Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "
ELECTION INTEGRITY: A non-citizen in Maricopa County discovered he was registered to vote, despite never signing up. Election officials admit it’s easy for non-citizens to accidentally register, and the state has no way to verify if a non-citizen has registered or voted. The system relies entirely on voters knowing and respecting that they aren’t legally allowed to vote—an honor system at the core of our democracy.
