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/…

Great piece by @JenAFifield about the potential upcoming ballot image audit in Maricopa County by Ray Lutz’s nonprofit, Citizens Oversight. 1/ azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
“The Senate would pay the nonprofit, and Lutz said it would also accept outside donations, but not from political organizations or ‘from crazies.’” 2/
“Asked specifically whether he would accept donations from the Republican nonprofit advocacy organizations that have been created to fundraise for the audit, he said he would not.” 3/

Maybe it really is time for public hand counting, at least of federal races.
The problem is the length of America’s ballots. If we conducted state & county elections at a different time of year than federal, then hand counting would be more viable. 1/
The move away from precinct voting & toward large vote centers & vote by mail make hand counting less likely than it already it is. 2/

FWIW, Lutz is no MAGA. He wants to do a ballot image audit. IMO, too many election integrity advocates are working w/ MAGAs. Part of the problem is that there is no one else; Ds refuse to even request robust manual audits of their own poll-defying losses. 1/
It is not what I would do. I hope it doesn’t backfire. Just explaining the back story. Lutz would have been thrilled to do this for a race that a Democrat unexpectedly lost but Ds aren’t asking. 2/
We can debate whether it’s a good idea to do it in Maricopa. I honestly don’t know. I tend to think not but I’m unsure. 3/

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 highly recommend the new graphic novel version of @DanRather’s book, What Unites Us. 3/ Image
