"American voters decide American elections" was our mantra this year. That holds true. American voters decided this election. This last ditch effort to overturn the will of the American voter & the Constitution should be called out for what it is: Un-American and anti-democratic.
These efforts also reinforce the foresight of the Constitutional framers in delegating the authority to conduct elections to the states, rather than a Federal body. An incumbent should NEVER be able to put their thumb on the scale of national elections.
I'm also so thankful that PA and GA prioritized replacing the old paperless voting systems they had in 2016 for the current systems with a voted ballot. There's much more to do, and Congress needs to provide states steady $ to invest in democracy.
Lastly, all votes are counted in the US & the evidence to disprove vote flipping is the literal paper ballots. My confidence in the security of the election is the hard work of 1000s of election & security officials that are getting trashed by elected officials. It must end now.

As news breaks about what looks to be a pretty large-scale hack, I have the utmost confidence in the @CISAgov team and other Federal partners. I'm sorry I'm not there with them, but they know how to do this. This thing is still early, I suspect. Let's let the pros work it.
Also, hacks of this type take exceptional tradecraft and time. On the 1st, if this is a supply chain attack using trusted relationships, really hard to stop. On the 2nd, I suspect this has been underway for many months. Need good detections to find victims and determine scope.
If you’re a SolarWinds customer & use the below product, assume compromise and immediately activate your incident response team. Odds are you’re not affected, as this may be a resource intensive hack. Focus on your Crown Jewels. You can manage this.
