A woman on Twitter claimed to get a letter from a group called the Voter Participation Center that says they would track and report whether or not she voted.
Archive: https://archive.ph/20221107060626/https://twitter.com/ENBrown/status/1589449194040803328
What is the Voter Participation Center?
Well, it's a 501(c)(3) that helps "people register and cast ballots."

From FY 2019 to FY 2020 the VPC saw an over $50M increase in contributions and grants for their work... and still managed to end the year down 12M in net assets.

Wouldn't you know it, in August 2020, VPC printed half a million incorrect ballot applications in the state of Virginia ALONE.

And in October of 2020, ProPublica published a deep dive into their operation, claiming that VPC sent out MILLIONS of unsolicited ballots to people.

Which begs the question:
With tens of millions more dollars flooding the coffers at VPC and the ability to print and send ballots to people unsolicited...
If they're tracking who does and doesn't cast ballots in elections (and have since 2013).. how easy would it be to use that info to fill in the gaps?
Their mission statement on their website says they help people "register and CAST BALLOTS" after all.
Just some food for thought.

I have a fun little resource to share with y'all. It's not a game changer or anything, but it's a site called Moat that allows you to see all the creative ads a brand/agency/group has ever had running on the internet.
For example: Planned Parenthood, The World Health Organization, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and The Anti-Defamation League.
Visit this URL: https://moat.com/advertiser/
And type in whatever you're curious about. It's a little finnicky but it's an interesting way to get an overview of what people are being shown as they browse the internet and the messaging therein.
Have fun!

This becomes even more useful when you look for messaging/groups/resources offered for voting by mail, for example.

What does it do? You can find a list of every single domain email address belonging to a specific website, as well as get a list of every single person associated with it. This is supposed to be for networking and creating marketing leads, but... y'know. We can get creative here.
It is a plugin for Chromium browsers: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/email-finder-by-snovio/einnffiilpmgldkapbikhkeicohlaapj
One caveat: You do have to provide a phone number to sign up, but it doesn't actually get verified. I made one up. ;)
It is very, VERY handy.

PS: I'm not getting paid to share these or anything. I've had a little list of new tools I've been using running for a while and decided to share some of them rather than just keep them to myself. :P

There's a lot of dooming still going on about the last couple of days, but there are stories just like this one everywhere.
State and federal elections are a big problem. Yes. We know this.
But we've been saying there is a renewed understanding that local elections matter significantly when it comes to your day-to-day well being.
I'll be at Threadfest this weekend, but I'll try to work on compiling a list of smaller election results that have potential for big impact.

I'll be at Threadfest this weekend, but I'll try to work on compiling a list of smaller election results that have potential for big impact.
For example in North Carolina, which is often considered a "swing state":
- The state supreme court went from a 4-3 R majority to a 5-2 supermajority.
- The state senate is now a Republican supermajority.
- State house is one seat short of a supermajority.
- Four Republicans were elected to the North Carolina Court of Appeals Tuesday, defeating all Democratic candidates.
There is a LOT of good happening in many places.
