In October 2023, Polish voters made waves by ousting the Law and Justice (PiS) party, which had hijacked the judicial system and media since 2015.
Their journey back to democracy isn't straightforward.
@jwildeboer sofar it looks bad for #NSAfD as #VoterTurnout is on a 25+ year high!

What was the plausible path...
for the colonies
for the US to abolish slavery
for the US to give women the vote
The path was to massively TALK and WALK about it
#voterturnout and the 50% unregistered, why does #corporatenews not talk about it? (
money?)
#Oregon and #NYState make it easy with #votebymail
This is from the Multnomah County (Oregon) Elections Division website at about 10 am PST. The county contains Portland. The voter turnout number is as of 6 pm last night. Based on that number, the Elections Division is predicting an 80% turnout for this election.
If people are voting in these numbers across the country -- and the increased turnout is driven by Democratic voters -- tonight's results could be very interesting indeed.

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.

As I am convinced that KamalaWalz will win the election [at least the popular vote]; it is now up to the population of the USA to defend the outcom.
As a European I will, from this day, silence myself for at leats a week.
The #Republican #DreamTeam will #SaveAmerica… from the perennial problem of low #VoterTurnout.

Thinking about the tiny crowd sizes at #Trump rallies, compared to the massive size of #Harris rallies, I don't think it's a good indicator of #VoterTurnout: it just means is that his cult of personality has shrunk to the point that fewer people are clamoring to see him. If we compare it with the #polls, it means most people who say they plan to #vote for him who are no longer engaged enough to see him.
This feels like a reflection of a bigger problem that we've had trying to get some democratic solution to #DonaldTrump: so many of his voters are completely unengaged with every part of the system. They are impossible to reach or argue with because they don't leave the house or ask questions, and when you do get to talk about politics with them, they're immersed in #misinformation and conspiracy theories, or have simply decided all #politicians are equally corrupt and don't see a point.
They're not just a #SilentMajority, they're what #SerjTankian called the "#UnthinkingMajority".
@punklawyer Personally, I still think the Cockblocking of #BernieSanders & #AOC was a contributing factor to the 2016 election loss of #HilaryClinton.
Cuz both #Sanders and #OcasioCortez could've really won with massive #VoterTurnout but #AmericanOligarcy made shure they'd get yeeted from the race...
After all, the #USA is an #Oligarchy...
@dboo I wonder if low turnout statistics incentivize voters to vote, or normalizes not voting. With a high population turnover in Fbx I think these stats give a pessimistic view of resident participation. Aggressive purging of tax rolls isn’t the solution. Maybe attach personal voting turnout % with PFD correspondence? #voterturnout
Turnout set to rise at 2024 EU polls, as voters praise Ukraine stance https://www.euractiv.com/section/elections/news/turnout-set-to-rise-at-2024-eu-polls-as-voters-praise-ukraine-stance/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Eurobarometer #EuropeanParliamentelections #voterturnout
...the Greater #London Area, including some adjacent areas not east of it (i.e.the coastal counties) voted #remain.
From the news I remember that they attributed the loss to stay-at-home voters who didn't bother to go to the polls.
Would be interesting to have another map which includes #VoterTurnout to validate this statement on a statistical level.

Hi all, I have been around for a couple of weeks, so I think a proper #Introduction is in order. I am a political scientist and mainly interested in #PoliticalEquality -- and why it is so hard to achieve. My research focuses on #VoterTurnout, political #participation more generally, and substantive and descriptive #representation. I use #rstats and like #dataviz.
