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/…
3/
4/ For Democrats to pretend the GOP’s election-security obstruction was inconsequential is a dubious strategy at best. I’m very worried it is dooming any chance for meaningful change before 2022. axios.com/gop-senator-el…

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.

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/
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.

“The peaceful transition of power is only possible if the supporters of the losing party can accept the results as free & fair. So u need...a hand marked paper ballot” & “risk-limiting audits to convince u & THE OTHERS that the election was...free & fair.” @HarriHursti 3/27/20 1/

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/

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.
