Dear Democratic and Republican voters: Let’s all call our elected representatives in the House & Senate to request that they pass a law requiring #RobustManualAudits conducted in public (or public #HandCounting) for all federal races starting 2022. TY. #ElectionTransparency 1/
Congress has power over federal elections. 2/
One thing we CAN agree upon is that we (Democrats and Republicans) don’t trust each other and should not have to at the ballot box. #ElectionTransparency 3/
6/ This is the type of manual audit that Stark recommends.
7/ Oh. And election officials must preserve the ballot images (automatically generated by scanners as they count paper ballots) and make them publicly available too.
Manual recounts are very rare. Without automatic robust manual audits (conducted regardless of the margin of victory) & access to ballot images (which don’t reveal voters’ identities), we are blindly trusting our votes to black boxes. This is dumb. #RobustManualAudits 8/
The goal is to have more transparent elections. We need the supporters of the winner AND of the loser to have confidence that the result was free and fair. 9/

“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…
