Remember when Nelson blew the whistle that Russia was inside Florida’s voter registration system, & Rick Scott implied he was crazy, but Nelson was right & then Scott defied the polls to win the race after an unusually high number of mail ballots in South FL weren’t returned? 1/
4/ In Broward, the senate race was also placed in a bizarre location beneath the instructions. But this does not explain how DeSantis also defied the polls to win the governorship.
10/ Nelson was right, & Scott was wrong. The FBI under Chris Wray had decided to conceal the hacking from the public and even state election officials. Mueller finally confirmed it.
15/ I don’t know what the Senate Intelligence Report meant by “scanned.” But Jeh Johnson (Secretary of Homeland Security under Obama), told the author of the book Rigged that, as a general matter, “If you could scan it, if you could probe it, you could alter it.”
17/ Yes, there was a recount of the Senate race, but it was a sham due to Florida’s sham recount law. Weird how the Republican-led state legislature hasn’t moved to fix this...
18/ “[T]he method Florida uses to conduct election recounts is not a true recount of voter ballots, but simply a rescan of ballots through the same machines that initially counted them.”
19/ “If problems with the software — either through glitches or hacking — produced faulty results the first time, they will reproduce the same faulty results during a rescan.”
20/ “Dan McCrea, president of Florida Voters Foundation, calls it a “faith-based” rather than “evidence-based” election. ‘[Election officials] just sort of trust the machines, trust the vendors, trust insiders,” he says,’ and we shouldn’t have to [do that].’”
21/ According to @SEGreenhalgh, there were voter registration system anomalies or other problems in Florida (and numerous other states) in 2018.
22/ Too many states are not acting to protect their elections. It’s why we still need the #SAFEAct election-security bill, which would at least protect federal races by, among other things, banning wireless modems and requiring robust manual audits for all federal races.
23/ We also need a federal law requiring public disclosure of election-system breaches unless such disclosure would impede an active investigation. #Transparency#Accountability
Remember how Leonard Leo organized a fishing trip with SCOTUS justice Samuel Alito and billionaire Paul Singer? 1/ #TheLeoCourt propublica.org/article/samuel…

3/ Remember how that painting of SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas and billionaire Harlan Crowe includes Leonard Leo as well? #TheLeoCourt
Leonard Leo ally Tim Busch has sat on the board of EWTN, the world’s largest Catholic media network. EWTN explains here that the Catholic Church opposes abortion even if necessary to save the mother’s life. LEO stacked SCOTUS w/ Catholic hardliners. 1/ ewtn.com/catholicism/li…
Doug Wilson’s family publishing company published “The Case for Christian Nationalism,” which advocates an ethnically uniform nation ruled by a “Christian Prince.” Why is Tucker trying to normalize Wilson, Wilson’s network, & CN by omitting the most alarming parts? 1/

3/ This is the author of The Case for Christian Nationalism discussing his book, the one published by Wilson’s family publishing company and blurbed by Wilson himself.
“Most Southern Baptists Reject Tenets of Christian Nationalism: Lifeway Survey” (But a well funded new venture aims to change this. It’s led by WILLIAM WOLFE, a self-professed “Christian Nationalist” & ally of ROD MARTIN, former senior advisor to billionaire PETER THIEL.) 1/ crosswalk.com/headlines/mich…
2/ Wolfe’s new organization is called the Center for Baptist Leadership. I wrote about it here.
