I was out at Chanonry Point yesterday filming for Channel 5, all went well and we even had some dolphins go trundling by - among the nine or so that we saw were these two, my namesake "Charlie" is the dorsal fin on the left, his buddy Clyde is the smaller fin on the right. #ChanonryPoint #Dolphins #Nature #PhotoID
#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote
By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

#Wisconsin: What to know about April's #VoterID ballot referendum
By: Emilee Fannon, Mar 27, 2025
MADISON, Wis. (CBS 58) -- "Voters will not only have to present a #PhotoID to vote on April 1, but they'll also be asked about adding that requirement to the state constitution.
"It's part of a constitutional amendment that will appear on ballots across the state.
"The ballot referendum asks voters, 'shall section 1m of article III of the constitution be created to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law?'
"A 'yes' vote would enshrine Wisconsin's voter requirement in the state constitution, a move that would make it harder for a court to strike down the law or for lawmakers to repeal.
"Voting 'no' would not add the state's voter ID law to the constitution.
"If the ballot measure is approved or rejected, little would change for Wisconsin voters because the existing photo ID law has been on the books for nearly a decade, said Bryna Godar at the State Democracy Research Initiative at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
"However, #Republican lawmakers who authored the amendment say it's designed to protect the law from legal challenges in wake of the state Supreme Court gaining a 4-3 #LiberalMajority in 2023."

Profits go up!
Hacks go up, too!
MoneyGram hack – includes SSNs and photo ID for some
The government's voter ID scheme risks the very principle of free and fair elections. One voter turned away is one too many.
Over 2 million people lack #photoID in the UK, and these undemocratic plans risk blocking them from the ballot box.
According to the Electoral Commission, 16,000 voters were turned away at the last general election. One voter being turned away from a single #polling station is one too many.
Nobody should be turned away because their driving licence is still in their maiden name, or a poll worker thinks they don't look like an old passport photo.
With no right to appeal, the UK now has a more restrictive ID regime than many US states.
Add your name to tell the government that this scheme needs to be scrapped

The Change we need in the UK will only happen if you vote today
Please Vote. If you want Change, you need to vote.
Everyone remember your photo ID tomorrow and remember Labour said they'd keep Photo ID so if you don't have to, don't vote for them
@dagoien @davidallengreen Whether or not it's designed to, it certainly has that effect; and requiring #PhotoID as well, as the UK government is for the first time doing this #GeneralElectionUK, is definitely intentional #VoterSuppression.
Please Vote and remember your #PhotoID on 4th July
#Transgender #voters in the #UK's #GeneralElection say they face #photoID #barrier.
#Voters who do not #look like their #photoID or have a different #name risk being #turnedaway if the #staff have "#reasonabledoubt" they are not who they say they are, according to the #ElectionsAct 2022.

UK peeps, my polling card for the general election has arrived. If yours hasn't then check you're registered to vote. If you aren't, you've got until Sunday. Don't forget to make sure that you've got (correct) photo ID too. #UKElection #PhotoID
