Ballots are starting to arrive in mailboxes around the state. I put together this spreadsheet comparing 2026 with 2022 and 2024 — broken down by party, county, state House, state Senate, and congressional districts — which I'll be updating M-F between now and Nov. 3. Link👇

I'd like to tell you a story about Michigan's elections that started in 2020 — maybe even earlier — and continues on to today. This is the story of Antrim County Clerk Victoria Bishop.

At an election science conference I went to in June, a panel was lit up by claims that USPS delays in primaries were causing more ballots to arrive late. Someone asked: Has anyone done research yet to see if USPS changes are tied to ballot rejections? So @propublica did. 🧵

A cautionary tale for voters in postmark states who mail their absentee ballots on Election Day: kgw.com/article/news/politic…

Earlier today, it was an honor to join President Commissioner Julie Wheeler in inducting 80 @yorkcountypa voters into the PA Voter Hall of Fame. These great Americans voted in every November election for at least 50 consecutive years. They are true role models of civic virtue.
