1/ I missed this recent, crazed tweet by #DementedDonald, probably because he sent it at 3:41 a.m. MT and had committed several more atrocities before I woke up.

I thought @ProjectLincoln may be interested in a response to his lunatic assertions.

2/ I realized it might be fun to do something a little different than the typical #ConManDon-lies-someone-refutes-it-with-facts routine.

In honor of our #UnstableImbecile, I thought a #VoteByMail #CognitiveTest would be in order.
3/ QUESTION (1)
This statement is True or False: #VoteByMail is inherently "rigged."
.
.
.
.
FALSE. The conservative Heritage Institute found 14 total instances of fraud across more than 15.5 million mail votes cast in Oregon since 1998.

4/ On a related note, Heritage lists five total instances of "fraudulent use of absentee ballots" in my home state of Colorado, with only three coming since we went to #AllMailVoting in 2014.

heritage.org/voterfraud/sea…
4/ QUESTION (2)
This statement is True or False: Election officials can do nothing to protect the integrity of #VoteByMail.
.
.
.
.
FALSE. There are multiple levels of checks, including several rounds of database review and signature verification.

5/ QUESTION (3)
Can felons like this use #VoteByMail to commit another crime?
.
.
.
NO. Election officials check their mailing list against criminal justice records to remove people like #FelonRogerStone. Image
6/ In actuality, it would be easier for #FelonRogerStone to vote IN PERSON if he were inclined to commit more crimes for you, #LowIQDonald.

It is much easier for someone like Stone to walk into a polling place and receive a provisional ballot than receive a #VoteByMail ballot.
7/ QUESTION (4)
This statement is True or False: this is a picture of an eligible voter.
.
.
.
.
FALSE. It's an elephant, #DummyDonald. Image
8/ QUESTION (5)
This statement is True or False: #VoteByMail benefits Democrats AND Republicans equally.
.
.
.
.
TRUE. In a large study by some smart people at a school #DonaldTheDunce couldn't get into, the partisan effects of #VoteByMail were neutral.

siepr.stanford.edu/sites/default/…
9/ QUESTION (6)
How are #VoteByMail ballots counted?
.
.
.
.
The same way we've counted all ballots for centuries. One ballot, one vote. I understand #CantCountDonald has trouble with this, so I'll start you off, "1 ... 2 ... 3 ..."

PS - that is 3 more votes than he deserves.
10/ QUESTION (7)
Do you have to trust the USPS to deliver a #VoteByMail ballot?
.
.
.
.
No. While there have been very few instances of USPS losing ballots, you can avoid that entirely by dropping off your ballot at a locked drop-off ballot box.
11/ QUESTION (8)
This statement is True or False: only states with mostly Democrats use #VoteByMail.
.
.
.
.
FALSE. Most states have some version of #VoteByMail and ruby red Utah (56% Republicans) actually uses an #AllMailVote system.

voteinfo.utah.gov/learn-about-vo…
12/ QUESTION (9)
The FL GOP are so afraid of the damage #DonaldTheDope's attacks on #VoteByMail have caused to their normal election strategy that they recently doctored one of his Tweets.

Point out the difference.

politico.com/news/2020/07/1…
13/ QUESTION (10)
Point out who in the room is eligible to #VoteByMail.

#TrumpTheTwit: "Person, woman, man, camera, TV ..."
.
.
.
.
NO, NO, NO. Cameras and televisions cannot vote, despite being the only things #DingbatDonald actually loves.
14/ QUESTION (11)
Will "Q" be able to stop the #VoteByMail fraud?
.
.
.
.
OMG, I can't even. Just stop. STOP!
15/ QUESTION (12)
This statement is True or False: #DumbassDonald will lose the #Election2020 because of voter fraud.
.
.
.
.
FALSE. He will lose because he is bad for the conservative movement, bad for Republicans, and #BadForAmerica.
16/ This concludes our #CognitiveTest on #VoteByMail. Thank you for participating.

Also, if you're so inclined, please RETWEET this thread so that more people can take the test.

And don't forget to VOTE @realDonaldTrump out of office, by mail or otherwise, on #November3rd.

🧵Is Mike Pence really Theon Greyjoy in disguise?

Watching the #January6thCommitteeHearings focused on the pressure campaign against former VP @Mike_Pence and it occurred to me that he is effectively a real, live version of our maligned #GOT character.

#ReekPence
/2 Both Pence and Theon start off as smug, punchable asshats, but nothing much more dangerous.

#ReekPence #January6thCommitteeHearings
/3 But at some point they saw themselves deserving of the big chair (king/president) and were willing to lick their Daddies' boots.

🧵on Colorado Primary Voting

I received my ballot in the mail a couple days ago and this thread will be an "unboxing" and explanation of voting in the primary for unaffiliated voters with sprinkles of how well our #VoteByMail systems work.

#copolitics #Vote
/2 So we are all on the same page, Colorado has a universal vote by mail system.

That means a ballot is mailed out to every registered voter. They can return it in multiple ways:
- by mail
- drop it in a drop box
- drop it off at a polling place
/3 Upon opening the envelope, one of the first things to come out is a handy instruction pamphlet.

It explains LOTS OF STUFF! What is in the packet, how to vote, where to return your ballot, how to track it, and how to determine the security of the election.

THREAD 1/ Late last week several prominent members of the Texas GOP filed a lawsuit to disenfranchise more than 127,000 voters in #HarrisCountyTX.

@ProjectLincoln filed an amicus last night opposing their attempts at #VoterSuppression

#DontBeDeterred #WeWillVote #Elections2020
2/ The #HarrisCountyTX Clerk added drive-thru polling places in June to provide safe, efficient voting options for voters in Houston.

After more than 127,000 Texans took advantage of that option, the plaintiffs want the practice declared illegal and the ballots thrown out.
3/ The @ProjectLincoln could not stand by and watch #VoterSuppression in #HarrisCountyTX without speaking up.

Yesterday I filed an amicus brief on behalf of @ProjectLincoln in the US District Court of Western Texas.

We argued that @GovAbbott's proclamation limiting counties to one ballot return drop-box both hinders voting and poses a risk to voters.

#VoteByMail2020
#BallotDropBox
2/ The proclamation equated to #VoterSuppression, particularly in counties with huge populations like Harris, Travis, and Fort Bend.

#VoteByMail2020
#BallotDropBox
3/ @ProjectLincoln refused to stand by and watch while @GovAbbott undermined the election in Texas.

We support the Texas League of United Latin American Citizens, @LWVTexas and other plaintiffs' request for relief from his unconstitutional order.

@realDonaldTrump won’t participate in the second debate - not because it is virtual, but because he is scared of @JoeBiden.

States seeing a surge in #VoteByMail ballots during an election year MUST allow election officials to begin processing and counting before #ElectionDay.

Colorado has done this for multiple elections and it works.

@ProjectLincoln also sounded the alarm.

coloradosun.com/2020/09/27/col…
2/ The bottleneck created by the signature and ballot verification process for #VoteByMail takes more time than traditional in-person voting because fewer resources are devoted to it.

But those votes ARE VALID AND MUST BE COUNTED.
3/ @realDonaldTrump and his cronies will claim this delay proves fraud.

It is actually the exact OPPOSITE. Carefully reviewing and verifying #VoteByMail ballots ensures that there is virtually no fraud.
