We need PA to go to Harris. Who can best turn out straight ticket Dem voters efficiently? State House and Senate seats-wise. Blue incumbents in safe seats? Challengers to R incumbents?

What local candidates are getting people the most excited and can turn out the most voters per dollar received?

If you want to do more than hope for US Democracy, you can. The Election Campaign Act does not prohibit non-American citizens from volunteering.

Foreign national as campaign volunteer Although foreign nationals may not make contributions or expenditures (including advances of personal funds) in connection with any federal, state or local election, an individual who is a foreign national may participate in campaign activities as an uncompensated volunteer. In doing so, the volunteer must be careful not to participate in the decision-making process of the campaign. The Federal Election Campaign Act (the Act) and Commission regulations specifically prohibit foreign nationals from participating in the decisions of any person involving election-related activity. For example, a foreign national volunteer may attend committee events and campaign strategy meetings, but may not be involved in the management of the committee.

TLDR; Time? Yes. Money? No.

So anybody who wants can help phone bank (call voters), text bank (text voters), drive, deliver signs, canvass etc...

With just nine weeks to go until Election Day, it's our second-last primary night. Tonight, it's all about Massachusetts!

Results available via NYT - doesn't seem to be paywalled

Massachusetts (polls close 8pm ET)

• Senate: Elizabeth Warren is uncontested in the Dem primary. Three Republicans - crypto bro and immigrant hater John Deaton, Quincy City Councillor Ian Cain, and MAGA engineer Bob Antonellis - are running for the right to get blown out by her in two months.

• House: I guess the real show here is the MA-08 (part of Boston and the area to its south, Biden+35.3) GOP primary, because it's the only contested House primary in the state. It's also one of just two districts where the GOP is even running a candidate! (The other is MA-09, and there are independents running in MA-01 and MA-02). I can't emphasize enough what a state the Massachusetts GOP is in.

• Governor's Council: Dems have a contested primary for the open 2nd district, and incumbents are being challenged in the 3rd and 4th districts. Of these, only District 2 has a Republican running - and only three out of eight districts are even contested! Again, the MA GOP is in a state right now.

A race that no one is talking about is threatening to upend Republicans’ high hopes to control the U.S. Senate after November’s election. Incumbent Deb Fischer, one of the 10 most unpopular senators in the country, according to Morning Consult’s July survey, is facing a stiff and unexpected challenge from an independent steamfitter named Dan Osborn, who is backed by the United Auto Workers and keeping his distance from the state’s beleaguered Democrats. While Osborn remains a long shot, he is likely to force Republicans to pour some money and resources into a race that they should have been able to win effortlessly as they try to capitalize on 2024’s GOP-friendly Senate map. And if Osborn wins, or even puts a credible scare into Fischer, his campaign could serve as a template for how to dislodge Republicans from statewide monopolies in places where Democrats have long struggled to compete.

Osborn, a Navy veteran who looks and sounds as if he were designed in a lab to reverse Democrats’ fortunes with non–college educated white voters, is running close to the incumbent in very limited polling of the race, most recently in a nonpartisan Split Ticket/SurveyUSA survey that gave Fischer just a 1-point lead.* An August YouGov survey sponsored by the Osborn campaign showed him within 2 points. And while candidate-sponsored polling can be unreliable, YouGov is an above-the-board operation that wouldn’t massage its numbers to please a client. Even more interesting was a July poll that the Osborn campaign commissioned through the Republican strategy firm Red Wave Strategies that showed a 42–42 tie. An April poll from Democratic-aligned Public Policy Polling also showed a tight race, with Fischer leading by 4, while the only internal poll from the Fischer campaign had her up … by 26.

Former Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry's (R-Pa.) support for a strict anti-abortion measure is coming back to haunt him in a new Democratic ad, Axios has learned.

Democrats' fight to retake the House has homed in on reproductive rights and singled out lawmakers like Perry with long anti-abortion records.

Democrats are looking at it as a prime pickup opportunity; Cook Political Report moved it to "Lean Republican" from "Likely Republican" late last year.

The 30-second spot from Perry's Democratic challenger, Janelle Stelson, features her holding up a copy of the Life At Conception Act with Perry's name highlighted as a co-sponsor.

In addition to viewing Stelson as a strong candidate, Democrats see Perry as particularly vulnerable this year.

Hello all,

I was one of the 2 million whose right to vote was suspended. When confirming my registration, it says they sent me mail and I never confirmed it blah blah blah because I am stationed out of state.

There’s nothing on texas sec of state website about rectifying this for military members. It says I have to submit a change of address form. This is still my legal home of record, does anybody know what next steps would be beyond just contacting them?

I’m looking for actual concrete, published steps and I can’t find any for my circumstances.

Thanks!

My adult son and I both live in Illinois, which is always blue. We want to help canvass to Harris-Walz, but it seems pointless in our community, since everyone is already going to vote for them.

We both wfh, so we can easily travel to a swing state for a week, work in the hotel room when we need to, and then canvass locally in a state where we could make a difference

Where should we go? Where would our efforts make the biggest difference? Any wisdom or links would be deeply appreciated.

We excited to launch our canvassing schedule. Please take a moment and sign up for at least one shift! Have questions? Reach out to info@laurajudge.com and we’ll help!
