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/

👀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/
