Trump, by tweet, argues against counting all the votes:

"Must have final total on November 3rd."

But the other lie is Twitter’s statement that mail-in voting is "safe and secure." Not in America: gregpalast.com/22-of-mail-in-…

#SaveMyVote2020
The seminal MIT study, Losing Votes by Mail, warns that 22% – more than one in five mail-in ballots – never get counted. #SaveMyVote2020 gregpalast.com/22-of-mail-in-…
What’s the solution?

Massive in-person early voting.

Go mid-week when there are no lines.

Bring mask, gloves, sanitizer, ID and resolve.

Glad the New York Times has caught up to what I’ve warned about: mailing in your ballot is playing Russian roulette with your vote. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t. #VoteByMail #VoteByMail2020 #SaveMyVote2020 nytimes.com/interactive/20…
And this year, some Boogaloo schmuck in a Hawaiian shirt will be the poll watcher challenging your ballot. #ElectionDay #Election2020 #Voting gregpalast.com/warning-trump-…

On Monday, our lawyers wrote a letter to the #Georgia Secretary of State, #BradRaffensperger, demanding he restore over 198,000 voters that he and his predecessor, #BrianKemp, wrongly purged from the voter rolls by erroneously claiming they'd moved. gregpalast.com/georgia-do-i-r…
We're going to make this easy for Raffensperger. Our non-partisan not-for-profit fund will arrange for the Postal Service’s official licensee, Merkle Inc., to contract with the Secretary of State's office to obtain the correct list of those who’ve moved. gregpalast.com/wp-content/upl…
We will also provide the massive deep files of the nation’s leading “address hygiene” experts. All this can be done in a matter of hours — if Raffensperger is sincere about wanting to reverse this wrong against voters. #SaveMyVote2020 gregpalast.com/aclu-releases-…

Trump’s surprise 2016 wins in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were the shockers that gave him the White House by a minuscule margin of 77,400 votes — just 0.5% of the vote in those states. gregpalast.com/audiobookoffer/
Trump won Michigan by less than 0.1% — but the exit polls showed he’d lost by 0.3%. In Wisconsin, Trump won the official count by less than 1%, but the exit polls showed Clinton won by a substantial 3.7%. In Pennsylvania, once again: exit polls gave the win to Clinton.
So what happened? (Hint: The Red Shift.)

Hundreds of thousands of voters have been struck from the voter rolls and they have no idea.

There’s no question that this attack on the voter rolls is affecting voters of color and young people — and could absolutely change the outcome of the election.

In October 2019, #Georgia’s Secretary of State published a list of over 300,000 citizens purged from the state’s voter rolls. But, almost two out of three of those Georgia voters struck off for moving from their registration address hadn’t moved at all.

In some states voters need to show photo ID in order to vote in person.

In "Exact Match" states, voter registration details have to match govt ID — down to the last hyphen.

In Georgia, about 70% of voters impacted by “Exact Match” are African American.

Today, the #Wisconsin Supreme Court may choose our president. That is, justices will hear arguments in a lawsuit that would force the state to remove 129,000 people from the voter rolls madison.com/opinion/column…
The #Wisconsin hit list is not only disastrously wrong, it is suspiciously over-weighted with African-Americans. Look at the maps. They reveal a near-perfect match between the percentage of Black voters in a Census tract and the number of voters wrongly tagged as having moved.
Rick Esenberg brought this lawsuit on behalf of the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL). When I spoke to him, Esenberg admitted he had not checked his voter purge list for accuracy and claims he has no idea that the list is overloaded with Black and low-income voters.

Today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will hear a suit brought by a right-wing think tank demanding the state purge 129,000 voters — who mostly reside in urban areas — using a “movers” list we proved was error-ridden in a report we submitted to the state.
We found 39,722 Wisconsin voters who supposedly moved, had in fact not moved, a minimum 25.8% error rate.

A further 58,404 or 38% who had moved, had only done so within their county.

If even half of these moved locally, the error rate rises to 45.8%.

Who’s on the #WisconsinPurge list? There's bias against voters of color and low-income voters, and evidence of bias against young and student voters — like Phyo Zin Kyaw, a Madison College student who moved to new digs "two houses down”.
