Local reporters: If you want to make a difference in the 2020 election, this thread is for you. #votebeat 
Hard truth: We are awash in presidential election news, but still lack enough local reporting on how America will successfully vote in a pandemic. With 10K+ election boards in the U.S., we run the risk of each county finding its own unique way to botch an unprecedented election.
Despite heroic efforts of officials on the ground, the risk remains: What more needs to be done for safe in-person voting and well-run mail-in voting? Each district will have different answers. When idiosyncrasies rule, we need true local reporting to hold leaders accountable.

Soon after, @RonaldKlain, the White House Ebola response coordinator from October 2014 to February 2015, tweeted out a link to a document titled “Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.”
In a May 14 interview on Fox News, @senatemajldr said “I was wrong. They did leave behind a plan. I clearly made a mistake in that regard.”
“We’ve tested more than every country combined,” @POTUS Trump said April 27. @shefalil fact checked that claim with @PolitiFact. Pants. On. Fire. #HealthCheck #COVID19testing khn.org/news/trumps-cl…
It was a variation on claims he had made April 24, as well as on Twitter the day after — when he said the U.S. had tested “more than any other country in the World, and even more than all major countries combined.”
We emailed the White House for comment but never heard back, so we turned to the data. Trump’s claim didn’t stand up to scrutiny.
