1. 🗳🍑 Georgia: The Epicenter of America’s Corrupted Electronic Elections @jennycohn1 #gapol

GA is one of 5 states still using using voting computers that CAN NOT BE AUDITED.

Due to proprietary laws, courts have refused suits to audit results. medium.com/@jennycohn1/ge…
2. 145 years as a BLUE State, Georgia suddenly flips to RED with the 2002 installation of Diebold Voting Computers.

Fun Fact: GA’s Voting Computers run on WINDOWS 2000.

(Our 20yo son, literally, did a spit-take when I told him. “Omg EVERYONE can hack into our Elections, Mom!”)
3. So how did easily hacked Diebold Voting Computers find their way to Georgia? @jennycohn1 explains:

In 2002 Cathy Cox, GA’s SOS* “allowed Diebold to use her image on their promotional materials.”

WTF? Conflict of Interest much?!

*The Sec. of State (SOS) oversees elections.
4. Soooo...guess whose Cathy Cox’s former boss lobbied for?

🙋‍♀️ I’ll take ‘DIEBOLD’ for all the votes, Alex.

Diebold had recently acquired Global Election Systems (GES)

Guess who founded GES?

🙋‍♀️ I’ll take ‘GOP FELONS’ for bribe money, Alex.
5. GES’s Senior VP, Jeffrey Dean had served prison time for Black Hat hacking.

Who else did Diebold/GES have running the show?

A convicted cocaine trafficker, of course. John Elder was in charge of Punch Cards.

You mean HANGING CHADS and the 16,000 “lost” Gore votes?

Yep.
1.5 Sidebar: GA Courts ruled forensic audits couldn’t be done due to Diebold Software’s “proprietary nature.”

But IMO it stands to reason that election results MUST be auditible!

Not surprisingly, many legal and election integrity experts disagree with GA’s ruling.
6.🕵️‍♀️ WHO uncovered Diebold’s criminal connections?

Beverly Harris of blackboxvoting.com
A True Patriot! 🇺🇸

At the same time, G.W. Bush/GOP passed The Help America Vote Act which allocated BILLIONS for...wait for it...

NEW VOTING MACHINES.

Yep.😒
7. The Help America Vote Act was sponsored by GOP Rep. Bob Ney.

But Ney fought AGAINST auditable paper trails for voting machines.

WHY?

🙋‍♀️ I’ll take ‘DIEBOLD/GOP BRIBERY’ for $275,000 - Alex.

Diebold👉Jack Abramoff👉Ney
Ney and Abramoff were imprisoned for corruption.
8. Sidebar: Both Abramoff and Diebold’s CEO, Walden O’Dell were members of G.W. Bush’s elite fundraising group, “Rangers and Pioneers.”

2002: GA’s SOS Cathy Cox and Diebold signed a $54M contract for paperless voting machines and optical scanners which CAN NOT BE AUDITED.
9. GA: BLUE for 145 yrs, but post-Diebold:

“2002 yielded several surprising GOP victories” including:

Saxby Chambliss: Evangelicals and G.W. Bush FAVE

Sonny Perdue: Confederate Flag Waver was 9-11 pts BEHIND Roy Barnes in the Polls, but WON by 14-16 pts?

🤔 Sound familiar?
10. Karl Rove and Ralph Reed, Jr. -
GA GOP Strategist, a Bush ‘Ranger and Pioneer*,’ and Abramoff lobbyist* - chose Chambliss to run against Vietnam Vet Max Cleland.

In the polls, Cleland was ahead by 2-5 pts. - then lost by 7 pts.

Another 2002 post-Diebold GOP WIN.

*I added👇
11. Doug Haines House seat had been BLUE for 40+ years -

Then Diebold Voting Machines were installed and suddenly GOP @BrianKempGA wins - by 486 votes.

A race that close demands a recount, but, oh yeah - DIEBOLD MACHINES LEAVE NO PAPER TRAIL AND CAN’T BE AUDITED!
12. WHY ISN’T THIS FRONT PAGE NEWS?! U.S. Democracy may be at stake! - Screams journalists in 2003, including the prescient @Independent and @paulkrugman.

In 2018, GA’s DIEBOLD Voting Machines are STILL run on WINDOWS 2000 and anyone with a laptop can hack into our system!
13. @paulkrugman predicted in 2003 the Election Fraud committed regularly here in Georgia.

Special Election 2017:

@ossoff WINS ALL 58 out of 115 Precincts in April.

Suddenly in June ALL those precincts flip to unpopular @karenhandel?!

Statistically impossible.
14. Winters Chapel 2017:

APRIL
Ossoff: 360
Handel: 120

JUNE
Ossoff: 454
Handel: 462

🤔 Double the voters? Ossoff has a HUGE lead in April than loses in June?
15. GA Primary 2018:

@BrianKempGA our SOS RUNS ELECTIONS - He’s also running for Governor. Nothing to see here.

Kemp and @CaseyCagle are nearly tied in the polls, then Kemp WINS by a 37% margin? WTF?!

Hey look! 242.75% of RED Mud Creek voted in May...😒
16.@BrianKempGA was SUED for alleged Election Fraud (by the group bringing the case to the Federal Court tomorrow.)

Soooo...What happened next?

KEMP WIPED THE ELECTION SERVER CLEAN, DESTROYING EVIDENCE!

GA’s AG, Chris Carr, refused to pursue the case.
17. Soooo...KSU hosts a “Year of Russia” in 2016-2017. (Timing a coincidence? Nyet.) Sergei Kislyak visits!

WHY would the Russian Ambassador visit a small university outside Atlanta?

KSU houses ALL GA’s ELECTION SERVERS! (States aren’t supposed to keep servers in one location.)
18. In 2015, SIX MILLION Georgia Voters had their personal information, (SS#s!) released to third parties including the media, political parties - even ‘GA GunOwner Magazine!’ 😱

@BrianKempGA: “Clerical Error”

At the time, Kemp had “not notified a single GA citizen.”

@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter Mr. Summers -
How many acres of public land are ALREADY LEASED by the fossil fuel industry that haven’t been used yet?

S: blah blah blah…

P: Reclaiming my time!

The answer is 13.9 MILLION acres.

There are 7,700 UNUSED permits. 1/
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc: To visualize how much UNUSED federal land is ALREADY AVAILABLE to the fossil fuel industry, let’s say:

1 grain of rice = 1 acre of land

That would be 479lbs of rice!!

That’s 13.9 MILLION pristine acres of land already leased to the oil and gas companies. 2/
@bubbaprog @RepKatiePorter @katieporteroc 3. Rep. Porter: The American Petroleum Institute has 13.9 million federal acres at their disposal, yet they SUED to stop the pausing of further public land leases.

Do you [Gas & Oil Execs] support the pausing of federal land leases to the fossil fuel industry?

No.
No.
No.
No.

🇺🇸The #FreedomToVoteAct, along with the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct contain the most comprehensive democracy reform laws enacted in decades.

The #FTVA will protect our elections from sabotage, dark money, gerrymandering and voter suppression. Get the facts:
brennancenter.org/sites/default/…
2. What would the #FreedomToVoteAct do?

EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES TO VOTE

The #FTVA creates a baseline national standard for voting access, preempting many of the onerous, racist restrictions passed by Republicans to prevent POC, people in lower income and/or Dem areas from voting.
3. What would the #FreedomToVoteAct do?

• Require all 50 states to offer Early Voting for at least 2 weeks prior to Election Day and include night and weekend hours.

• Require EV locations be easily accessible to all voters, esp. voters in rural areas and on college campuses.

Second Donald J. Trump Impeachment Trial Begins (THREAD)

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD)
Lead Impeachment Manager

“Our case is based on COLD, HARD, FACTS. It’s all about the facts.”
2. @RepRaskin:

“President Trump has sent his lawyers here today to try to stop the Senate from hearing the facts of this case.

They want to call the trial over before any evidence is introduced.”
3. Raskin:

Trump’s lawyers argue “that if you commit an impeachable offense your last few weeks in office, you do it with Constitutional *impunity* -

You get away with it!”

On August 3, 2020 - Putin insider and Trump whisperer, Artem Klyushin, provided Donald Trump with a roadmap for annulling the Presidential election, in case he would be defeated.

A roadmap, thinly veiled as ‘the Democrats plan’ that in November Trump followed to the letter. 1/
2. Pretending it’s the Dems’ plan, Klyushin instructs Trump to form “a coalition of rebel states” that could “declare succession from the United States.”

Klyushin names the 12th Amendment, the Congressional certification of the election, as a vehicle for annulling results.
3. Thinking the November election would be close, Klyushin tells Trump he could challenge the election, and then describes how electors could be used to provide favorable results. Conspiracy theories a plus!

Again, these “suggestions” were given to Donald Trump on Aug. 3, 2020.
