  1. P.R. in ALL regimes

    total votes / total members = equal votes to elect each member

    both REAL democracy and minority representation

  2. This paper about public policy is locked behind a private paywall.

    Ballot Access News blog posts are freely accesible. So is the monthly newsletter, after a delay.

    Therefore, we aren’t the intended audience of the paper. Abstracts aren’t enough to go off of.

  3. The alien enemies act says invasion, not declaration of war. The foreign terrorist illegal INVADERS are INVADING the USA.

  4. 50 U.S. Code § 21 – Restraint, regulation, and removal. [olde 1798 Alien enemies Act in USA Code] [[[az text]]] added

    Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any [[[foreign nation or government]]], or any [[[invasion or predatory incursion]]] is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any [[[foreign nation or government]]], and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile [[[nation or government]]], being of the age of fourteen years and upward, who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies.

    The President is authorized in any such event, by his proclamation thereof, or other public act, to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States, toward the aliens who become so liable; the manner and degree of the restraint to which they shall be subject and in what cases, and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those who, not being permitted to reside within the United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to establish any other regulations which are found necessary in the premises and for the public safety.

    What action of any foreign nation or government order/command/require a war with/invasion of the USA N-O-W ???

    Some PRIVATE criminal gang in a regime is NOT the govt of the regime.

    Olde pirate gangs have other USA laws regarding them.

    USA TODAY
    WASHINGTON – House Democrats’ are looking to target Republican incumbents in swing districts across the Rust Belt, upper Midwest and the Sun Belt – as well as several Trump allies who Democrats argue are beatable despite their big wins in 2024.

    The party’s congressional campaign arm, released its list of 35 targets for the 2026 midterm elections Tuesday morning and it features 12 incumbents from swing states President Donald Trump narrowly carried in the 2024 presidential election.

    35 X 100 PCT / 435 = X

    SOLVE FOR X.
    —–
    WITH P.R. ALL VOTES IN ***ALL*** DISTRICTS COUNT AND X = 100 PCT

  6. Fluoride has now been definitely found to make people dumber, and there are no facts behind the claims that it helps dental health. I’ve tried web searches and there was nothing. Asking dentists was also useless – it only yielded a “because I said so.”

    Fluoride is nothing but straight up poison.

  7. …any [[[invasion or predatory incursion]]] is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any [[[foreign nation or government]]], and the President makes public proclamation of the event,

    Both of which have occurred. If a declaration of war was required it wouldn’t have had the part after the OR.

  8. Well I’m Donald Trump, the one they’re talking about, if you talk crap about me you’ll get punched in the mouth.

    If you disrespect me, forget about it, forget it. Best case for you is you’ll survive to regret it.

  9. I’m the Boss of all Bosses, King of all Kings. I bring the world hope, I’m why we have nice things.

  10. I’m dubious about the paper.

    In the 2022 election, only 10 of 59 legislative races required an RCV count. In the other 49 races, the leading candidate received a majority. In most of the other races transfers were quite predictable.

  11. Last time I took human form, I got crucified. This time around, I won’t be so nice.
