Nevada's whole ballot: a governor's race too close to call, where Lombardo personally chairs the campaign for a voter ID measure on his own ballot. A citizen measure qualified with 127k+ signatures, then its own sponsors withdrew it. Nobody has said why. #Elections #ZNN

New Hampshire's whole ballot: an open Senate seat, a competitive governor's race, a tax ballot question a judge called confusingly written but let stand anyway, and no elected Secretary of State or AG at all. Plus Shaheen's own daughter running for her old House seat. #Elections #ZNN

Iowa's whole ballot: 2 open toss-up races at the top, in a state Trump carried by 13 points. The one ballot measure, a 2/3-vote tax threshold, has its own polling split evenly 3 ways. A higher support number going around couldn't be verified, so we didn't use it. #Elections #ZNN

Minnesota's whole ballot: Walz dropped his 3rd-term bid over a fraud scandal, Klobuchar stepped in to replace him. The one ballot measure passed the Senate 43-24, but some of its own co-sponsor's party is campaigning against it. The state House is tied 67-67. #Elections #ZNN

Florida's whole ballot: a DeSantis-appointed judge kept DeSantis's own new map in place pending a gerrymandering lawsuit. One Tampa district was redrawn for Trump+10 and the Democrat is still leading there anyway. 3 tax amendments, one aimed at eventually having no tax at all. #Elections #ZNN

Arizona's whole ballot: Hobbs leads Biggs for governor, 2 top-target House seats. Courts blocked 3 measures before November. The 8 that survived were ALL legislature-referred, zero by citizen petition. A progressive PAC is spending $1M against 4 of them. #Elections #ZNN

Wisconsin's whole ballot: a toss-up governor's race, a toss-up House seat, a legislature genuinely up for grabs, and 3 amendments that all trace back to Evers stretching a 1-year school funding increase into 400 by crossing out a hyphen and a digit in a 2023 veto. #Elections #ZNN

Michigan's whole ballot: open Senate and governor races, both close. A proof-of-citizenship voting measure collected 700k+ signatures, above threshold, then got blocked by a deadlocked board and two courts. Also up: whether to rewrite the state constitution entirely. #Elections #ZNN

Pennsylvania's whole ballot: no Senate race, no other statewide offices, zero ballot questions, and Shapiro leads Garrity by 20-25 points for governor. The actual fight for power is happening in 5 state Senate districts most voters have never heard of. #Elections #ZNN

North Carolina's whole ballot: an open Senate seat after Tillis broke with Trump over Medicaid cuts, with Cooper leading Whatley by 7-12 points in every poll. No governor or Council of State races. A map redrawn to eliminate the state's only competitive House district. #Elections #ZNN

California's whole ballot: open governor's race, 14 propositions. Voter ID is partly funded by Joe Gebbia, who leads the White House's AI task force. The billionaire tax is outspent 8-to-1 by a Brin-backed PAC, and two other props may undercut it even if it wins. #Elections #ZNN

Georgia's whole ballot: the Senate race is rated a toss-up nationally while every public poll has Ossoff leading by double digits. Governor and Secretary of State are both open seats. The real contest: control of the Public Service Commission, currently 3-2 Republican. #Elections #ZNN

Ohio's whole ballot: Husted, who we reported trailing in Sept, now confirmed down 3-8 points to Sherrod Brown in multiple polls. Every statewide office is open. A map redrawn for 12-3 GOP still has 2 toss-up districts. The one ballot measure has supporters in both parties. #Elections #ZNN

Texas's whole ballot: Cornyn lost his own Senate primary to Paxton, now trailing Talarico in one poll. The Ag Commissioner lost his primary despite a Trump endorsement. SCOTUS let a map stand that a court found was likely racially biased. Zero ballot measures this year. #Elections #ZNN

Vermont's whole November ballot: Phil Scott seeking an unprecedented 6th term, 5 other statewide races, 1 House seat, 2 rare constitutional amendments, all 180 legislative seats up. The first episode in our new state-by-state election series. #Politics #Elections #ZNN #Vermont

ICE pulled 99M voter records through a deportation-targeting tool, despite DOJ losing all 25 of its court attempts to get that data legally. The official whose sources fed it had promised no ICE at the polls. Trump told supporters to cheat like hell. Result so far: 10 charges. #Politics #ZNN

An 18-year-old is federally charged over a Mall of America plot, with a gun the FBI itself sold him. The informant relationship started when he was 16 and ran nearly two years. The administration is taking credit. Decide for yourself which part is the threat. #Politics #ZNN

At a rally, Trump called the Iran war's cost a small price to pay, then told a cheering crowd: let 'em take out LA, let 'em take out San Diego. The mayor of San Diego: we are not collateral damage. 19 US servicemembers have already died in this war. #Politics #Satire #ZNN

A bill making data centers pay their own grid costs instead of billing your electric bill passed the House 417-3, then died in the Senate 57-43. Even Schumer, whose own party killed it, called it toothless. The bill died. The bills didn't. #Politics #Satire #ZNN

Trump had an aide screen him flattering videos. Weeks later, $20M in border funds became a pro-Trump ad contract, one set to the song Love Me. DHS did this before: $220M on self-deportation ads, millions in commissions to connected operatives. Orwell had a name for this. #Politics #ZNN
