We're still kicking as a small magazine that found an audience on Twitter. But we're not there anymore, and it's much harder for pubs like Contingent to find and grow an audience, so if you like our stuff--tell someone about it! Read a random article here! contingentmagazine.org?redirect_to=...

NEW: An Atlanta judge has declared seven new Georgia state election board rules "illegal, unconstitutional and void." This includes certification rule saying all election docs must be made available to local board members and another requiring hand count # of ballots. (via Sam Gringlas, WABE)

Additionally, the State and the SEB are hereby DIRECTED TO IMMEDIATELY
REMOVE THESE RULES FROM THEIR ROLES AND OFFICIAL REPORTING AND
TO IMMEDIATELY INFORM ALL STATE AND LOCAL ELECTION OFFICIALS THAT
THESE RULES ARE VOID AND ARE NOT TO BE FOLLOWED THROUGH THE SAME
MECHANISMS THAT THE SEB PROVIDED SUCH RULES TO THE STATE OR LOCAL
ELECTION OFFICIALS OR THROUGH THE SAME MECHANISMS THAT THEY
INFORMED THE STATE OR LOCAL ELECTION OFFICIALS OF THESE RULES.
8. Final Judgment
Pursuant to the foregoing, this is the FINAL JUDGMENT of this Court regarding this
matter and this matter is closed.
SO ORDERED, this 16th of October 2024.
The Honorable Thomas A. Cox, Jr., Judge
Superior Court of Fulton County
Atlanta Judicial Circuit

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”
