If Biden had lost, wld we still be content taking Krebs’ “word” that the election was secure? It’s great that Krebs got fired by Trump & all, but not a sufficient basis on which to bet our entire future. Comey got fired too. Both = Rs. Neither transparent.

I show in this video how Comey spread the lie of “no internet connectivity” to voting systems in 2016. Even if Comey didn’t know it was a lie in 2016, Krebs certainly knew it was a lie when he tried to say the same thing after the 2020 election. 1/

What an embarrassment for Krebs to be corrected by an agent of the Kremlin. To have the bad guys catch u “massaging the truth” (lying) helps the bad guys. 2/

Ds must stop it w/ the savior syndrome. Krebs got election offices to use two-step authentication. CISA scanned some vendors’ systems but won’t say which. They put censors on voter registration systems. But they decided it was ok to connect the voting systems to the internet. 3/

5/ Krebs later claimed that CISA advised election officials orally to remove the modems. Um, why not in writing?!

Krebs giving the VP of ES&S (of the secret remote access software and secret internet connectivity) a certificate of appreciation in February 2019. 6/

7/ Soon after Krebs gave that certificate of appreciation to ES&S, researchers found ES&S systems online. Can’t make this stuff up. It is inexcusable. nbcnews.com/politics/elect…

8/ And them Krebs tries to get away with falsely claiming our election was secure bc voting machines don’t connect to the internet?! A little after 1:23. hsgac.senate.gov/examining-irre…

9/ Also ES&S. vice.com/en/article/mb4…

10/ Reminder. 2020 saw an unexpected red wave.

Once upon a time in a country called America, a power-hungry political party called the GOP enjoyed about fifteen years of poll-defying victories after ensuring that America’s election system made it impossible to prove fraud. 1/

2/ They got away w/ it bc Democrats almost always conceded without a fight and because anyone who suspected fraud was called “tin foil” since they couldn’t prove it.

3/ America’s 2020 election flipped this situation on its head.

Before the Big Lie most experts agreed that US election audits are mostly theatre. I interviewed America’s foremost auditing expert right b4 the election. (see post 2) Ds are fighting lies w/ lies. Truth is our audit laws suck. It’s why we needed the #SAFEAct which Rs blocked. 1/

2/ THIS is the painful truth about most US election audits. Mostly they are theatre. It only became controversial to say this bc of Trump’s Big Lie. But it’s true. It’s why we needed the #SAFEAct, which the GOP blocked. Democrats must reintroduce it NOW.👇 nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…

@SenateDems

If @SenateDems and @HouseDemocrats want to expose the insincerity of the GOP’s “election integrity” campaign, they should reintroduce the #SAFEAct or another manual audit bill, be LOUD about it, & let the GOP explain why it opposes it. Heck, maybe they will even pass it.

Yes, Congress has the power under the US Constitution to regulate federal elections. The GOP often falsely implies that they don’t.

This is what I think about the Arizona #fraudit. It is propaganda. I oppose it. That said, most official audits in the US are theatre. Most experts would have said this before the Big Lie. We need laws requiring meaningful manual election audits for ALL federal races in 2022. 1/

https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1390453084443189249

2/ Otherwise, in 2022, we will just have #fraudits of Democratic wins and no meaningful manual audits of GOP wins, even if they defy the polls as occurred in 2020. This is a five alarm fire.

3/ This is what a friend of mine who studies audits wrote about Maricopa’s official audit. It was theatre. That does not excuse the GOP cherry picking Maricopa and Dominion. Again, most US election audits are theatre.

Democrats seem to have forgotten that Russia breached our election system in 2016 and 2020 and that we never got the necessary election security reforms set forth in the #SAFEAct. 1/
