“The @GOP gets it now,” @PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams wrote in an email. “And that isn’t going to change even after Trump. Republicans are no longer wimps when it comes to fighting election fraud and vulnerabilities.”

Adams appeared before @JudiciaryGOP to argue against expanded mail balloting in the pandemic. He cited [data] from the @EACgov showing 28 million mail ballots were “unaccounted for” since 2012. Adams called it “28 million opportunities to cheat.”
