Let’s try to be better than Republicans and NOT spread misleading information. 3/ poll.qu.edu/kentucky/relea…
4/ We all make mistakes I hope @TheRickyDavila retracts his post.
5/ As explained in my thread, McConnell was predicted to win by a wide margin (though he won by an even wider margin). That said, I’d still love for his race to be manually audited. All races should be, but the GOP killed the #SAFEAct which wld have required that 4 federal races.
7/ Nate Silver gave McConnell a 96% chance of winning. Yes, polls are often wrong. But if we are going to use them to make a point, it is important to properly report what they said. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-…
8/ I am no apologist for vendors. I just think it’s important to be as accurate as we can be. I wrote this recently about ES&S, a vendor that I and others have warned about for years. link.medium.com/k5eB35osWcb

@AlexandraChalup "As MAGA World’s hopes for an election redo have slipped away, an equally improbable idea has begun to percolate among Donald Trump’s most bitterly disappointed followers: secession." 12/21/20 h/t @AlexandraChalup 1/ politico.com/news/magazine/…
@AlexandraChalup 2/"Texas GOP chair Allen West floated the idea of a new union of 'law-abiding states,' and Texas state Rep. Kyle Biedermann—previously best known for dressing up as “gay Hitler”—pledged to file a bill in Austin to put the question of Texas secession to voters."
@AlexandraChalup "Rep. Randy Weber also posted pro-secession material on his Facebook page, becoming the first official in Washington to advocate for disintegrating the U.S. Trump’s most reliable media supporters have likewise spread the idea nationally." 3/
Before the election, Republicans killed a proposed law, the #SAFEAct, which would have required robust manual audits for all federal races & banned internet connectivity to voting systems. You & your Republican colleagues have unclean hands on the issue of election integrity. 1/
This is reminiscent of the US attorney firing scandal under Bush/Cheney/Rove. The concern was that they had fired US attorneys who refused to propagate the mass voter fraud myth. In response to a subpoena, the Bush WH claimed to have “lost” 22 million emails. 1/
