.@AZGOP: Will u audit ES&S voting machines in AZ too? Cuz the “expert” that @MaricopaGOP wants to sic on Dominion (debunked “expert”Russ Ramsland) says that ES&S voting machines steal votes but that GOP leaders won’t look at ES&S. @KenPaxton (14:28) 1/
2/ To be clear. I am NOT saying Ramsland is credible. He is the guy who switched “Michigan” stats with MInnesota stats to make it look like Dominion engaged in fraud in Michigan. But the GOP’s deference to ES&S is objectively bizarre.
3/ Why rely on Ramsland to go after Dominion but ignore him about ES&S?
4/ Q: Who does it? Seems like an action someone has to take.”
Ramsland: “ES&S, the operators. The people who are actually conducting the election here electronically is ES&S. They are a private company.” (14:28)
5/ Seems like Ramsland just swapped vendor names (Dominion instead of ES&S) bc the GOP doesn’t want anyone looking at ES&S. Weird. He did the same switcheroo with Michigan & Minnesota, remember?
6/ Article about how Ramsland switched Minnesota and Michigan. Who will write the article about his switching Dominion and ES&S? washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
7/ At 26:43, Ramsland says “our elected leaders in Texas aren’t listening [about ES&S].” TX uses ES&S & Hart, not Dominion.
Hey, @KenPaxtonTX! You were so keen to sue other states over Dominion, but u won’t look at ES&S?!Yeah, that’s not weird at all.
8/ 2019 Video where Ramsland says @KenPaxtonTX wouldn’t take meetings from him re: ES&S (the vendor used in Dallas county).
See 30:30 - 36:31 where Ramsland complains about ES&S, but says Texas leaders “are running from this.”
“We’ve begged,” he says.
9/ How about we resolve this by having credible experts analyze both Dominion AND ES&S voting machines? Look at Hart, Knowink, Tenex too. And multiple states: TX, FL, SC, MT, etc. And let’s do some manual recounts down ballot too. #ProtectOurVotes

Seeing as everyone is discussing Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, here’s a reminder that he & Claremont president Ryan Williams spearheaded the “79 days” report, which “war gamed” a 2020 scenario where MAGA sheriffs might deputize Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, & 3%ers. 1/
CNP Board of Governors member Leonard Leo “participated in the Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, & Barrett …selection & confirmation process” AND “outside efforts in support of the Roberts & Alito …confirmations,” per the Catholic Information Center (whose board includes Leo). 1/ cicdc.org/speakers/leona…
2/ CNP = Council for National Policy, the Christian Right’s umbrella organization.
WTF? The right wing SCOTUS majority held that Trump is immune re: claims that he directed the DOJ to conduct knowingly sham investigations b4 admitting that, “TRUE THERE IS NO PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY CLAUSE IN THE CONSTITUTION…” (See pp. 37-38) Remember how they reversed Roe v Wade, emphasizing that the constitution includes no explicit reference to abortion? 1/ supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
2/ From pp. 37-38
3/ What further blows my mind is that the right wing SCOTUS majority even manufactured a three prong test for this manufactured right to presidential immunity. Remember how right wingers complained incessantly about Roe v Wade’s three trimester approach for abortion rights?
Holy astroturf. The fundamentalist Christian takeover of the Carroll ISD school board in Southlake, TX included Hannah Smith —an alum of the Becket Fund (whose board includes Leonard Leo), protege of Leo ally Robert George, & former clerk of Leo pals Clarence Thomas & Alito. 1/
2/ The Daily Signal is the Heritage Foundation’s media arm. Heritage’s board includes Leonard Leo ally Robert George. dailysignal.com/2021/06/10/she…
Oh look. The Center for Baptist Leadership founded by Trump/Heritage alum William Wolfe follows SBC Pastor Jonathan Elwing who has been arrested for possessing images of himself molesting a 2 year old. Wolfe recently said that the SBC has no sex abuse crisis. FFS. 1/
