Texas’ Rep. Louie Gohmert was "one of just four votes against bill to make lynching a federal hate crime
House voted 410-4 on historic Emmett Till Anti lynching Act, 120 years after first effort to enact a federal ban." 1/ dallasnews.com/news/politics/…
2/ "[F]or more than a century, a key impetus for a federal ban on lynching has been to allow federal law enforcement to step in when local police don’t."
3/ Nonetheless, Gohmert said lynchings should be prosecuted by states which provide stiffer sentences for lynching than the proposed federal Act would have provided, ignoring the concern that some states might not prosecute lynchings to begin with.
4/ "All other Texans supported the measure, including 22 Republicans and 13 Democrats."

😳Before Lin Wood joined Team Trump, his former law partners alleged in a lawsuit that Wood had emailed them, saying 'God was....commanding or directing him to accuse (them)' & that 'God has given me permission to be profane in this email.'" 1/

cincinnati.com/story/news/202…
2/ "According to the lawsuit, [Lin Wood's] email said, in part: 'You damn dumb mother------s… You are going to be ruined financially…Here are the findings of your final judgment day on earth for today, the day after my Valentine’s Day massacre.'"
3/ The suit further alleges that, in the fall of 2019, "Wood committed an 'assault and battery' on one of the attorneys who went to Wood’s home to check on him."

"A technical issue [w/ Knowink e-pollbooks] is being blamed for leaving more than 8 local races off up to 270 ballots on Election Day." kens5.com/article/news/c… 1/
2/ Based on this article, the problem did not impact many ballots. But I'm flagging it bc I'm monitoring the types of issues that come up w/ e-pollbooks.
3/ “'Now we know that when the poll pads were brought back up, there was an issue reloading ballot styles, not just in Comal County, but across the State of Texas." 3/

The poll pads are made by Knowink, not Dominion. Knowink is run by a former GOP election official from St. Louis. It’s product manager campaigned for Ed Martin, who is President of the Schlafly Eagles, which opposes the Equal Rights Amendment. Pls stop switching vendor names. 1/
Knowink did partner with Dominion in GA but they are not the same company. Poll pads are not voting machines either. They are separate tabulate computers used to confirm voter registrations at the polls. 2/
Poll pads also now encode the activation cards that are inserted into the BMDs to retrieve the correct ballot. In GA, the BMDs are supplied by Dominion. 3/

Um, the poll pads are used to encode the activation cards that are inserted into GA’s touchscreen voting machines to retrieve the correct ballot. If poll pads go down, it can cause problems for the voting machines. The poll pad vendor is run by a former GOP election official. 1/
I wrote about the risks of electronic poll books generally (and Knowink specifically) here. 2/ thedailyedge.substack.com/p/hacking-our-…
Knowink’s product manager once campaigned for Ed Martin who is now President of the Phylis Schlafly Eagles, which opposes the Equal Rights Amendment. 3/

Rasmussen is a joke. They blocked me for calling them out on a bogus poll they published before the election. 1/
2/ This was my tweet about their October poll, which they did with “Liberty Nation.”
3/ As you can see, they blocked me rather than attempt to defend their crap poll.

"In November 2006, a group called Epluribus published proof that Ohio’s reported results in 2004 were published not by the Ohio Sec of State but by Smartech in Chattanooga, TN, which also hosted the Bush White House’s emails." 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/es-s-is-americ…
"Although not proof of fraud, the revelation was understandably alarming to those who already had concerns about the 2004 election." 2/
"In June 2020, Smartech’s parent company, Airnet, signed a contract with the state of Georgia, whose upcoming run-off races will decide control of the US senate, although I’ve seen no indication that the contract involves elections." (But God only knows.) 3/
