Folks! If you're using a mail-in ballot, TRACK ITS RECEIPT. Someone just told me her ballot was never received. She's being sent a new ballot. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ON-SITE BALLOT WHEN YOU VOTE CHECK THAT MAIL-IN BALLOTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED Sad to say--but double-check EVERYTHING in this election.

This ad & Ramaswamy's doubling down speaks volumes about his character. To lie about the abuse Acton experienced is abhorrent. To use the abuser is despicable & sadistic. If this is how he behaves on the campaign trail, imagine his depravity with gubernatorial power www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...
