So Labour got 3,650 more votes than National and six fewer seats. Cool system. 131-seat parliament. Eleven overhang. National won 42 electorates on 29% of the vote: seven seats they weren't entitled to. TPM got four more the same way. Worst result in thirty years of MMP. TOP cleared 5% for the first time and got seven seats. Proof the party vote works when you let it. Also proof the threshold nearly killed a party three elections running for no reason. Wrote up a fix before the election, ran the actual results through it over the weekend. STV list seats, provincial electorates instead of 71 tiny ones, mana whenua seats that can't be singled out because they're structurally identical to every other seat. Three preference-transfer scenarios. All three produce the same seat count. Charts, data, R code: https://codeberg.org/aenertia/nz-electoral-reform/src/branch/main/analysis/provisional-results.md CC-BY-4.0. Have at it. #nzpol #Election2026 #ElectoralReform #MMP #Aotearoa

🧵 Raphael Warnock was exactly right. Democrats must never again listen to neoliberal fake savants who pretend to have expertise when in fact, they know little about political science or even causation. A savvy party never voluntarily tries to become a regional party. #uspol #georgia #election2026

Tired of cups of tea and old boys club call outs? The Māori roll opt-in model already works. Extend it to everyone. One roll: ~17 provincial electorates (Northland, Canterbury, Taranaki. Not Epsom) alongside existing Māori seats. Same mechanism, same mana. Don't want an electorate? Stay on general, rank your party vote. One ballot. Actually simpler than MMP. No Epsom. No overhang. No parachute candidates. Can't run "abolish Māori seats" when they're structurally identical to the Southland seat. The Māori roll becomes the model, not the exception. 96 STV list seats handle proportionality. Electorates are for community voice. West Coast gets a champion at 32K people. Number the boxes. Done. #nzpol #Election2026 #ElectoralReform #ManaWhenua

Georgia just audited its voter rolls — and debunked Trump’s election lies…The list of states undermining Trump’s claims of widespread noncitizen voter fraud grew Tuesday, when a Georgia audit found the state’s voter rolls were 99.9% accurate and had no evidence of malicious manipulation. #Elections #Election2026 #USPol #USPolitics

Michigan’s 7th District is one of the toughest races in the country. Democrats need a nominee who can connect with independents and working families, not just Democratic activists. Matt Maasdam spent his life serving our country. Now he’s wants to serve Michigan. #MI07 #Election2026

"Republican groups backing Collins have already spent or reserved over $112 million in ads, while Democrats have reserved only half that amount... Given Maine’s critical role in deciding control of the U.S. Senate next year, however, Democrats nationwide could flood the state with funds. For Democrats to flip the Senate, they must accomplish two goals: win competitive elections in... New Hampshire, Michigan, and Georgia and flip four states currently held by Republicans. Maine is the only state with a current Republican senator up for election this year in a state that Kamala Harris won in 2024."
