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.
4/ After blocking Democratic legislation that wld have made it possible to prove whether fraud had occurred or not (by requiring robust manual audits 4 all federal races), the GOP claimed without proof that the election lost by their candidate, an infamous conman, was fraudulent.
5/ The GOP did this even though all the polls predicted that the conman would lose.
6/ In response, the Democratic Party overstated the security of the election and made no effort to try to conduct meaningful manual audits of their own poll-defying House and Senate losses.
7/ The GOP, despite having blocked legislation that would have required meaningful manual audits 4 all federal races & vendors, set out to bolster their baseless election-fraud narrative by conducting propaganda #fraudits of just one race & one vendor in cherry-picked counties.
8/ In response, the Democrats decided to NOT reintroduce legislation to require meaningful manual audits in the next election (2022) because doing so might bolster the GOP’s claim that the 2020 election was insecure.
.@threadreaderapp Plz unroll. TY
9/ This was a problem because the system really was insecure. The GOP had made it that way by thwarting the Democrats’ efforts to fix it.
10/ Democratic voters might have insisted that their elected leaders reintroduce or write new legislation to make the system secure and transparent for the next election. But no one told them the truth, so no one knew to speak up, much less what specific changes to demand.
11/ The Democratic Party and media had fallen victim to a deadly group think. They had decided that maintaining public trust in elections meant pretending elections were more secure than they were.
12/ Sadly, this is not a fable. It is the all too true story of electronic voting in the United States.
13/ I am sounding the sound the alarm. Without the truth of how we got here and where we are and who is responsible, meaningful election-security reform and a happy ending to the American experiment may elude us.

15/ Thank you for reading. #ProtectOurVotes #SAFEAct

The US Constitution makes NO MENTION of the Bible, God, or Christianity. The only references to religion are in the 1A, which creates a wall between church & state. Michelle Bachmann is a protege of New Apostolic Reformation leader Jim Garlow, a “Seven Mountain” dominionist. 1/
