I posted some earlier tweets related to how many people have signed up to do poll work. In Shasta County, for this election, it was 400 volunteers. They are from all walks of life and the # in my training workshop was 50/50 (Senior/Younger).
That’s a good sign.

When we do this volunteer work, we do it because you either love doing the work, want to learn more from it or you want to be sure that the work is being done is right.
No matter the choice, it’s a long day 6AM to 10PM or later.

Good morning to everyone except the treasonous seditionists, coup-plotters, domestic terrorists, and fascists.
Did you know that Missouri AG @Eric_Schmitt’s loyalty to Trump means he supports 5 out of 5 of these things??

@AGEricSchmitt has pledged total loyalty to Trump and the #MAGA agenda, and has even intervened in his legal defense to show his unwavering support of Trump to the judges overseeing the prosecutions of his cases.
And Trump is guilty of all 5 offenses.

TREASON: Donald Trump attempted to overthrow the government, and gave aid and comfort to domestic enemies who participated on #Jan6.
Before, during, and after Jan 6, Trump conspired to coordinate with the insurrectionists and planners. /3

As predicted, Missouri @AGEricSchmitt joins to protect Trump from prosecution for his traitorous acts.
@Eric_Schmitt knows that if Hillary or Obama had stolen hundreds of classified documents and hid them from NARA, nothing would stop him from seeking maximum punishment. /1

Missourians are tired of this treasonous double standard that plays voters for fools.
Eric cheered relentless “lock her up” propaganda but now offers full throated defenses for Trump literally stealing the most sensitive secrets and exposing human intelligence sources. /2

We are tired of the obvious hypocrisy but more importantly, tired of the total abdication of leadership by ignoring the obvious national security risk posed by Trump.
They know who he is and what motivates him, and that he would no doubt sell out America for personal gain. /3
