Hudson County had 32 early voting locations this past June primary - the most out of any county in the state. However, the distribution of these sites was far from equal, with most locations concentration in the north part of the county.

Hard hitting reporting on what your Texan tax dollars were actually spent on to the tune of BILLIONS while Texan politicos touted “border security” CC:

MILLIONS of your💰were spent on office renos, new trucks, laptops and even dog food.

Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star was a bonanza for Texas cities, counties
Lone Star grants paid for pickups, office furniture, workout rooms and other items with little connection to border security. 'There it is,' we'll take it,' one county judge said of the state money.

Food for thought, maybe the county should find room in their budget for snacks instead of asking the public or government employees for donations 🤷🏻

Every vote will count in New Jersey’s governor race this fall. In 2021, deeply blue Hudson County helped deliver a narrow win - even with the lowest turnout in the state. Imagine our power if we actually showed up.

Let's not ignore that GEO Group, which runs Delaney Hall, got a billion dollar contract for the next decade to run this facility. ONE BILLION DOLLARS. And they aren't feeding people. They won't answer the phone. They refuse to let families in to visit bc it's unsafe. Where's that money going?

Senator Padilla was forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles while attempting to ask a question. Padilla was thrown down and handcuffed. A senator in his own state! (He has since been released.) The Trump regime is out of control.
