Hi you put a press release out on November 10 that read in part, “ Now for those in the media who are angry that Republicans won’t just take their word for it that Biden won — I think you need some self-awareness.”
Here’s the most telling tweet in the thread. Rubio has picked up and dropped voter fraud conspiracy theories as it suits him over the past 4 years, agreeing when he wants to appease Trump supporters and backing off when it’s clear he’s gone too far.
Threats to our democracy were present long before rioters broke into the capitol. And they started with tweets like this - questioning basic tenants of democracy in order to advance your own political goals. Rubio should not be able to wash his hands of this by tweeting.
Anyway, self-awareness, yada yada yada.

This swastika doodle was left behind on a clip board by poll watchers in Fulton County Georgia. I was just sent this by a Georgia official. ImageImageImage
In Fulton, officials driving ballots in to be processed were accused of stealing ballots and people began writing their license plate numbers down. They had to institute a policy of reverse parking their cars to protect themselves, since Georgia doesn't have front license plates.
One man began kicking a ballot bag through the fenced off area, and denied doing so despite a cop watching him do it. He was forced to leave.

There is no natural federal agency to do this. If one was made to, they 1) wouldn’t know how and 2) it would represent a massive federal power grab that is unprecedented. And if it’s the state, they’ve already done an audit. The votes have been counted THRICE.
The behavior of republicans from 2016 to now is striking. Making elections critical infrastructure? Allowing DHS to play a major role? Back then, tantamount to a war on states rights. Now? Who cares about states rights. The federal government can do what it wants.

The Wayne county board of canvassers certified the results of the election in 2016 unanimously despite a far higher discrepancy rate than this year - because small discrepancies between the number of voters checked in and those who cast ballots is NORMAL.
The two republicans were even willing to certify the results in Livonia, a suburb in Wayne county outside of Detroit, even tho the discrepancies there were several times higher than any precinct within Detroit. What’s that? That’s racism.
So why did these discrepancies happen? Bc some folks sign on the wrong line,then sign on the appropriate line to check in. Others aren’t checked in at all bc the poll worker makes an error and gives them the ballot first. Others check in, get to a voting machine and don’t vote.

“We’re not the government,” says Rudy, who says that “plenty of people would have been arrested by now” if he were still in government. ...as the mayor of New York City?
He will not present evidence to the media because he says courts wouldn’t like that. I know of no court that doesn’t accept evidence because it was first given to the media.
Evidence does not demand exclusivity.

Infuriating. DEFCON is widely recognized by election admins as pointless. It does not replicated an actual threat environment. That NBC sent a reporter to act as if it did blows my mind. And that DEFCON organizers are now *taking credit* for improvements this year is laughable.
The machines they use are years old, bought on eBay, hackers are allowed unlimited & total access to them. This does not replicate the election environment in any way. Still, those same organizers made major media outlets believe that 13 year olds were capable of hacking machines
If DEFCON organizers are upset that Trump has used their *own words and exercises* to his advantage this year, they have no one - no one - to blame but themselves and the media who bought it.
