NARA has no jurisdiction over department sites so I’m sorry. I don’t know who to ask but maybe you could start with the Public Affairs folks at State?

We serve as an election official in our jurisdiction and this - this is scaring the shit out of us. We use Dominion machines like virtually every other state. What is this going to mean for “fair and free elections”? We already have paper ballot integrity. WTF.

Dominion Voting Systems, which was at the center of false fraud allegations in 2020, has been sold

In non partisan elections you can read up on the things a candidate has done or supports. You can ask your like minded friends or consult the League of Women Voters for their research. Vote for people who support what YOU support.

Very much worth a read.
@marcelias, I join you in refusing to let hopelessness prevail. I will fight with all the privilege and power I have at my hand to keep this country from failing.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.
