"Nov 3, 2024
What changes if more people showed up to vote? @GarrisonHayes dug into the numbers.
One answer emerges by comparing Minnesota and Tennessee—two states with vastly different voter turnout rates. Minnesota leads the nation, with nearly 80 percent of eligible voters participating in the 2020 election. With that, Minnesotans have elected leaders who have advanced a popular agenda: universal school meals, free public college tuition, paid family and medical leave, and the restoration of voting rights for formerly incarcerated people. According to polling, each of these proposals is broadly popular nationwide.
By contrast, in Tennessee, voter turnout in 2020 was only 59 percent—enabling a very unpopular Republican supermajority to ignore calls for stricter gun control despite widespread support. Instead, they’ve focused on banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and enacting some of the country’s harshest abortion laws. Tennessee once had abortion protections, but a historically low turnout election in 2014 paved the way for today’s restrictive policies.
The differences between Minnesota and Tennessee make it clear: Turnout has sweeping consequences. Go vote.

"Fox News Dudes Are Freaking Out Over Wives Voting" [2:30 min]

Quote by MJ
" Nov 1, 2024 #FoxNews #Voting #Women
Dear Jesse Watters: Why would your wife be afraid to tell you what she really thinks? What does that say about you?
The idea that women might vote differently from their husbands made the Fox News star's brain melt live on air this week. Referring to his current wife, Watters, with his trademark smirk, told his colleagues on The Five, “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that's the same thing as having an affair.” This comes from a man who admitted to his employer in 2017 that he was in a relationship with a colleague 14 years his junior—reportedly leading to his divorce from his first wife. “What else is she keeping from me?” Jesse mused, prompting guffaws from his fellow panelists.
Beyond hypocrisy, Mother Jones creator @katmabu argues that Watters’ reaction reveals the undercurrent of sexist resentment coursing through this year’s campaign, typified by Donald Trump, who just this week ominously vowed to protect women, “whether the women like it or not.”
It’s an issue that Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans alike have been eager to highlight, including former congresswoman and top Harris campaigner Liz Cheney, who told CBS’ Face the Nation on Wednesday, “I think you're going to have, frankly, a lot of men and women who will go into the voting booth and will vote their conscience, will vote for Vice President Harris.”
“They may not ever say anything publicly,” she added, “But the results will speak for themselves.”
Top Democrats are seizing on this dynamic. “Just remember that your vote is a private matter,” Michelle Obama told a Michigan rally last weekend. Soon, that private decision could have very public ramifications—for the entire country.

"How climate voters could swing the presidential election"
by Sachi Kitajima Mulkey & Kate Yoder for Grist [Nov 01, 2024] [Audio available]
https://grist.org/elections/climate-voters-swing-states-early-voting-harris-trump/
"In battleground states like Georgia, tens of thousands of climate-conscious voters who didn't show up in 2020 have already cast their ballots."
"In the final days before the presidential election, roughly 2,000 volunteers from all around the country are spending hours calling voters across 19 states. Their objective? Get people who care about climate change to the polls, particularly those who didn’t show up in the last presidential election."
"In an election expected to be won by a razor-thin margin, the estimated 8 million registered voters who care about the environment but didn’t vote in 2020 could swing entire states.. The organization has found 245,000 registered voters in Pennsylvania who care about climate change but seldom turn out to the polls."
"Research suggests that those climate voters who showed up in 2020 had a meaningful influence on the election. Climate change was the top factor that compelled voters under 45 who previously voted third-party, or not at all, to cast their ballots for President Joe Biden in 2020, according to a Navigator Research poll."
"Anyone who lists climate change as their top priority is considered a climate voter. But some segments of Americans are more likely to be in this group than others: Democrats, women, young people, Black people, and those with heritage from Asia and the Pacific Islands. “If you are more likely to directly feel the impacts of toxic air and toxic water and extreme weather, well, you’re probably going to care more about the climate crisis and environmental issues,” Stinnett said."
"...digital ad shown to voters in Georgia and North Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene conveys the stakes of the presidential election by illustrating how climate-enhanced storms might threaten babies born today."
"The Environmental Voter Project has a different method of nudging climate-concerned voters to the polls. The group hasn’t endorsed a candidate, and they don’t talk to voters about climate change at all. Instead../\..tactics rooted in behavioral science../\..the power of peer pressure../\..asking voters how they plan to vote — early, by mail, or by Election Day"
“All we’re trying to do,” Stinnett [the Environmental Voter Project JdeB] said, “is change someone’s behavior, rather than their minds.”

"Trump has vowed to gut climate rules. Oil lobbyists have a plan ready."
by Evan Halper and Josh Dawsey for the Washington Post [Oct 18, 2024]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/10/17/oil-industry-trump-climate-lobbying/
Quotes:
"As companies fall short on methane emission reductions, a top trade group has crafted a road map for dismantling key Biden administration rules."
"An influential oil and gas industry group../ [American Exploration and Production Council, or AXPC JdeB] \..has drafted detailed plans for dismantling landmark Biden administration climate rules after the presidential election"
"They reveal a comprehensive industry effort to reverse climate initiatives advanced during the past nearly four years of Democratic leadership. At the same time, the documents contain confidential data showing that industry’s voluntary initiatives to cut emissions from burning natural gas have fallen short."
"The policy plans, contained in documents distributed to a wide group of company executives at AXPC board meetings in April and August, also call for a repeal of more than a half-dozen executive orders that lie at the center of the Biden administration’s efforts to combat climate change. Taken together, the group’s goals amount to a monumental rollback of some of the most aggressive federal tools for cutting emissions."
“The data shows that the U.S. leads the world in emissions reduction because of the responsible production of oil and natural gas and we’re happy to engage any organization that wants to have a serious conversation on facts, science, and real solutions,” Bednar said in a statement. [BS with over 3 million abandonned pits leaking tons of methane JdeB]"
"At the gathering, Trump told industry executives that their best shot at a rewrite of climate policies that inhibit fossil fuel production would be to raise $1 billion to help propel him back into office."
"Trump “promised to grant their wishes,” said David Doniger, senior adviser to the NRDC Action Fund, the political arm of the Natural Resources Defense Council, the large environmental advocacy group. “And this is their wish list,” he said of the AXPC policy road map, which he reviewed at the request of The Post."
"ExxonMobil officials sought to distance themselves from the AXPC documents, saying the company does not agree with all of the plans being pursued by the group.
“We are aligned with them on many issues, but there are some issues where we are not,” said Bart Cahir, a senior vice president at ExxonMobil. He said ExxonMobil supports the methane fee."
"The confidential AXPC survey on methane emissions showed that while half the members that responded reduced methane flaring from 2021 to 2023, the rest went in the other direction. Flaring is the burning of excess natural gas, which contains methane, during fracking and oil production. Some companies more than doubled the amount of gas they flared"
"Outlined in the documents is more than a half-million dollars in political spending by AXPC to support Republicans in U.S. Senate races in Montana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, which could help push the chamber to GOP control. A small share of AXPC’s political spending goes to Democrats, mostly House members in oil- and gas-producing swing districts."
"Under the group’s plans, Biden climate measures would be replaced by new executive orders that promote fossil fuel production and lift a federal pause on the construction of massive infrastructure to export liquefied natural gas. Federal rules that require climate considerations to be taken into account for major infrastructure projects would be rewritten. That includes eliminating the Public Lands Rule, which reshuffled priorities involving federal land away from drilling and toward landscape and habitat protection."
"ExxonMobil said at the time that “the long-term nature of the climate change challenge requires that we all work together, and we look forward to working with the new Administration to put the U.S. on a path of achieving the goals of Paris.
ConocoPhillips says on its website that it accepts the scientific findings underpinning the Paris agreement, which it calls “a welcomed global policy response” to climate change.
A Hess climate disclosure starts with the company’s support of the Paris agreement’s goals."
"Independent monitoring groups say the companies are not living up to their pledges. The think tank Carbon Tracker published a REPORT CARD in March that found all the major oil and gas companies were far off track in meeting the Paris targets. ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips received among the worst grades. Hess was not included in the report."

"Big Oil Dishes Out Record $54.2 Million to Boost GOP Candidates: Analysis"
by Jake Johnson for Common Dreams [Oct 17, 2024]
https://www.commondreams.org/news/big-oil-donations-republicans
Quotes:
"A Sludge review of new federal filings shows that the fossil fuel industry has donated a record sum to groups dedicated to electing Republicans to the U.S. House and Senate."
"The latest wave of donations brings the fossil fuel industry's total to more than $54.2 million given to the CLF and SLF during the 2023-24 election cycle through September, according to Sludge's analysis," the outlet reported. "The two super PACs have launched tens of millions of dollars of ads in the month before Election Day, with control of both chambers of Congress up for grabs."
"The new analysis of Big Oil's spending in the final stretch of the 2024 campaign came months after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump urged major fossil fuel industry players to raise $1 billion for his White House bid. In exchange, Trump—who has campaigned on the slogan "drill, baby, drill"—said he would work to roll back climate rules put in place by the Biden-Harris administration."
"In 2010, the courts opened the floodgates for individuals and corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on our elections," Lynn said, alluding to the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling. "It's no coincidence that American politics has grown more and more polarized and divisive since then. Our system is broken, and we won’t be able to fix it until we eliminate the influence of money in politics and root out the corruption that comes with it."
