Yes 75K+ is a large number but for context, Harris County is better position to process these quickly and more efficiently because 1. They are better resourced; they have IT teams, VR staff and 2. They have better tech — they don’t work directly on TEAM #txlege
The Harris County Tax Office says @TxDPS dumped 108,000 backlogged voter registration records on them. After removing duplicates, they have 75,000 records to process.
Early voting starts in 24 days.

Got this from @TxDPS this evening after two days of seeking answers but we’re digging deeper — #txlege
SCOOP: DPS failed to send Texas county registrars an unknown number of voter registration applications submitted through its online portal. #txlege

A single woman reporting amongst a trove of dudes?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Girls Rock
Among the troves of documentation the @LibraryofMich and @MIHistoryCenter archives had on the 1961-1962 Constitutional Convention, was a detailed list of who covered it.

I say this roughly eight times an hour but @NataliaECG is SO cool and you should absolutely be reading everything she writes
At @amprog event @shennabellows says about @NataliaECG scoop on delays by Texas DPS sending voter registrations to counties, “I read stories like that and it just makes me crazy.”
So read the story: votebeat.org/texas/2026/09/2…

Hello all😁💙
There's 26(.2) days until the Detroit Free Press Marathon and I'm running to raise funds and awareness for Small Talk Children's Advocacy Center, a nonprofit in my community that helps kids get back to being kids after abuse.
Please considering supporting this organization/learning more about the work they do💙
"On Sunday, October 18th, journalist Anna Nichols is lacing up her running shoes for something bigger than a finish line. She’s taking on the Detroit Marathon to raise critical funds for Small Talk Children’s Advocacy Center, where kids and families impacted by abuse find safety, healing, and hope.
Every mile Anna runs is dedicated to the children who show incredible bravery in the face of trauma. Your support will help provide forensic interviews, therapy, advocacy, and prevention programs—life-changing services that ensure no child has to face abuse alone."

I like the idea that she took some wonderful pictures and was like "I need to release some music to show these off rq"

I'm hearing they're naming it "Puff and Honey Field" Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and "Honey and Puff Field" Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Sundays will switch back and forth but will probably favor Honey because she's meaner.
Fifth Third and the #Tigers will announce this afternoon the future name of Comerica Park, which is set to change following this season after the major bank merger.

One time Honey and Puff had to send an apology note and a gift card to a friend after they chewed through her MacBook charger

To be sure, U.S. DOJ election monitors aren't particularly unusual -- and generally not disruptive/noticeable --during elections. They were in Milwaukee in November 2024.
Here's a @Hayley__Harding writeup about U.S. DOJ monitors in Michigan in August

OK listen I'm not telling anyone how to run a campaign but if you are in Kansas or Tennessee or California and your campaign ads are breaking through to me, a voter in MICHIGAN, your targeting and ad buying folks are either very bad at their jobs, scamming you or both
