2/ “This is the consequence of white evangelicals wedding the future of their faith to the GOP since the 1970s, culminating in them not being the Bride of Christ but becoming the Bride of Trump.”
3/ “This is the consequence of steady white evangelical support for President Trump, to whom they gave infinite mulligans, no matter what he did.
The country and the world watched. Their congregants watched. Many left.”
4/ “With Trump, white evangelicals & their Christian nationalist allies gained...political power and clout. With Trump’s loss & the events of January 6th, the world saw the outcome of the Christian nationalism allowed &encouraged to run rampant in white evangelical communities.”
5/ “In this last-ditch attempt to keep its power, it showed its truest self. No amount of back-pedaling will make that less true.”
In Shelby County, TN, the GOP-led election commission is at war with the Dem-led funding commission over whether to move to #PenAndPaper (exception 4 voters w/ disabilities) or to buy new ES&S touchscreens to mark voters’ “paper ballots” for them. 1/ memphisflyer.com/commission-vs-…
The Republican-led election commission is determined to buy ES&S touchscreens, ignoring that the current ES&S/Diebold touchscreens were shown to have deleted votes from predominantly black precincts in 2015, as reported in Bloomberg. 2/ bloomberg.com/features/2016-…
It was @benniejsmith who discovered the vanishing black votes from ES&S/Diebold touchscreens in Shelby County, TN. He figured it out by comparing the precinct totals to the reported totals. I interviewed Bennie, who is now an election commissioner, last year. 3/
“Trump & the Pennsylvania Republican Party have asked a court to dismiss the Green Party-backed request 4 a recount of the state’s presidential election vote.” (And she did.) - 2016
2/ The #SAFEAct wld have banned internet connectivity to voting systems & required robust manual audits for all federal races starting in 2020. The GOP blocked it. axios.com/gop-senator-el…
Dear @chuckwoolery: Where the F#CK have u been?!!! Since long b4 the election, I & others have been SCREAMING about the modems that ES&S installed in precinct ballot scanners. The #SAFEAct wld have banned them, but Rs blocked the bill. Now u care only to scapegoat TFG’s loss. 1/
2/ I made this video with @KateRosenberg4. It received over 700k views, but the GOP didn’t care.
3/ The #SAFEAct wld have required robust manual audits for ALL federal races. Unless u plan to acknowledge that the GOP specifically declined to address this vulnerability b4 the election, u shld shut ur mouth. This election was conducted under the rules the GOP insisted upon.
Were these 2 Florida counties also compromised by Russia (Broward & Miami Dade)?! DSW’s response to the election supervisors’ denials is unsettling: “The information I have is classified (nervous laugh), so I’m not sure what folks have told you...” WTF?!
Via @johnhenrydale from his interview of me before the 2020 election.
Dear @POTUS: Why has this information not been declassified, and why does FBI Director Christopher Wray still have a job after concealing information about Russia's breach of Florida election networks from the American public? Why is #RealityWinner still in prison?
But for the Mueller report, we would not have even known that ONE Florida county was breached. The FBI under Chris Wray had decided to conceal this information even from state officials. 1/ govtech.com/security/Muell…
The FBI finally agreed to provide this information to election officials, but made them sign an NDA. Remember?! 2/ gizmodo.com/florida-govern…

“‘These operatives were in the vicinity of the opposition activist in the days and hours of the time range during which he was poisoned with a military-grade chemical weapon,’ the report alleged.” 3/
