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/
To avoid disputes re chain of custody, the ideal is to conduct the hand counting at the precincts on election night. 3/

Texas & voting machine vendor ES&S are hiding something. I requested a copy of the video of the voting-system examination that triggered a secret multi-state investigation of ES&S by @EACgov last year. Texas AG Ken Paxton (Mr. “Stop the Steal”) just ruled I can’t have it. 1/ ImageImage
In other words, Paxton, who tried to overrule other state’s election results due to baseless claims about Dominion Voting is now engaged in a coverup about ES&S. 2/
Obviously, the video could have been trimmed to remove passwords, which should be updated regularly anyway. This is a coverup. 3/

History of the Filibuster. “The Southern filibusters were serious, well-organized power plays designed to defeat any attempt to extend equal rights to black people.” 1/ historynet.com/a-short-histor…
“For decades, the House passed bills to outlaw discrimination and protect the right of black citizens to vote, only to watch the bills killed by filibusters in the Senate.” 2/
“In an era when white mobs frequently lynched black people with impunity, Southern senators used filibusters to defeat anti-lynching bills in 1922, 1935, 1938, 1948 and 1949.” 3/

“Where have all the ladybugs gone?” 9/20/18 1/ nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna9…
2/ “Last year, a study that found an 82 percent mid-summer decline in the number and weight of bugs captured in traps in 63 nature preserves in Germany compared with 27 years earlier.”
“It was one of the few, if only, broad studies. Scientists say similar comparisons can't be done elsewhere, because similar bug counts weren't done decades ago.” 3/

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/

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/
