What if the app detected when the owner was entering a polling place. Sends them a text message saying “We see you’re voting! Make sure to vote for Trump — we’ll be checking up later!” — implying they can pierce the secrecy of the vote in a message that proves they know location
Or they could claim “Antifa has been sighted near you! Make sure to hang around and guard the polls!” — to try to create chaos and block votes in anti-Trump areas.
They could be more subtle and tell supporters to do what Trump is saying and demand poll workers call the central office to find out if their mail in ballot was counted (do NOT do this, it will slow things down and tie up lines needed for real issues; use the web site).
They could give all kinds of false information to people designed to slow things down at the polls. “Make sure the polls workers are checking IDs of the people ahead of you!” in places that don’t require ID, for example.
I’m just listing things that already happen and imagining them being pushed in a targeted way at people who are physically at the polls. And this is besides the highly illegal political advertising at a polling place.

@thomasafine@anaphoristand@GGovic@z3dster@ScottMStedman@charleskriel In March 2017 we get this report, which says "the investigation continues", but now we know the FBI dropped the investigation right about then. It suggests that Dyn confirmed the DNS lookups weren't faked data, though I can't confirm that Dyn statement.
It looks like Peters, an election official, was radicalized and recruited by Lindell’s loose band of “election integrity” con artists. If so, that seems similar to other problems of radicalization of insiders. How can we combat this?
We should all be worried. Especially with staff leaving their positions for their own safety. Who is replacing them?
Hi @SenFeinstein! I wanted to call to share my views about your literal embrace of Lindsay Graham yesterday. It seems that a lot of other people have things to say, too — voicemail is full in every one of your local offices and your DC office line is continuously busy.
So I’m going to just share them here in public. Buckle up.
This was the most tone-deaf, poorly timed, badly thought out gesture ever. It’s convinced me that we need new leadership on Judiciary. I also believe that you should retire and make room for a newly appointed Senator
...who will fight for constituents and be in sync with the party when the chips are down and a key election is on the line. I realize you are not up for re election this year or next time around, but Lindsey _is_ — and we have a real shot at winning his seat.
@bitchy_meats "Respiratory droplets" is what's known as a "term of art", meaning, it has implications that go beyond what we normal folk would think. It has a 100 year history in public health, and if you say "respiratory droplets" public health officials hear "not spread through air".
@bitchy_meats By which they mean, not spread by air currents, not hanging in the air for long periods of time, but in the form of droplets that quickly (a few seconds) fall to the ground, unless you're REALLY unlucky and get sneezed on.
@bitchy_meats The new guidance made it clear that being sneezed on, or picking up droplets from surfaces after they fall, isn't the current major mode of transmission. It's most likely from breathing in significant quantities of aerosolized (floating) tiny droplets < 100um.
In the face of official deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. The CDC published, then pulled, guidance that the coronavirus commonly spreads via aerosols. (Which is absolutely supported by the science.)
Left: Friday's update
Right: Today's coverup
Friday's change was hailed among researchers as a major step forward in figuring out _effective responses_ to the pandemic.
Monday's cover-up is, therefore, a major step backwards. It's unconscionable. It's dangerous. And it's going to get (more) people killed.
Here's the web page in question. Sadly, web.archive.org didn't scrape the Friday update (somebody really needs to crank up the scrape rate for CDC sites to 2x/day).
