Good Grief. I’m a Democrat and I voted for Biden. I have concerns about the many unexpected down ballot Democratic losses. Democracy and blind faith are incompatible. I promote evidence-based elections, as I explain below in my New York Review piece. TY. 1/
2/ nybooks.com/daily/2018/11/…
3/ Trump’s lies about Dominion and his own 100% expected election loss (which was much more rigorously audited than anything down ballot) don’t prove the validity of the many unexpected Democratic losses, which have not been vigorously & publicly audited.

Warning. Election insiders construe these phrases 2 include controversial touchscreens that mark paper 4 u:

* “voter marked paper ballots”
* “voter verifiable paper ballots”
* “voter verified paper ballots”
* “paper ballots”

If we want #PenAndPaper, we must say #PenAndPaper 1/ Image
Alternatively, you can get what you want by including the phrase “hand marked” before the phrase “paper ballots.” #HandMarkedPaperBallots. But I find that this confuses people who then reply “Yes! Paper ballots!” Which of course can now mean touchscreens. 2/
It has been a messaging nightmare. I find #PenAndPaper works better. So that’s what I usually say now. #PenAndPaper (with an exception for voters with disabilities). 3/

What about all the down ballot races? As far as I know, no one checked those races w/ robust manual audits or recounts. You don't mean to suggest that unchecked races are necessarily secure, do you? 1/
2/ I have concerns that the Democrats lost 27 out of 27 House races that were supposed to be "toss ups." I have concern about poll-defying Senate races in MT and NC. You don't mean to suggest that those were necessarily secure, do u? How would u know? What about domestic actors?
It is very confusing to have most experts say that we can't know if an election is secure without conducting robust manual audits or recounts and to then have you say the election was secure even though we didn't do these things down ballot. 3/

Most composite polls in 2020 gave Trump only an 18% chance of winning. Trump screaming “rigged” re: his expected defeat is nothing like the legitimate concerns raised about Trump’s poll-defying win in 2016 or Bush’s poll-defying win in 04. 1/
Those who tried to equate these very different situations are either uninformed or else they are deliberately ignoring the facts. #propaganda 2/
Trump had nothing to go on but repetition and the force of his own well oiled propaganda machine. 3/

Only a handful of jurisdictions require robust manual audits. Those jurisdictions audit only a few races. For all we know, Rs cld have rigged some of the Senate, House, & state legislative races in 2020. GOP Senate wins in MT & NC defied exit polls. 1/
2/ I wrote this about the sorry state of election auditing before 2020. nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…
3/ The presidential race was audited more than would otherwise have been the case only because bc Trump screamed “rigged” even though most consolidated polling estimates gave him only an 18% chance of winning.

The red flags re: the #GA06 election (Ossoff v Handel) & the public attention brought to them almost certainly played a key part in the court’s landmark decision that paperless touchscreens are unconstitutional. Those who claim we shld not discuss red flags do a disservice. 1/
2/ I wrote about the #GA06 election here. Change doesn’t occur in a vacuum. Those who think we can effect meaningful change—while pretending to be able to know that no one has ever hacked an election—are naive. jennycohn1.medium.com/georgia-6-and-…
3/ Fortunately, @MarilynRMarks1 stepped up to the plate in Georgia. But it was not easy.
