Revealed: police unions spend millions to influence policy in biggest US cities

Guardian analysis shows how organizations and officers in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago work against reform
Police unions and officers active in America’s three largest cities spend tens of millions of dollars annually to influence law enforcement policy and thwart pushes for reform, a Guardian analysis of local, county, state and federal campaign finance records found.
Reform advocates say the spending partly explains why police unions have defeated most reform measures in recent years, even as high-profile police killings of unarmed black men sparked waves of public outrage including the current national demonstrations against racism sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

It’s Hard to Find a Trump Who Hasn’t Voted by Mail
On reviewing records from the Manhattan Board of Elections, The Daily Beast discovered that Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and the First Lady all had ballots mailed to them in Washington, D.C. as recently as the 2018 election cycle, and have done so since decamping to the capital three years ago. Eric Trump, who remains in New York, similarly exercised his franchise via envelope and stamp in 2017.
Various errors—from the First Lady’s forgetting to sign the crucial affidavit, to the First Daughter’s sending her ballot back too late, to Kushner’s failure to mail it back at all—prevented the Washington-based wing of the family’s votes from counting in 2017. But the Board of Elections documents show they all successfully returned their votes in the most recent election cycle.
Trump knows he could lose election with mail-in voting | Miami Herald – Trump is flat-out wrong. Mail-in voting is safer, not vulnerable to fraud, like he says
As a former Republican member of the Florida Legislature, whose parents fled political oppression, I am appalled that my community would tolerate such an attack on our voting rights.
Based on my 16 years of experience, I can assure voters that there is no merit to Trump’s baseless claims of widespread fraud in mail ballots.
As part of the Republican legal team, we commenced each election cycle with the hypothetical presumption that the Democrats would attempt to commit fraud with the mail ballots. Based on that false supposition, we investigated numerous allegations and never found any credible signs of voter fraud in mail ballots. This was confirmed by our team’s physical presence before the county Canvassing Board that scrutinized the ballot signatures.
