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.

Story: Bill to allow unaffiliated voters to vote in Pennsylvania primaries passes state House votebeat.org/pennsylvania/20…

Bill to boost participation in Pennsylvania primaries passes key milestone

The proposal would allow unaffiliated voters to vote in Pennsylvania primary elections, but it’s unlikely to become law.

BREAKING: The Pennsylvania State House has passed a bill to open the state's primary elections to unaffiliated voters. The vote was bipartisan at 115 to 88. More to come.

A little scoop from me this weekend for @VotebeatUS: Those letters the Georgia State Election Board sent to DHS and the DOJ asking for federal intervention? Two GOP board members tell me the executive director went rogue and sent those without their permission. Story follows.

👀 NEW: Records show DPS knew of problems with its web portal for voter registration as early as March. The agency at the time said the issue was resolved but problems persisted. #txlege votebeat.org/texas/2026/10/0…

Some Texas voter registration delays flagged months before public learned of errors

State officials acknowledged an issue processing voter registrations and updates in March, but said that it had been fixed.

The Supreme Court's ruling on the SAVE database shouldn't affect the 2026 election. Under federal law, you can't systematically remove voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election.

NEW: A 69-year-old Indian immigrant and green card holder who prepares passenger meals for an airline catering company in Texas has been charged with voter fraud as part of a nationwide sweep that appears to have focused mainly on legal residents. votebeat.org/national/2026/0…

An Indian grandfather who cast a ballot in Texas is one of 70 noncitizens arrested for illegal...

The only thing the noncitizens the Trump administration has accused of voting have in common is that they have nothing in common.

Update! @GregAbbott_TX didn’t respond and referred me to DPS and SOS. DPS told me the issue is “resolved” but didn’t answer my question about what caused the issue or how many records were affected. Collin Co alone got 40K records: 🔗👇🏽#txlege

SCOOP: DPS failed to send Texas county registrars an unknown number of voter registration applications submitted through its online portal. #txlege votebeat.org/texas/2026/09/2…

Error means unknown number of Texas voter registrations haven’t been processed yet

It’s unknown how many prospective voters have been affected.

Are hotels people too? A tiny Delaware beach town treats its hotels as voters, something that's fueled a simmering legal and political debate over corporate voting rights. Story below:

In academia, a working paper is provisional. Online and in court, Walter Mebane’s working paper turned into evidence that the 2024 election might be flawed. Our story is about what got lost in translation. With @JessicaHuseman

Hi Maricopa County! I'm hearing some voters recently received notices like the one below asking them to confirm their address, despite not moving. I'm looking into this and I need your help. If you got one and haven't moved, can you let me know at [email protected]? Thanks!

🚨 No registration is ever “suspended” this is not accurate. If you’ve been placed on the SUSPENSE list it’s because you moved/your county couldn’t confirm your address. You’re still registered and CAN vote! Confirm your address! #txlege

OVER 1.2M people in Texas have had their voter registrations suspended—many might not even know about it.

NEW: Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell tells me her office is wrapping up its probe into 60 voters referred by Recorder Justin Heap. They were alleged to be noncitizens — but not all are. Investigators are “finding there are citizens… some, but not all of them.”
