I’ve also said this repeatedly: @Commish_Schmidt is a hero and exemplifies the very best of public service.

There is no public official in Pennsylvania R or D that better exemplifies “County over Party” than Commisoner Schmidt.

politico.com/news/2020/11/2…
Even after death threats, his unflinching integrity and commitment to a free, fair and true election in Philadelphia, prevented orchestrated chaos from spiraling out of control, while fully capturing the true democratic will of his city.

We are in his debt in Pennsylvania.
The amount of chaos prevented by @Commish_Schmidt is only matched by the mass harm + upheaval he could have *easily* inflicted were he not a person of impeccable integrity.

He stood up to the President- as a Republican. If only other prominent R’s had that kind character. 🇺🇸
Stop and consider: Given the singular focus by the President on Philadelphia, @Commish_Schmidt could have been lauded as a (the?) national, Republican hero of this election.

Instead, he’s receives death threats + requires 24hr security.

Now that’s speaking truth to power.
Well over a month ago, @Commish_Schmidt and I partnered up, hosted by @PhillyInquirer , well ahead of the election to SET THE FACTS STRAIGHT on voting in Pennsylvania and Philadelphia, in true bipartisan spirit.

For 3 weeks, I’ve posted repeatedly about the *only* two cases of voter fraud in PA.

100’s of GOP lawyers looking, still it’s *just* these two cases.

That both involve Trump voters-while impossibly humorous-illustrates how rare + profoundly difficult to commit voter fraud is. ImageImage
Why hasn’t Dan Patrick paid anyone for the evidence of voter fraud he offered a reward for?

Why? Because his “reward” is as mythical as voter fraud. 🦄

100% of any reward would go the @PghFoodBank or to one in TX.

✅ 2 votes out of +/- 7M.

✅ 2 votes that didn’t even count.
3rd case is conspiracy to commit partisan fraud. 🙄

👉 Voter fraud is hard. 😳

“Commissioners said Thomas Altman, 70, of Ligonier, improperly coordinated efforts with a Republican campaign poll watcher to challenge contested provisional ballots.”

I don’t get why Trump cut Sidney Powell loose.

How is she any less warped or tragic than any other of their cases or attorneys in PA?

Nearly 3 weeks after the election, my dude in Forty Fort + his dead mom still represents *50%* of the total voter fraud in PA out of 7M votes.
I legitimately have as much proof Joe Biden won Texas as the President has he won Pennsylvania.
Let me be clear, if you take away all of the voter fraud in Pennsylvania that involved illegally voting for Trump, you do not have one single, documented case of voter fraud in Pennsylvania.

Just sitting here on the Capitol steps to pass the budget + and I miss 🥰 @giselefetterman

Looking through pics. 🥺

This was taken a little less than a year ago at the Pittsburgh Film Office event. 🎥

(Fun fact: Her beautiful headpiece also picks up 3 AM radio stations.)
This was one my favorite of the year-a selfie I took of us- but she took my phone, cropped me out, then deleted the original. 🙄
Same 🙄

It’s kinda flattering that they changed Pennsylvania law just for me. 🥺👉👈

Speaking of changing laws...

I’ll take them down when we get:

LEGAL WEED 🟩 FOR PA + EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW for LGBTQIA+ community in PA.
⬛️🟫🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪
See y’all in June. 🥰
🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
$5 says they’ll like these even more on my balcony. 🥰

I have a lush, full head of hair!

🕛 This claim has been disputed.

No, it hasn’t + isn’t.

It’s a lie, not a “dispute”.

This election isn’t + never been in “dispute”- one side *lies* to negate a free, fair election.

Why does this platform refer to a LIE as a “dispute”?
There are many facts. Statements in the total absence of any reality are not “disputes”, they’re lies.

The world’s largest microphone does not, or will ever make, an bald, outright lie anymore true.
It should read “an bald”. That’s the actual, correct grammatical rule!

“.. many of Trump’s own aides are shaking their heads and chuckling at the media giving such prominence to the quixotic efforts”

I’ve been saying for weeks:

This is NOT speech. This is “Fire!” in a crowded theater.

The media must turn its back to this.
politico.com/news/2020/11/1…
Giving a platform + amplifying lies-with literally zero evidence-attached entirely to an agenda of chaos subverts + fundamentally damages core American democracy.
“Both sides of an argument” is an antiquated paradigm of current journalism until one “side” stops actively lying in an unabashed push to overthrow the returns a free, fair and open democratic election.
