1/ Immediate action needed! First bill to be heard by GA's new House "Elec. Integrity" Comm. today (HB270) is direct attack on mail voters and would have even kept @GovKemp from voting in November.
Contact committee-- meeting at noon today. bit.ly/CGGhbill270
See thread
2/ Ill-considered bill just filed and put on agenda today. No time to let voters weigh in. It is Comm. Chair Barry Fleming's bill. He's trying to cram it through before anyone reads it.
Kemp would have been out of luck, needing last minute ballot.
ajc.com/politics/polit…
3/ Push back on this now, and write the Committee members. See our @CoalitionGoodGv letter in 1st tweet in the thread.
The bill cuts off sending out mail ballots 10 days before the election. And does not force counties to process the applications timely or mail on time.
4/ See my letter in Tweet 1 giving examples of people impacted by this wrong-headed bill.
Sponsors are:
1.Fleming, Barry121st
2.Jones, Jan47th
3.DeLoach, Buddy167th
4.Williams, Rick145th
5.Powell, Alan32nd
6.Blackmon, Shaw146th

Ask them to stop this game-playing!
5/ Twitter handles for the sponsors of this attack on voters:

@flemingbarrya, @JanJonesGA,

Tell them to stop it now!

GA's Gen. Assembly has the duty to address the lies some leaders told voters, falsely alleging a stolen election. Their false claims incited a riot and contributed to 5 deaths and much harm to the nation.
We @CoalitionGoodGv call on them to act now. 1/

bit.ly/CGG11921
2/ We sent letter linked above to every member of the General Assembly. If you agree that they must act now to address the concerns using evidence-based information and hard facts, please forward the letter to your representatives.

GA Capitol should not have to be fortress!
3/ Neither party is free from blame here. While many R's actively dishonestly fanned the flames of unfounded allegations, the Dem leaders were often passive, and did not step up demand transparency from SOS of election processes. They did not counter the misinformation.

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!

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.

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
3/ The hearing is at

@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.
