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.
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.
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. 5280.com/2020/05/no-fra…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm a little late, but the #TinaPetersTrial is back on this morning.
She is a county clerk on trial for multiple felonies related to her role as an Election Denier working with Mike Lindell.
You can watch here:
/2 It is probably the most important pre-November trial in the country - even more than Trump's.
Election Deniers in public office as county clerks pose an existential threat to our democracy. The #TinaPetersTrial will be critical to keeping them in check.
/3 Peters's attorney is cross-examining a witness from the Mesa County Clerk's Office.
Objections against his questions keep getting sustained.
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.
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.
/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.
