Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota and California! You have an election today, Tuesday June 2nd, 2026, so get out there and VOTE.
Try to vote every race. For unfamiliar positions like judges, look for endorsements from groups like minority judge associations. Be strategic and practical and push back on fascism wherever you can!
