“According to state and federal laws, U.S. Department of Justice ‘monitors’ are not legally entitled to any greater access to polling places than any member of the public.”

Rural PA: if you’re voting by mail put it in the mail. USPS is delaying postmarks & delivery.
No one is watching out for rural voters.
It’s almost like they think we don’t count.
Prove them wrong.
USPS has instituted new policies of delaying postmarking of mail ballot and delivery.
ProPublica shows this has led more people's votes to be tossed, *&* that this is affecting disproportionately rural (red) counties with worse service to begin with.

“Imagine if we had spent all of the time & energy & resources that have been spent on this redistricting war & instead focused on something like making life more affordable for Americans.”
Note to legislators, governors & all who want to rig our maps: voters don't like cheaters.
When a #gerrymander ends up being a dummymander, we're not sympathetic.

NEW: How do you get money out of politics without overturning Citizens United? Montana has a solution.
The I-194 ballot initiative would stop artificial persons, including corporations, from contributing to campaigns and political parties.
It could change America as we know it.

In case anyone wonders why this matters:
1 PA caucus is owned almost entirely by 1 PA billionaire.
If you're tired of government by the wealthiest for the wealthiest, read up & watch the flow of money in PA.
Reform isn't possible when they own it all.

Pennsylvania campaign finance reports are due this week. Among the first in a competitive Senate race to file is state Sen. Frank Farry (R., Bucks). He raised $4.7 million since June, almost 75% of which came from a PAC that has so far only been funded by Jeff Yass.

.@PAStateDept pulled together a list of common questions we’ve seen voters ask online. Here’s (yet another) video answering more of those questions.

75% of @SenFrankFarry's donations came from a PAC funded by Jeff Yass, PA's richest billionaire and Big Tech investor, which controls the @PASenateGOP agenda.
$3,536,134 of $4,773,078 from one billionaire's PAC. This is why voters are revolting against the GOP over corruption.

Diesel has hit $6.20 a gallon, right in the middle of harvest season.
For family farms, that hits every part of the operation.
"Diesel fuel affects everything, especially on a farm, like production-wise, harvest-wise."
Big corporations can pass higher costs on to shoppers.
Farmers usually can't.
"We've not went up on anything. We're just eating it ourselves."
Meanwhile, oil companies are raking in billions from refining.
Farmers shouldn't be left eating the costs while corporations cash in.

⏳Wondering why so little gets done in Harrisburg?
💵 Follow the money & check who makes the rules.
PA allows leaders total power over district maps, caucus budget, legislative agenda, flow of campaign funds.
Isn't it time to #FixHarrisburg? #skillgames

For decades PA was the poster child for partisan redistricting.
Now we're also the poster child for billionaire agendas controlling the state legislature.

PA House & Senate have recessed until mid-November after 1 of the least productive sessions ever.
What important bills never got a vote?
What pressing problems were ignored again?

Wondering why @FairDistrictsPA cares about legislative rules? Legislators past & present, DAs, county commissioners & more explained that reforms can't pass when leaders have all the power.
We need new legislative rules, new legislative leaders & a very loud voice for reform.
