1/ Our interns are in Bartow Cty documenting the voluntary post-election audit,--more thorough than the thin SOS audit rules and GA law require. @CoalitionGoodGv lawsuit seeks such robust post-election audits. Buy lunch and gas for our smart young interns! bit.ly/CGGDonate
2/ Bartow is setting a good example by using their authority to do more than the minimum required to certify the vote tallies.
Every county board should carefully consider what additional steps they should be taking in every election to gain more assurance of accuracy.
3/ Here are our interns Emma and Harrison on the job in Bartow. They are pre-law students at UGA. They have been invaluable help in gathering evidence about the operation (and problems) of GA's new voting system. And getting great exposure to election legal issues.
4/ You can help us keep them (and our attorneys) on the job for the major task ahead providing evidence to the federal court of the need for hand marked paper ballots that can truly be audited for confirmation of the election outcomes. bit.ly/CGGDonate

1/GA--Want to help your candidate, party, or election security from wherever you are tonight? If you have an internet connection and attention to detail, you can!
Task is saving all iterations of precinct results for a few counties for later reference.
Explainer ⬇️
2/ Precinct level election results updates will be uploaded no less than 3 times tonight in every county. They are available in worksheet format. Each iteration needs to be saved, because sometimes funky things happen from one update to the next. But previous worksheets disappear
3/ Through at least Friday, more iterations will be uploaded, as provisional & absentee ballots are cured, & military ballots arrive. Each iteration with timestamp should be preserved.
If there's an irregularity, having each iteration can help locate cause or occurrence.
1/ I was so angry that GA State Senator @williamligon and colleagues held a highly partisan election "hearing" encouraging lies and false allegations, allowing no rebuttal. So I annotated the transcript of @JovanHPulitzer ⬇️ highlighting some of his many lies.
See thread.
2/ He knows almost nothing about GA elections, the voting system, or ballots. So he made up wild sensational lies that made no sense whatsoever, and sold them like snake oil to the GOP senators.
My annotations- bit.ly/CGG12_30Sen
The video.
3/ Next he demands that HE be permitted to scan and inspect ballots to determine the "counterfeit" ballots. There is no indication that there are any "counterfeit ballots." Where did that come from?
The GOP senators voted to support this ridiculous shameful effort.
1/ There is a GA Senate Judiciary Committee meeting happening now. (See below) The lies and misinformation coming from "experts" and witnesses are atrocious and should not be happening at all, and certainly not without rebuttal with actual facts.
2/ We @CoalitionGoodGv will offer rebuttal after we create a transcript. We will publish publicly.
Time for facts. These witnesses need to be forced to defend their outrageous allegations
@BrendanKeefe 1/ I think that it should be pointed out that any conscientious observer/pollwatcher assigned to watch ballot scanning would not have left until room was secured and closed. You don't just walk away when managers say "we are going home soon. " You watch the close down.
@BrendanKeefe 2/ You ask to record seal numbers. You count the ballot boxes. That is your job if you are an assigned ballot scanning monitor. You don't leave early and then blame management for change in schedule.
Also let's not forget about the ballot containers they call "suitcases," ....
@BrendanKeefe 3/ The observers were there (or should have been there) when the containers were put under the tables for storage.They could have recorded the seal numbers.
They shouldn't pretend surprised that the containers were there. Containers didn't appear from thin air.
1/ This famous GOP attorney is advising people not to volunteer as appointees of their parties to be observers for oversight of elections, but to work for money for the gov't officials, and implies that watchers don't make a difference. He's very wrong!
See thread. ⬇️
2/ The reason that the plaintiffs in Trump lawsuits have had to throw b.s. against the wall to see what sticks and have made so many inaccurate claims is that they had very few observers during the election processing in GA. Very few collected the evidence for their party.
3/ Vast majority of poll workers "officials" will not collect evidence for the parties. Most are too fearful of being fired and their loyalty is to their county staff boss.
Observers/watchers are advocates for their parties and candidates, and can challenge discrepancies.
I don't disagree with @stphnfwlr (for once!😃), but I have reached out to Beach, Carson, Thomas to offer information on the system, share our experts' reports, and offer to attend LAT with them to help point out fact from fiction. There's so much of both! 1/
2/ Seems GOP officials know that "something's not right" about the Dominion system and are getting bombarded with lots of speculation and not much fact and science.
And far less solutions--and there are quick easy solutions.
3/ This idea of conducting a "mock election" on Dominion machines is not going to be helpful to @BeachforGA and his colleagues to determine the reliability of the system.
It's like Volkswagen's Dieselgate. It will work perfectly in mock election or test mode.
