Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

With 17 Candidates and Unusual Voting Rules, Memphis Mayoral Race Gets Jumbled - Bolts Memphis is a rare city to hold its elections in just one round, however low the winner’s share—an anomaly that’s decades in the making, from a court ruling enforcing racial equity to GOP preemption.

My note on FL having banned RCV gives this shades of of what Bolts reported on a few years ago in Memphis — which is the biggest city that has a fully one-round system in the nation (and there, too, the context is the state has banned RCV) boltsmag.org/memphis-mayo...

Nebraska U.S. Senate race filled with alleged ‘plants,’ campaigns say • Nebraska Examiner Ricketts and Osborn deny any involvement with party primary candidates. They are currently in a heated campaign.

Dan Osborn is hoping to win the Nebraska Senate race as an independent this year, after losing by 6 in 2024.

Will there be a Dem nominee in the race? Dems are accusing the GOP of having recruited a Dem to run in the Senate primary—the candidate, Forbes, attends anti-abortion events.
