Yes, please be patient as election officer teams have to follow legal procedures to "ascertain" the results. It's like doing taxes but after you woke up at 4am and worked a 13 hour day dealing with a thousand people.

The City of Falls Church is at 38% turnout to end early voting today.

Happy Halloween. Instilling fear in the hearts of all opposing teams, we are the scary Super Bowl Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles! #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly 🦅🏈🇺🇸

Former Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley reflects on nearly two decades in election administration and his ongoing efforts with Issue One and the Committee for Safe and Secure Elections to protect democracy nationwide. Read more: https://loom.ly/5s-22j4 #thefulcrum #citizenconnect

I finished Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City by Matthew Desmond. A must read for understanding root causes and solutions to poverty and housing issues. Heartbreaking, infuriating, the way public policy has rewarded profit over human dignity. 📚👀 #booksky

I joined @realsharonmcmahon.bsky.social #Governerds #BookClub last season and while I did not reup this season, this is one of the books and she gets Justice Barrett for a discussion with the club. I just finished and it’s a fascinating look at the court from her pov. 1/ 📚👀 #booksky

EAGLES BLOCK THE FIELD GOAL [AGAIN] TO WIN THE GAME JORDAN DAVIS! MERRILL REESE AND MIKE QUICK ON THE CALL! #FlyEaglesFly

I love the Tush Push. And the more other people hate it, the more I love it.

Finished The Quiet Damage: QAnon and the Destruction of the American Family by Jesselyn Cook. Very worth reading. Especially if you have friends or family who are QAnon or adjacent. It’s an addiction and the cure is very similar.

Nonpartisan elections director Dave Bjerke spends much of his (limited) free time with his family, as a combination swim team-soccer-marching band dad. He also has nearly 20 years of experience facilitating elections. Get to know Dave: https://tinyurl.com/2p9kc9h3

Finished my first Taylor Jenkins Reid novel on a recommendation from my wife. Carrie Soto is Back. Very fun and gripping. It makes me want to play more tennis. 👀📚 #booksky

I’m once again asking #Eagles fans to follow Tommy Lawlor @lawlornfl.bsky.social to lure him here from the other place. #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly 🦅🏈🇺🇸

Finished reading Jaws. If you love the movie, you absolutely must read the book. There are some amazing story lines that had to be cut from the movie. So good. 👀📚 #booksky #jaws

I have finally finished book 4 of Robert Caro’s The Years of Lyndon Johnson. I hope Caro is ready to publish the final book soon. Just an incredible level of detail and understanding of American political history. This one doubles as a biography for JFK and RFK to a major extent. 📚👀 #booksky

I had a great time talking to Amelia and Rebecca as part of ISSUE ONE's Faces of Democracy series @issueonereform.bsky.social Thanks to @thefulcrum-us.bsky.social for publishing it! thefulcrum.us/democracy/me...

A new Substack from CEO & Founder, Laura Brill, is out today. 📣 November 2025 is about to get bigger: California is set to join NJ, PA, and VA in the group of states with consequential statewide elections less than 3 months from today. Read the full article here: buff.ly/GFOUlsM

Woohoo #Eagles football is back! Reminder: Tommy Lawlor has a #bsky account! @lawlornfl.bsky.social If enough people follow, maybe he’ll cross post. I’m done with the other place. #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly 🦅🏈🇺🇸

One thing I'm watching in the Virginia General Assembly are these meetings on the possibility of moving our odd year elections to even year elections. It would be better turnout for local elections and more efficient use of tax dollars locally. www.wvtf.org/news/2025-07...

Currently reading Vasily Grossmans’ Life and Fate.

Like many who have been waiting to hear who will drum for foo fighters next, I definitely looked at the Matt Cameron news in that context.

Good morning, it's the Democratic Primary here in the City of Falls Church in which we've had over 6% turnout in early voting. The first hour is always very low, 18 so far, so I'd like to again say that we should change to match DC and MD with 7am to 8pm instead of the current 6am to 7pm.

Omg. The Long Walk was the book that got me hooked on Stephen King and this trailer looks amazing! 📚👀 #booksky youtu.be/vAtUHeMQ1F8?...

#Eagles fans, I’m going to need more of you to follow Lawlor so he posts here #FlyEaglesFly 🦅🏈🇺🇸 2nd round pick Andrew Mukuba safety Texas

We now have confirmation of Withdrawal. Virginia registrars can now proceed on making the changes to either cancel the Republican Primary ballot all together, or redesign the ballot in places that are having Republican Primaries for other offices.

However, Virginia registrars are halting all preparations until the Virginia Department of Elections receives and communicates the official withdrawal documement. Hopefully this morning.

Just finished Angela Merkel’s memoir “Freedom” Totally worth reading if you pay attention to international affairs for fun to see all of the news of our lifetime from her point of view. Just a fascinating perspective from a scientist turned politician. 📚👀 #booksky

I'm happy the turnout is great, but as an election administrator, I cannot fathom printing less than 100% of the ballots of all registered voters, especially when I know this election will make national news. I know this is not SOP but I feel like it should be.

What a nice surprise. Thank you Delegate @marcussimon.com for the recognition!

Free book to read! 📚👀 #booksky

I finally finished House by Tracy Kidder. This was gifted to me by a colleague after we built our house. Wife and I started reading it on a road trip but never got around to finishing it. So I found it on audio and finished it. /1 #booksky 📚👀

Hey #Eagles fans, Tommy Lawlor finally has a #bsky account! @lawlornfl.bsky.social #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly 🦅🏈🇺🇸

I finished George Mason: Forgotten Founder. Really happy to read his bio having read so many other founders. I went to George Mason University for my BA&Masters but didn’t know really anything about him. The title is apt. Not my favorite bio but worth the education. #booksky 📚👀

Universal vote by mail is good for democracy. This is a step back and feeds into conspiracy theories to make more obstacles to vote.

Thank you, Apple Watch, for always reminding me to stand while I am standing.

1/ A reminder: The Supreme Court refused to enforce the plain language of the 15th Amdt. for a century. Southern states openly defied it, and the Court did nothing. There is nothing stopping them from doing the same on birthright citizenship. Plain language means nothing without political power.🧵⬇️

Fun facts: Eagles appeared in three Super Bowls over the last 8 games, won 2. Between the two championships, there were two different coaches, two different QBs with extremely different skill sets (both won MVP) and 85% player turnover. That’s insane.

WaPo had a long history of giving free subscriptions to .gov emails. Bezos recently took that away and now spams my .gov email near daily with ads to buy a subscription at a discount. I’m about to put a block on WaPo.

Wife and I read “Behind Her Eyes” and the end was worth it. So we watched the Netflix show to see how well they stayed true to the book. Honestly they did a great job sticking to the book, but it was just not a good adaptation. Not like Queens Gambit which was excellent. #Booksky #Bookclub 📚👀
