"If you don't have a free press, you don't have human rights" - wise words from a journalist who helped break the Panama Papers – at Panama

Excellent resource from @NASEDorg with all the key dates for the election in every state: when mail ballots go out, certification deadlines, etc. nased.org/2026dates
News: The PA Supreme Court has upheld a lower court decision to keep Andrew Tupone, the Green Party candidate running in PA’s 7th congressional district, off the ballot.
Background here from @justin_sweitzer cityandstatepa.com/politics/…
When @DHSgov first told Pennsylvania about the potential noncitizen registered voters in July, it told @PAStateDept that Social Security numbers had been used in some of the matches. But the Sept. 9 email said that DHS had not used “federal enumerators” like SSN. I asked DHS
SCOOP: DHS said it found 14,576 potential noncitizen voters on PA's voter rolls, but said little about its methodology. @ByCarterWalker has obtained the most detailed description so far for @VotebeatUS

After running 18m voters through DHS database, TXidentified roughly 2700 people who could be non-citizens
Officials investigated those 2700 and wound up referring just 117 of them to the AG. Nearly 600 people flagged as non-citizens were actually citizens (staggering 21% error)

Eyyyyy I write for @TheAtlantic now!
I spoke with folks in Missouri about the redistricting mayhem and what it all means for the health of our democracy.

My wife is making me watch Dancing with the Stars. They just explained the voting for this season and there are two candidates with the name Connor, so you have to also text the first letter of the last name to vote. My first thought: “There are going to be so many lost votes.”
.@Commish_Schmidt says just now this ruling is a "major victory" for Pennsylvania voters and provides them with finality as they start to receive mail ballots.

Delaware loves its corporations. @DionNissenbaum spent some time in a beach town where a hotel can cast a ballot. This story has mermaids, election law, and trusts. What more could you want? votebeat.org/national/2026/0…
