When college students in Dutchess County were systematically disenfranchised, @marcmolinaro said nothing. When his county BOE manipulated a disabilities report of a student poll site he knew well, crickets. Now he weighs in on university presidents. Disgusting. @JoshRileyUE.

In 2016, @realDonaldTrump Trump said @tedcruz “illegally stole” the Iowa caucuses, and called for the results to be nullified. He later called the Colorado caucuses “crooked” and “rigged” when he lost there too. Has he ever accepted defeat without saying he was cheated?.

Great to see work of @BardCollege @YaelBromberg @allintovote @LetNYvote @GenVoteUS and @AndrewGoodmanF thx for amplifying @rickhasen @marceelias and @mayawiley.
An N.Y. Law Mandates Campus Polling Sites. Why Are There Still So Few?. Activists were excited about a law requiring polling places on campuses with more than 300 registered voters. But its implementation has proven slow and erratic. #HigherEd

Great piece on our work to enforce NY law for on-campus poll sites: “If colleges and universities remain silent [about] a law providing the opportunity for students to vote more easily, then they’re not fulfilling their mission.”

Nice to see @marceelias rt my oped. @BardCollege successfully sued four times to protect student voters and get an on-campus poll site—thx @YaelBromberg. Our work with @LetNYvote helped pass the on-campus mandate. Now let’s enforce it. @GenVoteUS .@commoncauseny @GenVoteUS.

I invite @marcmolinaro to @BardCollege to see the exhibit Unissued Diplomas to see those killed in Ukraine by Russia. This one from Kiev Mohyla, where I taught 30 years ago. Marc, your party in Congress is blocking aid to Ukraine. Where do you stand?
