Oh boy, I guess it's Georgia election misinformation hour at the trial
First on rates of ballot rejections dropping between 2016 and 2020 — there is NOTHING nefarious or suspicious about that, esp since GA entered into a legal settlement to standardize signature matching procedures AND there massive public education campaigns around mail voting
Everything Castor is reading from the transcript of the Trump/Raffensperger call is nonsense. Georgia has more rigorous signature matching than most states — both applications & ballot envelopes are sig matched and officials are trained in signature analysis by law enforcement

As impeachment managers begin their presentation today with never before seen video footage, it's important to consider how we got here: last month, I did this deep-dive into how the legacy of Bush v. Gore and the Brooks Brothers riot led us to Jan. 6: businessinsider.com/capitol-hill-i…
There are some uncanny similarities between the Brooks Brothers riot and the insurrection: they both occurred on a Wednesday, featured many well-off professionals, and sought to halt the counting of votes, trafficking in claims of a stolen election businessinsider.com/capitol-hill-i…
And of course, these events have similar figures involved — Roger Stone, who had *some* role in the Brooks Brothers riot (the exact extent of his involvement is disputed), went on to propel Trump to the presidency in 2016, claiming fraud along the way businessinsider.com/capitol-hill-i…

Bruce Castor explicitly recognized President Biden won the election fairly by saying, "the American people just spoke, and they just changed administrations" and that Americans are "smart enough to pick a new administration if they don’t like the old one" businessinsider.com/trump-lawyer-b…
Castor's argument:
-Undercuts what Trump's lawyers said in their brief that Trump's speech on Jan. 6 was justified b/c Trump thought the election was "suspect."
-Undercuts the logic behind Trump's attempts to overturn the election, aka how we got here
businessinsider.com/trump-lawyer-b…
.@thedailybeast reported today that Trump "has made clear to advisers that he absolutely doesn’t want his lawyers saying that Biden beat him fair and square" and "strongly feels...that doing so would amount to Trump admitting defeat" — which Castor did thedailybeast.com/welcome-to-tru…

excited to attend Bruce Castor's standup routine after the pandemic is over
“hey, what’s the deal with senators? You hear people saying ‘my Senator said this,’ I don’t even think about ‘my Senator’”
"I got lost then, and I still do" same

The senate finally finishes debate on whether to sustain the objection to AZ’s electors, will now vote
Vote to sustain the objection to Arizona's 11 electors for Biden fails 93-6 in the Senate
McConnell says the House will finish debate and voting on AZ's electors probably around 11:30-12, they went back into session about an hour later than the Senate so they're behind
