𝑷𝑨𝑹𝑻 1 𝑺𝑬𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑺 𝑻𝑯𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫: How a Wealthy Billionaire is influencing local politics playing shell games in collaboration with elected officials in @austintexasgov
In 2015 @ATXJustice launched as a grassroots, activist-led organization. On the surface it emulated what every normal citizen could stand behind and support.
They grew little momentum over the years and didn't really become a major player in city politics until 2020 when they teamed up with @GregCasar to push zero racial disparity in traffic stops and use-of-force incidents by Austin police officers.

Seriously, we set up a whole Twitter account. It is categorically untrue that the Scheme is good by design. #AJC #AdministrativeJusticeCouncil
He is however deeply correct that "mitigation" - as we've banged on about at length - is not a useful concept in this concept.

@kindlee55 @markniesse @PaperBallotsGA ...It’s going to be a slow thing,” McClung said. “You have to take the paper out, look at it, walk it across the room and put it in. There’s a lot of wasted paper."'
How you sung the company's (Dominion's) song:
"Georgia is replacing its 17-year-old digital voting system

@kindlee55 @markniesse @PaperBallotsGA , which didn’t have a ^paper ballot.
voters make their choices on touchscreens. But with the new system, ea touchscreen is attached to a printer that produces a ^paper ballot. Voters can then review their selections before inserting their •ballots into a scanning machines.
