IMHO, the Religious Right has no business supplying US election equipment. Any form of fanaticism that is prone to elevating the laws of one’s perceived God above the laws of the United States shld have no place in the administration of elections. 1/
Seriously. There are people with this mentality in the US. They need to keep their hands off our elections. 2/
Why would anyone blindly trust election equipment supplied by a religious extremist? 3/
Religious fanatics should not be election officials either. It’s time to speak up about this! 4/

The Religious Right was born from the desire to maintain segregation in Christian schools. Most Religious Right leaders did not initially oppose Roe v Wade, but seized on it to deflect from their racism, make them appear to have a “moral” crusade, & gin up fanaticism. 1/
3/ “How much of antiabortion rhetoric is really about the unborn, and how much is a convenient and even cynical cover for white evangelicals to support, as they did, a white supremacist like Roy Moore, in Alabama, or Trump...?” - 2/5/18 politico.com/magazine/story…

Before you’re born, you “have to go through a huge bucket of 7 billion slips, one for each human.”

“Dip your hand in & that is what you get - you cld be born highly intelligent or not intelligent,...healthy or disabled,... black or white, born in the US or Bangladesh, etc.” 1/ Image
“You have no idea which slip you will get. Not knowing which slip you are going to get, how would you design the world?” - @DanRather (What Unites Us), discussing a thought experiment on empathy that successful investor Warren Buffett once discussed w/ a group of students. 2/ Image

I find this fascinating. Pro-lifers Mike McCarthy (McCarthy Group owns ES&S), Chuck Hagel (former chair of ES&S) and Howard Ahmanson, Jr (family provided initial ES&S funding) all opposed Trump’s re-election bc Trump is a POS. 1/ thetimesherald.com/story/opinion/…

That time Ohio’s Secretary of State, a right-wing religious fanatic, secretly hired other religious fanatics to re-route Ohio’s results through a backup server in TN, while another religious fanatic had remote access to Ohio’s county tabulators & Bush won the presidency & 1/
Bush, in turn, put a religious fanatic on the Supreme Court. Religious fanaticism and election administration are a very dangerous combination. 2/
