Democrats in 2020: "We need robust manual election audits!"
GOP: "Eff you! Audits are for snowflakes! We want unverified electronic results!"
1/
2/ Democrats (post election): "Too bad we lost all those down ballot races we were supposed to win. Oh well. Time to concede."
3/ GOP (post election): Yeah, too bad you lost all those down ballot races you were supposed to win. Good thing you conceded, or we would have called you "sore losers!"
4/ GOP (post election): "But about the top of the ticket.... Yeah, we know Trump was supposed to lose, but we don't trust the unverified electronic results. It turns out voting machines are insecure! Who knew? Time to storm the capitol and spread our shit and pee all over it!"
5/ Me: "Hey guys, can we at least agree that we need legislation requiring robust manual election audits for all federal races in 2022?"
6/ GOP and Democrats: "No. The one thing we agree on is that we are NOT going to discuss requiring robust manual election audits for all federal races in 2022."
7/ Dear voters: If we want robust manual audits for all federal races in 2022, we are going to have to demand it. Because our elected leaders aren't doing it for us. At least not so far. #RobustManualAudits
8/ If @GOP cares about election integrity, it will support a bill requiring robust public hand audits (or public hand counting) & posting of ballot images 4 all federal races in 2022.
If @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats care about election integrity, they will get the ball rolling.
👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/
While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/
ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…
Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…
A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/
