1/6 Across the country, poll workers and election officials put their lives on the line for Democracy in the middle of a deadly pandemic and a time of unprecedented division.

Honor them. This is what Democracy looks like.
2/6 Already, COVID-19 spikes are occurring across the nation.

This thread highlights just some of what poll workers and election officials have faced from the pandemic in this tumultuous time.

This is what Democracy looks like.
3/6 Trump "won" a lawsuit allowing him to move GOP poll watchers from 10 feet away to 6 feet -- in the middle of a pandemic.

They kept counting.

4/6 Protesters, whipped up by Trump, stormed vote counting sites in multiple states, some to stop the count, others labeling themselves poll watchers, preventing actual poll watchers from doing their work. Most didn't wear masks.

They kept counting.

5/6 Two men were arrested on their way to a Philadelphia vote center, their car covered with QAnon paraphernalia, toting an AR-15 & other weapons, after police were warned of an attempt to attack the center.

They kept counting.

6/6 Americans, Democrat and Republican and Independent, put their lives on the line to ensure the count.

To ensure our voices were heard.

Thank them.

This is what Democracy looks like.

1/17 Just taking a moment to document the final, sad ending for this all, a moment so pathetically tragic that comedy writers the world over are heartbroken that they could never write something as funny as what reality has given us.

2/17 The best part is that they went ahead with it rather than re-locate or cancel.

Trump Campaign Ends With Saddest Press Conference at Four Seasons Total Landscaping

Rudy Giuliani shouting outside an adult store is exactly how we saw this ending. themarysue.com/trump-campaign…

My wife's mother was a lifelong warrior for women's rights. The head of her county's YWCA for 35 years and one of 9 women to set their current mission statement.

We lost her in August of 2016.

Today, we know Kamala Harris is going to the White House as VP.

This is for her.
Forget Donnie's chicken dance.

Here is a dance we can get behind, and soon it will be a reality!

Holy smokes. Georgia is under 4,000 separating them and most of the ballots still out are in big blue areas.
2,441,904 for Biden to 2,445,539 for Trump in Georgia right now, with some 6k coming in from red counties but two to three TIMES that coming in from blue zones.

This is going to be wild.
Whoa. Mail-ins from a RED county that came in just now broke for Biden, not Trump.

1/3 Remember how Trump said he finally understood after getting it himself?

Not so much:

Trump says he’s calling off stimulus negotiations with Democrats ‘until after the election’

This is dumb and callous. cnbc.com/2020/10/06/tru…

1/9 The beautiful irony of the #TrumpTaxReturns coming out NOW is that Trump's never-ending appeals pushed the release date back until he gave HIMSELF an early October surprise.

#CountBankruptula was surely hoping to keep them hidden until after the election.

2/9 Now we know that since 2000 there are TEN years when Trump didn't pay anything in taxes.

In all Trump paid no federal income taxes in 11 of 18 years the New York Times' reporters examined

nytimes.com/interactive/20…
3/9 Now we know that Trump only paid $750 his first 2 terms while hard-working Americans paid their dues & struggled to make ends meet.

Now we know that he practiced wide-scale tax fraud based on claims of heavy losses, & he probably WAS losing heavily... cnn.com/2020/09/27/pol…
