2025/2026 Elections Congressional & State

[Caribbean Hen]

Well said.

It will be interesting to see the races once the dust settles from legal challenges and the primaries. There’s a chance “dummymandering” may be the political word of the year. It sounds like Texas is especially susceptible to this.

And yes…the Dems should be attacking corruption ruthlessly, BUT…they need to learn from the likes of Mandani to remain positive while offering up real policy solutions and following through on them.

I’m not holding my breath on that last part.

YES! Please dems go full commie for 2026 and 2028..

Exactly!

If Dems would focus on trying to come up with at least a few good ideas instead of complaining and crying about Trump every day this country might be better off

The Dems have absolutely nothing to offer except the free trip to their plantations

Why are you trying to get Democrats assassinated by agreeing with inflammatory rhetoric?

So you’re saying telling Democrats to get the work and stop crying about Trump is inflammatory

If Democrats don’t like Trump, they should look in the mirror and ask why do we have Trump….. simple

Calling them "commies" is no different than calling trump and MAQA fascists. If one is inflammatory and could lead to assassination attempts then so is the other.

The Dems that are winning elections right now are self proclaimed Commies

Liberals, progressives, democratic socialists, etc. are not commies, self-proclaimed or not. Saying they are is inflammatory and an attempt to get them assassinated.

I’ve been waiting on here for years for anyone to post one of their good ideas…

The only thing they got is, but Trump

The irony of the one and only poster who can't stop himself from blaming "joe bozo" biden saying that is rich indeed.

Supreme Court faces new criticism for redistricting decisions so close to the 2026 elections

The Supreme Court often relies on a 2006 ruling called Purcell v. Gonzalez, which gave rise to a term now known as the “Purcell principle” that urges judges to show restraint ahead of an election.

In that case, the court blocked a ruling that prevented Arizona from implementing a photo ID requirement for voter registration.

“Court orders affecting elections, especially conflicting orders, can themselves result in voter confusion and consequent incentive to remain away from the polls. As an election draws closer, that risk will increase,” the court said in the unsigned opinion.

The decision said, among other things, that the risk of voter confusion is a factor courts should consider before they block an election rule.
...
“It is one thing for state legislatures to alter their own election rules in the late innings and to bear the responsibility for any unintended consequences. It is quite another thing for a federal district court to swoop in and alter carefully considered and democratically enacted state election rules when an election is imminent,” Justice Brett Kavanaugh explained in a 2020 case from Wisconsin.

But in that very case, Kavanaugh also expressed a broader sentiment: “The court’s precedents recognize a basic tenet of election law: When an election is close at hand, the rules of the road should be clear and settled,” he wrote.

In another 2020 case, also from Wisconsin, the court used similarly broad language, referring to “the wisdom of the Purcell principle, which seeks to avoid this kind of judicially created confusion.”
