Massive comms challenge for people who care about voting rights and 2026: make sure people understand these new voter suppression laws re: the timing of mail in voting so that their votes won't be lost — esp. difficult because the laws vary across states, creating ambiguity that can be exploited.
Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere.
But now Trump hates it.
So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes - Bolts
Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

A 'Malignant Narcissist' is a severe personality type combining traits of NPD with antisocial features, marked by grandiosity, lack of empathy, manipulation, and aggression, often finding pleasure in others' suffering, exhibiting paranoia, and actively exploiting and harming people without remorse.

The only way Russia can win in Ukraine is if they destroy the will of the population to live or defend. This is why it deploys millions of bots and thousands of propagandists across every nation and language. They lie to create despair, disillusionment, and turn populations against Ukraine.
