50+ NY orgs came together to fight for justice in Palestine and pressure President Biden to listen to his base before itโs too late. Take action - vote blank - join us ๐
President Biden just approved more weapons days ago and is already poised to send more in the coming days. Every day that he refuses to listen to his base and fight for a

We at the NYSBOE wish to remind everyone a third and final time that there is no Early Voting tomorrow. If for some reason you ignored our previous two posts, perhaps the addition of a third exclamation point will illustrate just how important this information is. Thank you. ๐
politicos say 2024 is down to Biden vs. Trump, but yesterday's primaries in NY, WI, RI, CT had measurable showings for "Uncommitted" over Biden's policy on Gaza

just correcting some confusion this article has caused: BLANK BALLOTS WILL BE COUNTED AND REPORTED (that's required by law). The only question is when we will have access to the number. Vote blank April 2 (early voting March 23-30) New York!
If Biden doesnโt listen to his base November is going to be a disaster. We have to keep the pressure up. For Palestine and for our own democracy:

โBidenโs weakest showing was in the 1st Congressional District, which includes St. Louis and much of St. Louis County, where he received 75% of the votes. Uncommitted votes accounted for 21.4% of the total.โ
This is โฆ

Jeffries says he's "certainly not concerned" about a large uncommitted vote in the New York primary.
Says Democratic base enthusiasm for Biden has "increased significantly in discernible ways" since his State of the Union.
Elections are upon us & Palestine is on the ballot. Is your NY Rep pro-ceasefire? Do they want to end subsidies for Israeli War Crimes? Are they funded by the AIPAC of NY?

OOF not correct! BLANK BALLOTS WILL BE COUNTED AND REPORTED (that's required by law). The only question is when we will have access to the number. The NYS BOE is saying they aren't going to report them as a separate category on election night. Vote blank for Palestine NY

Acting collectively is powerful. Since Marianne doesn't have a path to earning delegates, but blank votes are counted and reported, we think voting blank is the best way we can send a clear message together that we care about Palestine and want a cease fire specifically

Voting blank is showing you are an engaged voter who cares about Palestinian human rights. That's a worthwhile action to take.

They arenโt reporting blanks as a category election night. But blank votes will be counted in the vote total and itโs possible we will be able to deduce the ballpark blank count by subtracting the votes from Biden. Even if we canโt, weโll have it eventually so itโs still good!
@gregorbkny
@taliaotg
@bri_guy_ny
We have confirmation the machines will count the blank votes in the total so we believe we will be able to get a ballpark count election night. Even if we can't it's still worthwhile for New Yorkers to be counted on record as pro-Palestine voters and voting blank is our best bet!
@liberalpotus24

Since thereโs no path for Marianne to earn delegates and votes for her can be spun as about other issues, we think itโs better to send a unified message by voting blank and encourage others to join us โ๐ผ
