GOP Georgia Senators Lose Bid to Alter Mail-in Ballot Rules 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“The GOP was seeking a court order that would force state election officials to have three people verify each signature and allow significantly more access to the canvassing process for partisan observers.” 2/
“But the state argued no such demands were made for in-person voting, even though verification of a state ID was open to just as much interpretation and error.” 3/
“The true motive, the state argued, was to vastly increase the rejection of mail-in ballots.” 4/

Interesting read about how those who questioned election results in 2000 (when Bush won by 537 votes > a machine deleted 16K Gore votes & Rs blocked the recount) & 04 (When Rs re-routed Ohio’s results 2 Smartech) have reacted 2 Trump screaming “rigged!” 1/ politico.com/news/magazine/…
The 16k vote deletion was corrected before certification. But there never was a statewide recount. The Florida Supreme Court ordered one, but the US Supreme Court shut it down. 2/
This piece discusses the 16k deleted Gore votes in Volusia county and how the explanation—a corrupted memory card—made no sense. 3/ nytimes.com/2018/09/26/mag…

This piece misleads. It begins with McConnell’s outdated 18% approval rating, then acknowledges he “clawed” it up to 39%, but omits that McConnell’s approval was much higher than McGrath’s, and omits the poll that had McConnell approval at 44%. 1/ rawstory.com/2020/12/why-th…
2/ “Likely voters have a mixed opinion of Senator McConnell, with 44 % saying they have a favorable opinion of him, while 46 % say they have an unfavorable opinion of him. Amy McGrath receives a negative 34 - 47 percent favorability rating. “ - Oct. 2020 poll.qu.edu/kentucky/relea…
3/ It also omits that the exit polls predicted a strong McConnell victory. Yes, McConnell won by more than the polls predicted, but this information should not have been omitted from the piece since the piece begins w/ a discussion of the polls.

This @GrassrootsSpeak thread about KY went viral. I didn’t realize until @JonathanSimon14 questioned it today that the 18% approval # was from a few years ago. In reality, McConnell’s KY approval was much higher closer to the 2020 election (& much higher than McGrath’s). 1/

3/ McConnell was expected to win. That said, he won by a lot more than the exit polls predicted. tdmsresearch.com/2020/12/14/202…

Johnson is right about internet connectivity & the lack of meaningful manual audits. IOW, @C_C_Krebs overstated the security of this election & underplayed internet connectivity. He mentioned only WI in response to Johnson’s fact check. He knows it was WI, MI, FL, & beyond. 1/
3/ The fact is that this was known by both Democrats AND REPUBLICANS before the election, but the GOP blocked election security legislation that would have banned the modems & internet connectivity & required robust manual audits. axios.com/gop-senator-el…

Krebs & Ds shld not have overstated the security of the election. Once under oath, if the questioner is prepared, the truth will come out re: internet connectivity & the lack of manual audits & their credibility will be ruined. Meanwhile, no one knows Rs blocked the #SAFEAct! 1/
The GOP blocked the #SAFEAct, which wld have banned internet connectivity & required robust manual audits. This should have been the Democrats’ talking point, not false assurances about how secure the election was despite internet connectivity & the absence of manual audits. 2/
