August Election News

As we wait for the last presidential primary (Connecticut) and Biden to pick a veep, state elections continue.

We can update past primaries: in Puerto Rico, Biden received 36, Bloomberg 10 and Sanders 5 delegates; for some reason two delegates (121 Biden/3 Sanders so far) are not allocated yet for New Jersey and fifty-seven in New York. This is after six weeks and has been flagged as a major concern. Legislation and litigation pending. Again, both mail-in and in-person is important. And, Let the People Pick the President overall does a good job for the average person to promote the national vote compact [what about territories?] and the problems with the current electoral college approach.

Local elections continue with five states having various notables including the safer Republican (for them) choice winning in Kansas, a squad member winning in Michigan and Medicaid expansion in Missouri. The imperfect Affordable Act Cases Medicaid screw-up fix continues. Locals less important nationally are also selected in these primaries.
