Florida GOP candidate “allegedly threatened to send 'hit squad' after Republican rival” William Braddock said, “I really don't want to have to end anybody's life for the good of the people of the USA…But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done.” 1/ politi.co/3gy1C2B
Braddock allegedly claimed to have access to a “Russian and Ukraine hit squad.” 2/
4/ “Congressional candidate William Braddock asked for a continuance in the case to review evidence. A new hearing is set for July 9.”baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/…
5/ “Braddock and Luna are trying to win the Republican nomination for House District 13, which is being vacated by Democrat Charlie Crist, who is running for governor.”

“Amanda Makki, another candidate in the race” is “also accused by Luna as conspiring with Braddock.”
6/ Here is the recording. OMFG. Listen.
I’ve heard one theory that this was an “op” (ie, Braddock meant to be recorded) intended to make the Republican opponent (who is also batsh#t) look good. I’m skeptical, but it’s something to keep in mind.

The Arizona Republic argues that “public records law does not permit the Senate to play 'hide the ball' by delegating core responsibilities to a third party like Cyber Ninjas..." 1/

I appreciate the sentiment. But where has the media been for the past 20 years during which public officials delegated core election responsibilities to private vendors like ES&S & Dominion, which use their “private” status to avoid public records laws?! 2/
I’ll say it again. The Ninjas are a hideous parody of America’s opaque privatized voting system. What makes the media think private vendors are less partisan or more trustworthy than the Ninjas? Remember how ES&S lied about remote access software & internet connectivity? 3/

.@TXsecofstate, @TXAG, @essvote, & @EACgov are withholding info re: voting machine vendor ES&S’s hash validation failure & related election security concerns. They don’t even describe the records they are withholding. They already withheld a video. 1/ drive.google.com/file/d/1YwHnje…
.@EACgov now claims that it will respond to my January FOIA re: it’s investigation of @essvote’s hash validation failure in October. OCTOBER! How much do you want to bet they will put it off again when October rolls around? #Coverup. 2/
I am trying to follow up on my piece re: this issue. Apparently, these guys didn’t like the piece. It is shameful. Voters deserve to know what is going on with ES&S, America’s largest voting machine vendor. @whowhatwhy 3/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
