"In the two weeks before October's election, more people than ever before (454,000 people) enrolled to vote, including more than 100,000 enrolments on election day.

The Electoral Commission did not expect this number of late enrolments, putting pressure on its systems, the report said."

Its now a common refrain in Indian politics that BJP has no qualms inducting leaders from parties that they have accused of misgovernance and corruption before. But are turncoats really a post-2014 phenomenon? I and Abhishek Jha attempt to answer to this question with the limited data we have available.

Long read including interview with 🙋‍♂️ in 🇳🇱 newspaper de Volkskrant on AI and elections.

On disinformation, targeting, electoral integrity, fostering conflict and confusion, the role of voters and responsibility of political actors.

It is very good that media pay attention to and cover these developments, creating awareness without contributing to fear-mongering.

Macron, président des "jeunes"? Seuls 8% des 18-24 ans et 11% des 25-34 ans voteront Valérie Hayer aux Européennes contre 32% pour Bardella. Le SNU, la répression lors des émeutes pour Nahel, la chasse au "wokisme" dans les universités,... étonnant résultat en effet! https://www.francetvinfo.fr/elections/elections-europeennes-la-majorite-presidentielle-confrontee-a-la-desertion-de-la-jeunesse_6517532.html

Macron relativise l'échec à priori inéluctable de son camp aux Européennes: "Ce scrutin est européen, il n'aura pas de conséquences sur la politique nationale", martèle le président à ses interlocuteurs. Macron affirmait l'inverse lors des Sénatoriales, se projetant déjà... dans les Européennes. La fuite en avant continue...

Edit - I fixed the date! Sorry for the error!

Reminder for Oregonians: Primary is Tuesday, May 21!

Registered voters should have already gotten a voter's pamphlet and ballot, but in case it got lost in the mail here's a reminder 😁

Here's the OPB ballot guide for 2024:

Attal s'engage pour les Européennes, contraint et forcé par Macron (je vous en parlais): le Premier ministre fignole un discours "combattif" pour la semaine prochaine tout en préparant un déplacement en province. Matignon goûte peu de lire qu'Attal reculerait face à Bardella: "Gabriel sait débattre et il aime ça, il ne manque pas de courage", selon un soutien. "Pour le moment, c'est notre meilleur espoir pour les Européennes". C'est dire...
