P.E.I.'s voter turnout, once the envy of Canada, is falling. What happened?
There have been a lot of elections on P.E.I. in recent years — four leadership conventions, three byelections, a federal election — with more potentially on the way. P.E.I.'s voter turnout, which used to lead the country, is trending downward. CBC’s Cody MacKay explains why.

"An employee alleging wrongdoing is permitted to share the complaint directly with congressional intelligence committees, provided the director of national intelligence has given instructions on how to securely transmit it, a process that usually only takes a few weeks; #Gabbard’s office has provided no such advice, which in effect has prevented the complaint from being shared, according to the report."

Judge blocks additional citizenship provisions in latest setback to Trump’s election executive order – The Seattle Times

By TOM VERDIN, The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked certain federal agencies from requesting citizenship status when distributing voter registration forms, the latest blow to a wide-ranging executive order on elections President Donald Trump signed last year.
U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington ruled that the Constitution’s separation of powers, giving states and to an extent Congress authority over setting election rules, are at the heart of the case.
“Put simply, our Constitution does not allow the President to impose unilateral changes to federal election procedures,” wrote the judge, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton.
Specifically, Kollar-Kotelly permanently blocked two provisions of the executive order that sought to impose proof-of-citizenship rules.
Her decision said agencies will not be allowed to “assess citizenship” before providing a federal voter registration form to people enrolling in public assistance programs. It also said the Secretary of Defense cannot require documentary proof of citizenship when military personnel register to vote or request ballots.
“Our democracy works best when all Americans can participate, including members of our military and their families living overseas. Today’s ruling removes a very real threat to the freedom to vote for overseas military families and upholds the separation of powers,” said Danielle Lang, a voting rights expert with the Campaign Legal Center, which is representing plaintiffs in the case.
The White House said Trump’s executive order was intended to ensure “election security” and said Friday’s ruling would not be the last word.

Republicans are trying to put additional restrictions on voting that mostly affect non-Republican voters. They're using the debunked scare tactic that "millions of non-citizens are voting."
Utah just completed a Republican-led review of over 2 million voter registrations. You know how many non-citizens they found? One! And they never even voted.
That means 99.9999516% of the voters were confirmed as US citizens.
Michigan just debunked that fear as well!
The fraud they cry about DOES NOT EXIST!
