The news that the three remaining EAC Commissioners were relieved of their positions by the White House today is extremely concerning. In case you're wondering how a federal takeover of elections would start. Something like this. This action is essentially a declaration of war on our democracy.

I am seeing that one person has confirmed not having been present at the Michigan Democratic Endorsement Convention when they voted. While troubling, I continue to feel that the Convention was well run given some technical challenges with the Election Buddy App. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/p...

For your BlueSky viewing pleasure: Hi! Matt DePerno, It’s me, Barb Byrum! First of all it's 👋 not 👏. You've committed so many violations over the years that necessitated me talking to you, I would have thought you would know by now.

Thank you so much for your time, donations, hard work, & energy over the last 11 months. While I was not successful in the bid for the Dem nomination this year, I promise to keep causing good trouble and I hope you will continue to join me. I appreciate you & will be seeing you all again very soon!

Voting is OPEN at the MDP Endorsement Convention! If you are a credentialed MDP voter at the Convention Hall, please cast your vote NOW! And remember, this may go to a second ballot, so please stick around! 🗳️

Signed, sealed, delivered! ✅ Thanks to the hard work from our team, we have collected enough signatures to be eligible for the MDP’s endorsement. Next stop, voting at 3 p.m.! (Well, a maybe few speeches and cups of coffee in between now and then…)

Happy Convention Day, Michigan Democrats! Be sure to get credentialed before 2, and voting will begin at 3. I will be visiting various caucuses and groups throughout the day, but please feel free to say hello if I’m not at the podium! Let’s do this!

Members of Team Byrum worked hard on petition signature collection today ✍️ Thank you, Dianne Byrum and Councilwoman Mary Waters!

Pre-Convention activities have begun! If you are at Huntington Place today, you can already get credentialed and begin signing petitions. Look for our volunteers around the building and table in the main atrium!

T-2 days until the MDP Endorsement Convention and we are not letting up! Thanks to the Democrats of South Oakland and the Plymouth Democratic Club for having me at their meetings, last night. I look forward to seeing many of you on Sunday! 🗳️

Thank you to Lloyd Banks for the opportunity to speak at the Farmington/Farmington Hills Dem Club meeting. I really enjoyed the conversations and look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

Registering voters at MSU with then Student Body Pres Domonique Clemons. He is now the Genesee County Clerk/Register of Deeds & I am running for Secretary of State. Protecting Voting Rights & encouraging civic participation has been my passion for more than a decade.

I had a lovely time attending Ingham County Democratic Party’s Celebration of the Historic Impact of Women Leaders this weekend. Ingham County has been fortunate to have many strong women public servants.
