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.

“Peter Thiel Explains the New 'National Conservatism' *** In short, it's using the power of the state to punish his enemies and make the world the way he wants it to be.” 7/17/19 (It was Thiel who spent $10 million to get JD Vance elected in 2022.) 1/ reason.com/2019/07/17/pet…
Peter Thiel founded PayPal, which “continued to grow through mergers with Elon Musk’s financial services company, in 2000…” (JD Vance is the latest Thiel/Musk joint venture.) 1/ X.com immigrantentrepreneurship.org/entries/peter-…
Peter Thiel has implied that giving women the right to vote was a mistake. He’s also a billionaire, self-professed “Christian,” & longtime critic of “multiculturalism” who bankrolled JD Vance in 2022. Some Christian extremists thus embrace him despite his homosexuality (he was outed by Gawker). 1/

A JD Vance-backed project [and partner of Project 2025] wants to smash the institutions of liberal democracy. That's not good.” By Justin Ling, 7/16/24 1/ bugeyedandshameless.com/p/the-american…
