With 39% of the expected vote reporting in this race, we've got a close one: Hammer leads Norris 53–47%. #ARSOS

Trump's new elections executive order attempts to use the Postal Service to control who can vote by mail. But courts may very well step in to block it before the election. www.votebeat.org/national/202...

Today is the Republican runoff for Arkansas secretary of state! State Sen. Kim Hammer is backed by Tom Cotton and Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Army veteran Bryan Norris is backed by Mike Lindell and Michael Flynn. The winner will likely become Arkansas's next top election official.

Break up the Nats!

I don’t get the Duke hate. Why does everyone care so much about a mediocre college in the middle of nowhere?

A court just ruled that 37 disputed ballots should be counted in the 2025 Hamtramck, MI, mayor's race. The winner has already been in office for 3 months—but this might put him out of a job. www.votebeat.org/michigan/202...

In quick succession, Florida and South Dakota have passed bills to require registering voters to prove their citizenship, à la the federal SAVE America Act. www.dakotanewsnow.com/2026/03/26/g...

Arson Judge would’ve never.

Absolute malpractice to end the Manfred interview without asking about the CBA negotiations.

Rob Manfred just claimed that fans like the extra runner in extra innings, but that’s not true. In a 2023 poll, MLB fans were divided on it, 38-39%. blogs.shu.edu/sportspoll/2...

Late to the party, but this is the ugliest score bug I’ve ever seen.

if you're not inherently excited for this event, please note that I recently subjected @baseballot.bsky.social and @pbump.com to an impromptu round of "name that pollster based on the crosstab formatting" and they got them all right

BREAKING: @SenatorBerger concedes defeat following today's recount. "While this was a close race, the voters have spoken, and I congratulate Sheriff Page on his victory," he said in a news release. Story to come... #ncpol #ncga

Imagine trust in polling being at an all time low and then doing “polls” where a quarter of respondents are AI agents hallucinating answers based on exit polling.

Good event to attend if you’re interested in potential election interference:

An update in NC Senate President Phil Berger's still-unresolved primary: He currently trails by 23 votes after a machine recount. There will be a partial hand recount tomorrow.

It’s horrible.

We finally know who will be going to the GOP runoff in #TX19 (an open, safely red seat): Tom Sell and Abraham Enriquez. Enriquez was only a couple hundred votes ahead of the third-place finisher.

With no Callais opinion today, here’s what the status of primaries looks like. Unless states do something extraordinary (like move or redo primaries), now too late for Callais to have much impact on the midterms.

Well, that's one state that won't be redistricting for 2026.

Missed this the other day: An NPR/PBS/Marist poll found that only 31% of Americans think it's acceptable for people to bet on elections. maristpoll.marist.edu/wp-content/u...

Does the World Series have *this*?

Rob Manfred shaking every player’s hand after the WBC is gonna be the last time he and the players are friendly to each other this year.

Another World Baseball Classic, another American strikes out to end the final 3-2.

OK, this is super cool. They are projecting the starting lineups onto the field.

The Venezuela-majority crowd here in Miami booed the U.S. team when it was introduced.

Team Venezuela looking very loose “backstage”! Eduard Bazardo has a drum!

oh hell yes, had kalshi getting charged before april on polymarket at +2500

Venezuela’s 7th inning rally was the loudest I’ve ever heard a stadium.

🤌🤌🤌

One of many reasons DeSantis’s 2018 #FLgov win was one of the most consequential downballot elections in recent memory.

In a reminder of how hard it is to perfectly predict the Oscars, only 1 user on @goldderby.com even went 23 for 24 this year.

Well deserved. Now PTA can stop making movies, right?

Gotta respect the Marlins ending alcohol sales after the 7th but then selling beer at the dance party in the plaza outside after the game

This is the equivalent of losing the popular vote but winning the Electoral College

This whole stadium is standing for an Aaron Judge at-bat in the third inning.

Since this is a new category, no one really knew what to expect, but SINNERS was the nominal frontrunner here. To use political parlance, this does not look like a SINNERS wave election.

If I have to miss the Oscars, this is a pretty good alternative.

Off to a roaring start!

For whatever they're worth, here are my predictions for tonight's #Oscars... www.goldderby.com/my-predictio...

This is a very misleading push alert. Florida already has voter ID; this is a requirement to prove your citizenship when registering to vote. It’s a one-time thing but it’s also logistically much more complex.

With the Berger-Page recount looming, I made a list of all the people who might have a role in the post-election process (from the local board of elections to the N.C. Supreme Court) and also have connections to Berger. It's a long list: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol #ncga

This is a joke, right? www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
