sometimes i think about how if i hire an attorney to help me get my croatian citizenship by descent its $1800. and thats it for the whole process. but if a croatian person wanted to get their u.s. citizenship by descent the government filing fee alone is like $1200 and then you would still have bare minimum another $1000 in fees if you wanted to hire an attorney. just insane.

Hamas is a heinous, murderous, vile terrorist group that’s intent on killing Jews.

But you can’t say they haven’t been honest about their intentions. Their manifesto, the interviews they’ve given, and the way they try to brainwash children through schools and media content have all been quite blatant in showing their modus operandi.

However, despite their very brutal honesty, why do Hamas-sympathisers try so hard to make Hamas look like good guys by defending literal crimes in the most insane ways?

It’s worrying and also shocking as these hypocrisies are such common sentiments coming from college campuses, which were once institutions that honed critical thinking.

Do they think that “kill all Jews” is a code phrase for “we want our territory back”? How do you possibly interpret open calls for the annihilation of Jews in any other way than what it is?

Do they not think that kidnapping women, raping and torturing them, and parading their naked, mutilated bodies around town to sexually humiliate them while men cheer is sexual violence against women? Isn’t this a feminist issue, part of the MeToo movement?

“Think about the children!” Yes, but when babies are beheaded and burned, when 4 year olds are kidnapped and orphaned, is claiming that these are AI-generated images and ripping down the posters of the hostages thinking of the children?

They cry out about war crimes but ignore that raping women and taking hostages are literally war crimes.

They scream to boycott companies for their ties to Israel using devices with technology designed in Israel. Will they give up their life’s pleasures because of their ties to Israel? My money is on no, because it’ll affect them personally and heaven forbid they take up activism that actually would inconvenience them in the slightest.

They claim to be experts in geopolitics after watching one TikTok video and claim that this is about territory and not antisemitism while also saying that Israelis can just “go back to whichever other country they also have citizenship in”. While turning a blind eye to the multiple antisemitic attacks around the world, and calling Israelis “white colonisers”.

They also claim to be champions of mental health awareness, experts in the psychological mechanisms of mental illnesses and take cautions to avoid triggers and micro-aggressions so as to not offend those who have psychological conditions. “We should let those who actually have these conditions speak up about their experiences!!”

But then when it comes to actual psychologically stressing situations like being kidnapped and taken hostage, they suddenly can speak for the hostages and know exactly what went on based on the most vacuous, flimsy evidence? “Oh she’s in love with her captor, she’s smiling at him! They’re smiling and waving, they must have been treated nicely by Hamas!”

How do they sleep at night with these competing ideologies in their heads? What do they achieve by making all these seem like the actions of good people?

They’re like Hamas’ PR team and defence attorneys rolled into one.

No matter what crime Hamas commits, they’ll come up with justifications and make it look like some kind of beneficent act of humanitarianism.

It’s so exhausting trying to reason with people who don’t see reason.

If you are getting sick of the two-party system and elections running candidates you hate, or incumbents you can't rebuke without electing someone so much worse, or partisan primaries repeatedly giving you the wing of your too-large-tent party that sucks... You need to look into making voting reform a big part of your political priorities.

Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) can be a big part of that!

And in 2024, RCV (also sometimes called IRV for "instant-runoff voting") is going to be on a lot of ballots, so check your state and get informed! Here's a list that I'm not sure is comprehensive, but I did research it for you to have somewhere to start:

First off, here's a post with some resources for you to do your ballot research with! I used Ballotpedia to look up this list, for example, after most of the RCV news only mentioned the 4 states with the most straightforward "vote yes for RCV" measures.

In Alaska... the state approved a RCV system in 2020 that has been a model success, but now the people with narrower support who lost their elections to broadly popular moderates introduced the Repeal Top-Four Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative to repeal it. This will be on the Nov 5 ballot as an Initiative, and people need to Vote No.

In Arizona... it's possible that optional RCV and a workaround RCV ban will both be on the ballot. The ban from the Legislature doesn't stop RCV but prevents the primary system often used with it - the goal is to make RCV harder to implement. It will be on the Nov 5 ballot as Proposition 133, and people need to Vote No. The Eliminate Partisan Primaries Amendment has RCV options and has turned in its signatures, so it may be on the Nov 5 ballot - Keep Watch and Vote Yes if it appears.

In Colorado... a Top-Four Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative modeled on Alaska's could bring RCV to state executive, state legislative, and congressional office elections. This may be on the Nov 5 ballot - Keep Watch and Vote Yes if it appears.

In Idaho... a Top-Four Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative modeled on Alaska's will bring RCV to Congressional office, state legislature, elective state office, and county elective office elections. This will be on the Nov 5 ballot as an Initiative (1), and people need to Vote Yes.

In Missouri... the Missouri GOP has been shoehorning in deceptive Constitutional Amendments to reduce voter influence for the past several elections. This year it's a ban on RCV hidden under a useless ban on non-citizen voting (which is already illegal and the state Constitution already says "citizens" when saying who can vote). This will be on the Nov 5 ballot as the Require Citizenship to Vote and Prohibit Ranked-Choice Voting Amendment, and people need to Vote No.

In Montana... signatures have been submitted for two separate constitutional amendments, one establishing Top-Four primaries and another requiring a majority-vote system to be implemented (which would likely be a run-off or RCV system). These may be on the Nov 5 ballot - Keep Watch and Vote Yes if they appear.

In Nevada... In 2022 the first round of a Top-Five Ranked-Choice Voting Initiative was approved by 52.94%. It has to be approved again in 2024 in order to be implemented. It will bring RCV to Congressional office, statewide executive, and state legislature elections. This will be on the Nov 5 ballot as Question 3, and people need to Vote Yes.

In Oregon... a Ranked-Choice Voting for Federal and State Elections Measure will bring RCV to Presidential, Congressional office, governor, Secretary of state, attorney general, state treasurer, and commissioner of labor and industries elections. This will be on the Nov 5 ballot as a Measure, and people need to Vote Yes.

And a bonus in South Dakota... it's not RCV, but the Top-Two Primary Elections Initiative (Amendment H) would be a significant voting reform, and it will be on the Nov 5 ballot. Do some research if you live there and decide if this would help or hinder elections.

On Tuesday morning, celebrities like Stephen Curry, Olivia Rodrigo, and Kerry Washington used their social media platforms to mark National Voter Registration Day, a nonpartisan effort to get Americans to sign up to vote in November’s election.

But at the same time, a group of MAGA influencers were rolling out a very different message about voting to their followers.

“Millions of illegals have been crossing our southern border, many of them who are coming are drug traffickers and sex traffickers. But what I’m worried about is the illegal voting,” Danielle D'Souza Gill said in an Instagram video she shared to her 255,000 followers, alongside the hashtag #OnlyCitizensVote. D’Souza Gill is the daughter of election conspiracist and right-wing pundit Dinesh D’Souza and wife to Brandon Gill, a Trump-endorsed election denier who recently won the GOP nomination to run for Congress in Texas’ 26th district.

Her video about immigrants voting is not a one-off. It’s part of a coordinated effort called “National Only Citizens Vote” week that has been rolling out since Monday. The campaign has been coordinated by a network of election denial groups who created the Only Citizens Vote Coalition to centralize their efforts. A WIRED review of recordings of half a dozen meetings to plan out “National Only Citizens Vote” week has revealed that the organizers, guest speakers, and volunteers who are participating are pushing conspiracies about immigrants, planning to post threatening signs at polling places, and blaming the “evil left” for stealing the election even before a vote has been cast.

The coalition was spearheaded by Cleta Mitchell, a former Trump adviser and attorney who was on the infamous call in 2020 when Trump asked Georgia state officials to reverse the election results. Mitchell has personally hosted online Zoom calls for the last several months where hundreds of local volunteers were given marching orders about how to spread the conspiracy about immigrants voting.

For the week, the coalition created a website filled with resources including PowerPoint presentations, handouts, posters, and printable signs in Spanish and English warning: “If you are NOT a citizen of the United States of America, it is ILLEGAL for you to vote.” Across platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, volunteers and GOP influencers with huge followings have been encouraged to post memes and videos pushing the conspiracy. The campaign also incorporates offline activities, encouraging supporters to attend flag-waving events on street corners, hand out bumper stickers and yard signs, write to their local representatives, and seek airtime on local TV and radio stations to spread the conspiracy.

Monday was dedicated to “shining a light�� on noncitizen voting, Tuesday “celebrated citizenship, and Wednesday focused on “federal action.” Friday is, unironically it seems, dedicated to “protecting noncitizen voters” when the activists will push the message that voting when not a citizen could get you deported.

It’s the culmination of the last six months of work from election denial groups like Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network, which has been spreading election conspiracies for the last four years, as well as organizations like the Tea Party Patriots and the Election Transparency Initiative, a group headed up by former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli and backed by far-right billionaire Dick Uihlein. Their work hasn’t been in a vacuum: Former president Donald Trump, Republican lawmakers, conservative activists, and right-wing pundits have been strenuously pushing the lie that a flood of immigrants pose a threat to the integrity of the 2024 elections.

The connective tissue between the Trump campaign and the grassroots activists spreading the conspiracy is the Election Integrity Network, a group established in the wake of the 2020 election by Mitchell. The Election Integrity Network, which earlier this year was involved in mass voter roll challenges, has established a huge network of regional, state, and county-level groups with tens of thousands of activists who attend regular online information sessions about everything from poll worker recruitment to media training.

In recent weeks, Mitchell and her staff have been laser-focused on the threat of noncitizens voting, according to WIRED’s review of recordings of more than half a dozen meetings. In a series of online webinars, each attended by hundreds of volunteers, Mitchell and her colleagues have spoken at length about the supposed threat posed by immigrants, while providing no evidence to back up their claims.

“The noncitizen voting has become one of the top talking points this election cycle, despite effectively zero evidence of it being a widespread problem. They're just going on vibes,” Brendan Fischer, deputy executive director at Documented, tells WIRED. “It's become a centerpiece of MAGA-oriented messaging in the run-up to the 2024 election, embraced by everybody from Donald Trump, House speaker Mike Johnson, to Elon Musk, in part because it links together two of the right's biggest talking points for this election: immigration and the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen.”

All the available evidence suggests that noncitizen voting accounts for a vanishingly small fraction of a percent of the votes cast in US elections. The GOP push to suggest this is a problem echoes much of the rhetoric around the great replacement conspiracy, which falsely suggests that a “cabal of global elites” is encouraging people of color to immigrate and replace white voters. Experts also believe the narrative is being seeded as a scare tactic designed to lay the groundwork for Trump and his allies to once again question the outcome of the vote.

The push to make immigrant voting an issue began to gather steam in April when, standing alongside Trump at Mar-a-Lago, House speaker Mike Johnson said he was working on some voter suppression legislation to make it illegal for noncitizens to vote—which it already is. That legislation became the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act—better known as the SAVE Act—which not only seeks to make it illegal for noncitizens to vote (again, it is already illegal) but to also introduce a requirement for people registering to vote to provide documentary proof that they are citizens.

According to a June survey by the Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement, this measure would disenfranchise one in 10 voters, or around 18 million people, who for various reasons have difficulty accessing the documents like passports and birth certificates necessary to prove they are citizens. The White House dismissed the bill in July as “​​based on easily disproven falsehoods.”

These claims have made it to the mainstream: Last month, Fox News host Maria Bartiromo posted on X about a friend of a friend who claims to have seen “a massive line of immigrants getting licenses and had a tent and table outside the front door of the DMV registering them to vote.” The claims were quickly debunked, with Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson Sergeant William Lockridge telling The Fort Worth Star-Telegram that “none of it is true” and that the claims were “kind of racist.”

X owner Elon Musk has also helped the conspiracy theory go viral. In July, he wrote on X that the Democratic party’s “goal all along has been to import as many illegal voters as possible.” Trump even repeated the claim last week during the presidential debate. “Our elections are bad,” said Trump. “And lots of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote.”

Now, as Trump’s acolytes push this lie at a hyper-local level, experts are concerned about the danger to voters and nonvoters alike.

“There is the potential for intimidation that results from these efforts, [such as] the [Election Integrity Network] activists showing up at the polls and calling into question the eligibility of non-English speakers or nonwhite voters,” Fischer says.

Many of the volunteers participating in the calls organized by the Election Integrity Network also repeated rumors and conspiracies, some in relation to the claims that pro-Democrat NGOs were registering immigrants across the country.

“I would also like to see something like television ads or billboards in Spanish specifically warning, if you are not a citizen and you vote, that is a felony and you would be subject to immediate deportation, something like that, very crisply stated,” an attendee named Pat said at one meeting. She added that the message should be targeted directly at Spanish-speaking communities, resulting in “a lot of people saying, ‘I'm not going to the polls.’”

In some cases, speakers voiced entirely new conspiracies. One woman named Patty King from Tennessee, on a call on August 22, claimed they had “identified illegal immigrants that have registered through the homeless shelters. I have over 564 of them,” adding in the next breath: “Proving that and then proving that they voted is another very big problem.”

A number of participants on the calls self-identified as election officials, poll workers, and representatives of their local Republican Party.

One attendee on a recent call was Deanna De’Liberto, who was recently named by her local Republican Party as the presidential elector for North Carolina's 5th District. De’Liberto raised a conspiracy about immigrants skewing the electoral maps in favor of the Democrats.

The meetings have also featured a number of prominent guest speakers, including Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project. The Heritage Foundation, the ultra-conservative group behind the dystopian Project 2025 plan, has been at the forefront of pushing the lie that noncitizens are voting in huge numbers. The group has also posted a number of “explosive” undercover videos claiming to show how noncitizens can obtain fake documents; a recent New York Times investigation debunked the claims made in a number of those videos.

“[The Biden administration] is mobilizing this huge, targeted, [get out the vote] government-funded operation at their preferred demographics, which obviously includes illegal aliens,” Howell told those listening, without providing any evidence to back up this claim.

And just last week, representative Chip Roy, a Republican from Texas who is the main sponsor of the SAVE Act in the House, spoke to the weekly meeting, answering questions from attendees and urging them all to continue pushing the conspiracy theory. Days earlier, Mitchell had appeared at a Judiciary Committee Hearing chaired by Roy on Capitol Hill, discussing the very same topic.

While the activists behind Only Citizens Vote week claim the initiative is meant to be about protecting US democracy, the reality is that pushing these conspiracies disenfranchises voters, or worse.

Last month, officers from Texas attorney general Ken Paxton’s Election Integrity Unit conducted early morning raids on the homes of Latino civil rights activists, including multiple members of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), as part of “ongoing election integrity investigations.” While the press release announcing the raids did not mention noncitizens specifically, Paxton has been among the loudest voices pushing the conspiracy about immigrants voting.

The noncitizen voting conspiracy “is certainly part of the reason that Latino nonprofit organizations, civic leaders, and LULAC members were targeted,” Juan Proaño, the CEO of LULAC, told WIRED about his organization’s members being attacked. “This is setting a precedent in the courts to normalize these tactics, so they can be copied in other Republican states.”

“There’s a reason Joe Biden brought people here illegally,” Paxton said on The Joe Pags Show last month. “I’m convinced that that’s how they’re going to do it this time, they’re going to use the illegal vote. Why were they brought in, why did he bring in 14 million people? He brought them here to vote.”

“It's hard to think of anything more intimidating than having someone who's involved in civic activism and voter turnout have their home raided, and it appears that those raids have been motivated by these noncitizen-voting conspiracy theories,” Fischer says.

Beyond all the bluster and divisive rhetoric, another possible reason that the GOP is so focused on this non-issue, experts believe, is that they are simply laying the groundwork to question the outcome of November’s vote.

“Why is it happening now?’ Michael Waldman, CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice, said last month during a House committee hearing on the SAVE Act. “It’s being pushed preemptively, I believe, to set the stage for undermining the legitimacy of the 2024 election this year. The Big Lie is being pre-deployed.”

Marco Margaritoff at HuffPost:

Dominion Voting Systems released a pointed statement Saturday following remarks from billionaire Elon Musk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who have reiterated debunked conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen from Republican nominee Donald Trump. The electronic voting machine company reached a record-breaking settlement last year after suing Fox News for spreading disproven claims that its machines had facilitated ballot fraud in 2020. Dominion said Saturday that it is “closely monitoring claims around the 2024 election” that echo those allegations.

“We strongly encourage people to rely upon verified, credible sources of election information - sources that can explain the many layers of physical, operational, and technical safeguards that exist to protect the integrity of our elections,” Dominion wrote in its statement. “We remain fully prepared to defend our company and our customers against lies, and to seek accountability from those who spread them,” the company added. Musk has thrown his full weight behind Trump. He promoted the false assertion that Dominion manipulated the election in 2020 at his first solo event to support Trump’s campaign on Thursday, insinuating without proof that “some very strange things” happened to people’s votes. “When you have mail-in ballots and no proof of citizenship, it becomes almost impossible to prove cheating, is the issue,” Musk said at a Pennsylvania town hall.

“There’s always this question of, say, the Dominion voting machines,” Musk continued. “It is weird that, I think, they were used in Philadelphia and in Maricopa County [in Arizona] but not in a lot of other places. Doesn’t that seem like a heck of a coincidence?” Dominion — which also sued former Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, along with other TV networks like Newsmax, for making defamatory claims about its machines — reacted strongly to Musk’s comments in a separate statement Friday to multiple media outlets. [...] “These are not matters of opinion. They are verifiable facts.” Separately, Greene — known for conspiratorial rhetoric, like her recent assertion that a shady “they” can “control the weather” — appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars network on Friday, where she claimed that a Dominion machine “changed” the ballot of a voter in her district. (Early voting began in Georgia in the 2024 presidential election earlier this week.)

Right-wing loons MTG and Alex Jones revive nonsense conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems.

Hey, I want all Latinos out there to know Trump's policies on immigration will most likely affect you regardless of your citizenship status. Even if you are, your parents, and other family were born here. The rhetoric they created of a "migrant crime wave" and immigrant crime, which the Dems normalized by buying into, will harm you.

Trump constantly attacked Latinos while on the campaign trail. A prime example of this was the use of "illegal immigrant votes" rhetoric by Republicans to prime their base for election subversion. Trump claimed, "Our elections are bad, and a lot of these illegal immigrants coming in, they're trying to get them to vote." (Source: X)

Trump's claims on illegal immigrants would affect the Latino community as his supporters targeted Latino voters. Texas attorney general Ken Paxton opened an investigation on the League of United Latin American Citizenship, resulting in home raids of its members over the claims of illegal votes. Additionally, there are conservative organizations like the Election Integrity Network who scoured the voter rolls looking for people to disenfranchise. One member said, "Sometimes the only way you can find out is to look for ethnic names...". (Source X) Meaning, the only way they can try to target "illegal voters" is to target Latinos via racial profiling.

So, what we saw was Trump's rhetoric of illegal immigrant voters swinging the election moved his base into targeting Latino voters under the guise of stopping a non-existent threat. This is not a good sign for the proposed mass deportation. If you didn't care about the mass deportation plan as a Latino already because you are here legally then I'm here to tell you: you should because they cannot tell the difference between illegal immigrants and citizens and they don't care. They will be targeting us all.

The U.S. Department of Justice said an illegal immigrant has reached an agreement to plead guilty to charges related to stealing a U.S. citizen's identity to vote in multiple elections and fraudulently obtain an American passport. 

Angelica Maria Francisco, a 42-year-old undocumented individual who most recently resided in Russellville, Alabama, is facing a nine-count information filed in federal court for false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.  

A plea agreement was filed as well, indicating that Francisco has agreed to plead guilty to all nine counts, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Prim F. Escalona and Resident Agent in Charge Joseph R. Wysowaty of the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) Atlanta Resident Office announced on Thursday. 

Francisco is accused of assuming the identity of a U.S. citizen in or around 2011. Prosecutors say she used the false identity to get an American passport in 2011. She then allegedly used the passport to travel to and from her native Guatemala in 2012, 2015 and 2018. Using the same identity, she allegedly also registered to vote in Alabama in 2016, before voting in the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections.

In 2021, Francisco allegedly used the same false identity to apply for and receive a renewed passport, which she used to travel to and from Guatemala in 2022.

The State Department's Diplomatic Security Service investigated the case, with assistance from the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, the East Metro Area Crime Center, and the Alabama Secretary of State’s Office. 

"I have been very clear that a top priority of this Office is ensuring only eligible American citizens are voting in Alabama elections," Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen said in a statement. "I want to thank the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Alabama for their diligent efforts investigating and charging this individual. We will continue to assist law enforcement in every way possible as they prosecute individuals who vote illegally in Alabama elections to the fullest extent of the law." 

Allen, a Republican, has made election integrity a top priority this cycle and previously sounded the alarm to Fox News Digital about how state agencies receiving federal funding are required under Executive Order 14019 to send out voter registration information to anyone who comes into contact with those agencies without any verification of citizenship. President Biden signed the order in 2021 as a way of "promoting access to voting," but Republicans argue that its broad interpretation of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 essentially mobilizes the federal government apparatus to become voter registration agencies. 

At the Republican National Convention in July, Allen told Fox News Digital that he had also spoken with House Speaker Mike Johnson regarding a piece of legislation called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which aims to require states to obtain proof of citizenship – in person – when registering an individual to vote and require states to remove non-citizens from existing voter rolls. 

Last month, prominent conservative Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Mike Lee, R-Utah, pushed for the SAVE Act to be attached to a spending bill extension to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the fiscal year. 

"Punting new government spending into 2025 when we have a new President and attaching the SAVE Act ensures House Republicans avoid a Biden-Harris lame duck omnibus and secures our elections at the same time," Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., said in a statement on Friday. "The Senate can either ensure only eligible American citizens are voting in our elections – or shut down the government. To me, it’s a no-brainer."
