Bolts recently published a story on a Michigan jail, which is seeing civic engagement amid otherwise dismal conditions. (You may have seen it!)
A mag called Prisonality, which is distributed to 2,000+ people in prison just reprinted it & is circulating it. Which is cool to see:
Native organizers went to extraordinary lengths to ensure voters in remote Alaska villages, disconnected from roadways, could cast their ballots. In Newtok, which lacks a post office and thus no mail voting, a last-minute vote-by-fax system was set up. boltsmag.org/alaska-measure…
Voters in Arizona rejected Prop 137 this month, which would have ended judicial elections in the state. "Voters want a say in who their judges are," says Tim Berg, an Arizona attorney. boltsmag.org/arizona-result…
Arizona rejected Prop 137, which would have eliminated the power of voters to decide on whether to keep the judges and justices appointed by the governor. This affirms right for Arizona voters to be a counterbalance against executive & judicial power:

Arizonans on Tuesday defeated three GOP measures that would have restricted their voting power, ending judicial elections and squashing future citizen-led initiatives.
NEW in @boltsmag from @Pascal_Sabino: boltsmag.org/arizona-result…
in AZ:
"The voters recognize there are a group of initiatives that would have taken their rights without giving anything in return, and they voted 'No' on those. And on the ones that gave them something— in this case reproductive rights, they voted 'Yes.'"

NEW: Monique Worrell has won back her job leading the Orlando prosecutor's office after Ron DeSantis removed her over her reform policies last year.
In Tampa, however, Andrew Warren, who was also removed by DeSantis, lost his attempt at a comeback.

With no Republicans in today’s race for sheriff of Michigan's Washtenaw County, Democratic nominee Alyshia Dyer is all but guaranteed to lead the department and shape the future of traffic enforcement and community policing policies.

This GOP-backed measure in Arizona might be the most bonkers thing on the ballot today. Prop 137 would retroactively void the results of today's judicial elections, end future retention elections, and make judicial appointments permanent: boltsmag.org/proposition-13…
