We had one of these for 2020. Post any news you find about voter suppression, intimidation, or "stealing the election" in this thread.

This morning I opened YouTube and was greeted by a TYT thumbnail - poll workers are being trained in active shooter drills. It's really scary how low the level of discourse has fallen here.

The thing that worries me are the online bots that have become much more sophisticated. Here is a good example:



These sorts of bots can collectively help reshape narratives, spread misinformation, reaffirm beliefs, and spread or justify extreme points of view. Especially with AI, it’s going to become so much harder to weed them out, and I worry they actually convince a good number of people to not vote, vote for someone they wouldn’t have otherwise voted for, hold extreme beliefs, or become terribly misinformed.

Here is the TYT segment in question, which I'm watching now. Poll workers in swing states are being taught active shooter drills and given first aid kits containing tourniquets. It's not just about lack of gun control. If not for our toxic political discourse, polling places would be no riskier than anywhere else in America. I'm glad I'm voting by mail this year.
