Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: ACLU has a webpage that provides answers to scenarios you might experience while you are voting.English
2·1 year agoYou say many states outlaw faithless electors, but a shocking amount, 34 out of 50 states, still count the vote, with only 2 of those 34 actually penalizing it. The rest of the States have proper protections against such a thing from occurring, but faithless electors doing some real damage to an election is still a possibility. Will it happen this time around? Probably not. They’ve never really come close to changing the outcome of an election, but if they worked together, they could!
It is worth noting that the 2016 election had 10 faithless electors and was the first election in over 100 years in which multiple electors worked to alter the result of the election.

6·1 year agoI’m more worried there will be a record high amount of faithless electors this election season.


Kiwi Farms is an immensely creepy stalking forum run by manchild Joshua Conner Moon out of his mom’s house (no, literally). The people who are stalked are what are known as “lolcows” to the site’s userbase or “exceptional individuals.”
Due to difficulties with enforcing anti-harmful speech legislation on the internet, there hasn’t been much legal action taken on Kiwi Farms, despite them being responsible for harming many people (directly and indirectly), costing them jobs and partners, exaggerating and spinning rumors, or even mentally abusing their victims to the point of suicide. In fact, the owners maintain that there is nothing illegal about the site, citing technicalities (i.e. “we don’t harass people; our users do!”) and phonebooks also distributing personal information (because “sharing the address of this person we find weird is totally the same as a printed 411!”).
