about Georgia's new election law -- calling it worse than Jim Crow segregation, and racist voter suppression. Their demagoguery was demonstrably untrue at the time, and even though many corporate entities performatively echoed the dishonest hysteria, most Georgians ultimately supported the measure. Tuesday's primary election offered the first real-world test of the law's impact. Would it vindicate the "Jim Crow 2.0" chanters, or expose them? The answer has been powerful and clear. Here's a statistic shared by a spokesman for the Georgia...

During a portion of an interview with CNN aired on Monday’s “CNN Newsroom,” Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) responded to the state’s record early voting turnout in the 2022 primaries, which was more than double the in-person early voter turnout in the 2020 and 2018 primaries, by stating that the law was “designed to respond to the turnout that we saw in 2020 and 2021,” and the record turnout doesn’t disprove her claims that Georgia’s election law would lead to voter suppression.

During a week in which Democrats formally finalized their takeover of the US Senate's instruments of power, and flexed their legislative muscles by pushing through a party-line vote to pave the way for a massive spending bill, it seems like an opportune moment to reflect on how we got here. Republican voters largely held the line, despite a daunting Senate map, in November. After election night, it very much looked like Democrats would net just one single seat in the upper chamber, allowing Mitch McConnell to remain majority leader, and force the Biden administration into tough negotiations on a wide...

Six hours into Election Day, the Trump team is growing confident that the “red wave” of voters it is banking on to reelect the president is showing up at the polls in some 12 battleground states. “Our people are showing up,” said one insider.

By Monday night the state's early voting tally was 62% of 2016's total turnout. ST PAUL, Minnesota — The people who run Minnesota's elections would love to lead the nation again in voter turnout percentage, even in the middle of a pandemic. And, they're off to a good start. As of Monday night, 1,839,710 votes had been cast by Minnesotans. That includes people who chose to vote absentee in person or by mail, and those who live in areas of the state where elections are conducted only via mail. That number is roughly 62% of all votes in the last...

The Trump campaign on Monday said its internal voting turnout models show President Trump with robust victories in the battleground states of Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada. They also said that if Trump wins enough votes on Tuesday evening, then he will declare victory — regardless of claims by Democrats. Beyond internal polling, further external evidence shows a growing momentum shift toward Trump in the last 10 days, accelerating through the final weekend: tightening polls in battleground states where Trump had trailed, along with surprising GOP strength in early voting results and polls showing late breakers tilting toward Trump....

Senior Biden campaign officials are 'becoming increasingly worried' over low turnout among black and latino voters in key states such as Pennsylvania and Florida, according to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter. Despite record early-vote turnout around the country, there are warning signs for Biden. In Arizona, two-thirds of Latino registered voters have not yet cast a ballot. In Florida, half of Latino and Black registered voters have not yet voted but more than half of White voters have cast ballots, according to data from Catalist, a Democratic data firm. In Pennsylvania, nearly 75% of registered Black voters...
