After a day seeing windows boarded up in my city, watching police violence against voters, Trump supporters hunt down & run people off the road following a bus bearing Biden's name and reports of GOP efforts to toss ballots in multiple jurisdictions, the polls are not my concern.

This morning @NoelKing talked to 36 year old dairy farmer Rick Roden of West Bend, WI, a case study in an utterly self-interested white voter who is locked into right wing ideas and cannot empathize with others. npr.org/2020/10/28/928…
"As far as equal rights to everybody, you know, women and blacks have a lot- same opportunities that we may have today, that maybe they didn't have years ago."
"Protests are good and they're fine, but when somebody starts rioting, they need to be held accountable and something needs to be done about that."

1/ The nonprofit @Avaaz commissioned SurveyUSA to examine the extent to which mis- & disinformation is being spread on social media, the extent to which it is believed, and the degree to which voters feel social media platforms are obligated to address it. surveyusa.com/client/PollPri…
2/ It is devastating.

• 85% of voters saw the lie that mail-in voting will lead to fraud in their news feeds, and 35% said they believe it
• 48% of voters saw the false claim that “Joe Biden is a pedophile”, with 19% believing it true. 64% of the exposed saw it on Facebook.
3/

• 53% of registered voters read the false claim that “George Floyd died from an overdose of drugs” (that he was not killed by the police) with 18% believing this to be true.
• 65% of respondents who saw the claim reported seeing it on Facebook.

1/ I want to say a couple of things to put this location & what is going on here in context. First, yes, this is voter suppression. The NYC BOE failed to plan for this & I reckon that's partly since it is the first time we've had early voting in a Presidential and in a pandemic.
2/ This was also a neighborhood hard hit by COVID. Just in my zipcode we've had 2700+ cases & 300+ deaths. This voter line wraps around the former location of one of the state administered covid testing sites, where cars stretched out in lines all spring.
3/ It was also the site of one of the most violent moments I witnessed during the protests this summer. The police confronted a peaceful protest and tried to pen them in on Bedford just behind the Sears. When protestors reversed course the police used force. These are my pics.

This is what democracy looks like. #Election2020 #VoteEarly
And to people replying.... of course it's also suppression! The board of elections failed to plan for this. But I am choosing in this moment to focus on my neighbors, who WILL do whatever it takes.
Some more context:

1/ I want to focus on this segment, which has been touted as a great example of holding a Trump administration official to account on false accusations of voter fraud. Folks are right to praise @HallieJackson but please listen closely to what Gidley is saying, as it is revealing.
2/ When Jackson disputes the idea there is voter fraud Gidley says “You can’t deny what you’ve seen on television in all of these local markets, where people are finding ballots of trash cans, people are finding ballots in ditches and in the back of trucks….”
3/ When Jackson pushes back, citing the FBI Director's statement that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud, he says “Your local markets and all types of NBC affiliates are reporting on this in all types of areas across this country, this is rampant, everyone sees that”.
