Tomorrow, the United Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs will holding a hearing entitled," Examining Irregularities in the 2020 Election", and a few points are worth making in advance of the hearing. hsgac.senate.gov/examining-irre…
1/ While the witness list includes @C_C_Krebs and @VotingGuy, both of whom played important roles in helping secure #election2020, it includes no others who serve on the front lines of elections, such as state and local election officials, vendors, and other federal partners.
2/Any unverified claims of election irregularities should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. Look no further than the recent committee hearings held in the Georgia General Assembly for affirmation of this principle. gpb.org/news/2020/12/1…
3/As the Senators, witnesses and others prepare for tomorrow's hearing, they should be mindful of the fact that any false claims of election irregularities could cast further doubt on the legitimacy of #Election2020.
For example, foreign adversaries could try and amplify allegations of baseless election irregularities in an effort to to further undermine public confidence in the U.S. democratic process. The hearing must be based in reality, not a platform for #misinformation.
4/Finally, following yesterday's #ElectoralCollegeVote, it's been great to see a consensus finally begin to emerge around the #election2020 results. cnbc.com/2020/12/15/sen…. For the health of our democracy, it's important that tomorrow's hearing not impede this progress.
