GEORGIA! (Particularly Republicans). I was shocked watching the SOS debates today. Take the 1/2 hr. it takes to watch. I don't endorse candidates, but I will call out outrageous positions. It's clear that @VoteBradRaff has been paying NO attention to ...
facebook.com/TheAtlantaPres…
2/ the national story of GA's failed election security and the need for verifiable voting system is completely lost on him. Deflects and changes the subject, and then recommends barcode balloting instead of hand marked paper ballots!
3/ He goes further and ridiculously claims that a new voting system can be installed by this the Fall of 2019!! Any one who knows anything about voting systems and Georgia knows that it is at least a 3 year mission.
4/ I'm not saying this as a partisan. I am a registered (very unhappy) Republican. I'm saying this as a very concerned citizen. Georgia voters---if you want any chance of fair elections in the future, @VoteBradRaff doesn't seem like your man. What is going on here, GOP?? #gapol

I'm betting that there was only one member of the SAFE Commission that asked such questions. (Lee) But because the meeting violated Sunshine Laws and let the vendors talk privately with SAFE Comm members, we don't know!!
I was surprised that no one objected to this egregious violation of GA Sunshine Laws. We could not hear the claims that vendors were making to SAFE Comm. members, or what members were saying to vendors. 😡😡⁉️⁉️@stphnfwlr @JohnnyIK @markniesse @katebrumback
You might recall that the SAFE Comm has also had secret illegal telephone meetings, violating the Sunshine Laws. Georgia is headed for the same trouble they have with the current voting system. That is what happens when officials make back room decisions.

This very important news for GA voters and lawmakers--@VerifiedVoting (highly respected election integrity org) tells SAFE Commission to choose hand-marked paper ballots and reject electronic BMDs. 1/ …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-s4003df36667…
2/ This org has an impressive board of advisors of nationally known computer scientists and voting system experts, whose cautions should be heeded. verifiedvoting.org/board-of-advis…
3/ Many of these experts warned Cathy Cox not to purchase the flawed Diebold system b/c of no verifiable paper trail & the high security risks. They join other experts and public interest groups to oppose this expensive, high risk BMD/ barcode technology.

1/ GA Voters--note the details for the upcoming SAFE voting system demo meeting below. Here is the DEMO I want to see: Each member of the Commission mark this Nov. Fulton ballot, and..... …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-s902d169d5fb…
2/ then, use a BMD style ballot card and see if they can remember everything on the ballot to "verify" that the ballot card (like below) is accurate. Can they remember what all those ballot questions are? I'd like to see them try! Yet they want a system where all voters...
3/ must verify the ballot card list of 27 contests (in this case) is accurate, while standing at machine. If all SAFE members can "verify" a 27 item list by memory, then I might reconsider my opposition to these absurd machines.
Attend at 9am on Wed.

The failure of #Georgia to elect a Democrat Secretary of State after the the fraud & widespread #votersuppression of @BrianKempGA & Republicans is a travesty.

But the Dems share some blame. All Southern states should learn from this:

1) Run younger, charismatic candidates...
Who maintain an active social media presence. This is a fantastic way to campaign with limited resources. Branding matters. So do looks. So do numbers of followers.

2) actually make a concerted effort to campaign!!! The D-candidate here was virtually unknown - no TV ads, nothing
3) I do feel like more well-known GA Dems, from Abrams to Jason Carter to John Ossoff, dropped the ball here. There was no big push to get voters out over the last week, certainly nothing state-organized.

4) candidates for other state-executive branch offices shd be stumping

Today there are two absolutely vital elections in #Georgia. The runoff for Secretary of State and the runoff for the public service commission, one of those offices you don't think much about. Both of them are incredibly important salon.com/2018/12/04/geo…
Whoever controls the Secretary of State's office, controls who gets to vote, how you get to vote, whose ballots get counted, etc., which #BrianKemp used to great effect against #StaceyAbrams to make himself #Georgia's governor. gregpalast.com/heres-how-bria…
What #BrianKemp and the GOP have been doing is blocking registrants who found that they were wrongly purged so that they can't vote today in the runoff. Everyone who was shafted out of their vote on Nov. 6 will be shafted out of their vote again today. gregpalast.com/georgias-brian…

There are already some great threads (see this one & @KevinMKruse's) re: @staceyabrams & the #Confederateflag but I want to emphasize:

That flag is THE reason #Democrats LOST the governorship (& legislative control) of #Georgia in 2002. The state's been #Republican since..
Was literally talking to one of Gov. Roy Barnes's former campaign managers about this very thing last week - there's simply no denying it:

#Georgia's #Confederateflag - & the racist propaganda associated with it - unequivocally lost the state for Dems sixteen years ago.
Given the timing of the @staceyabrams story, it's clear that #Republicans are using the #Confederateflag to again whip white voters into a racist fury.

This *is* the sound of the last gasps of a dying white-supremacist govt. Yet we must remember that these last gasps often work.

@GOP Congressman/fmr CIA Will @HurdOnTheHill: “Over the course of my career as an undercover officer in the CIA, I saw Russian intelligence manipulate many people. I never thought I would see the day when an American @POTUS would be one of them.”
nytimes.com/2018/07/19/opi…
🔥Trump’s “failure to defend the USIC’s unanimous conclusions of #Russian meddling... & condemn #Russian covert counterinfluence campaigns and his standing idle on the world stage while a Russian dictator spouted lies confused many but should **concern all Americans**.”🇺🇸
👇🏼EXACTLY👇🏼

“As a member of Congress, a coequal branch of government designed by our founders to provide checks & balances on the executive branch, I believe that lawmakers must *fulfill our oversight duty* (and) keep the American people informed of the current DANGER.”🔥

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
