Zach Lahn did not vote in Iowa in 2024.
He received his ballot in Kansas, where he had instructed his Iowa-issued ballot be sent.
He registered just before the deadline to be eligible to run for this election, but apparently did not receive personal mail at an Iowa address.

Until this moment, Vivek, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness… Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?

Katie Miller warns that after the midterms Democrats will "go after Trump staffers who commit crimes." Easy solution: maybe Trump staffers shouldn't commit crimes
That's OK, he can always stop at a tent
Multiple Ohio venues are canceling or dropping Vivek Ramaswamy’s bus tour stops after his ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother—who stayed with the stepfather charged with raping Acton at 12.
Old Dog Ale House & Brewery in Delaware canceled a GOP ticket event. A Sunday service at CrossPointe Church in Westerville disappeared from the tour page. A Trumbull County stop now has no location listed.
A top Ohio Republican: “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there. It’s that damn ad.” Gov. DeWine called it wrong and urged it taken down.
This is the blowback.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town ever since the woke mob closed the old Cheesecake Factory. So when Vivek Ramaswamy promised to legalize child rape, they finally had something to cheer about again. But then Obama said something elitist.
"I don't think my ballot's in Kansas anymore"
"I mean, please send my ballot to Kansas so I can send it back to Iowa"
"And by 'back,' I mean the ballot goes back, I'm still in Kansas"

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it.

We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too.
We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries.
That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next.
Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells.
Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it.

NYT/Siena finds incumbent Brian Fitzpatrick (R) down by 2
Also, Gov Josh Shapiro is winning the district by a whopping 61-34 (+27)
If so, Dems are set for FOUR House flips in the Keystone state

Ohhhh boy... I would hate to be the "rogue employee" who invited Ken Paxton to campaign at Cooper's without management's permission.
But also, the political dynamics of this are pretty interesting. New Braunfels is one of the most conservative cities in the I-35 Corridor, and Paxton is going to win Comal County for sure. However, businesses in New Braunfels get a lot of traffic from people in Austin, San Antonio, and San Marcos, places that will DEFINITELY not be going Republican. I could for sure understand a typical business owner there would want to keep their head down on politics.

Paul Wellstone's last campaign was my first.
I’m so grateful for the opportunities the young organizer in this photo was given because of Paul and Sheila.

Zach Lahn never beating the Kansas carpetbagger allegations:
“Mr. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in the 2024 general election. But voting records that have not previously been reported show he requested that his ballot be mailed to him — in Kansas.”

I hope Maine people will vote for Troy Jackson. It's time to pull the emergency brake on DJT. Mr. JAckson will not just voice concern, as Susan Collins does, but act on it.

There are certain people who touch your life in a powerful way, and my 10th grade high school teacher was one of them.
We always kept in touch through the years and she’s witnessed me through the different phases of my life. I was ecstatic when she surprised me— it made me stop and think about the person I’ve grown into and the support from all areas of my life that has come through this season.
I am grateful for everyone’s support— let’s keep the momentum going!

"Our endorsement of Acton rests on more than Ramaswamy’s failure to meet a basic standard of decency. She has earned consideration on her own record, her preparation and her commitment to the people she seeks to serve."
Cleveland Plain Dealer reverses their decision to stay neutral and endorses @amyactonoh — a true leader and public servant.

Kansas Democratic Senate nominee Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.
I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”
