“Nobody asked anyone who they were voting for.”

Chamberlain Network Founder and CEO Christopher Purdy — an Army National Guard veteran who deployed to Iraq in 2011 — is describing a May morning outside a polling place in Atlanta. A young family walking in together. A veteran smiling and waving on his way out. Neighbors going about their business.

Writing in The Fulcrum, Chris makes a case that has nothing to do with who wins: the answer to election dread isn’t a better argument. It’s showing up. Build community. Work the polls. Treat voting like the thing worth celebrating that it is.

Nothing builds trust in an election like seeing up close how carefully it is run. Counties across the country are recruiting poll workers right now, and the deadlines are coming fast. Call your county election office.

A rising movement is rebuilding trust, reducing division, and giving Americans a path to democratic renewal

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told Real America’s Voice that Nidal Hasan’s firing squad ex*****on would be public, saying, “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it.” Pentagon officials later clarified that the ex*****on would be livestreamed, with more details to follow.

Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood attack that killed 13 people and injured 32, is scheduled to be executed Dec. 3 at Fort Hood.

It would be the first U.S. military ex*****on since 1961.
