.@TXsecofstate claims it can withhold whatever it wants in response to my public records request re ES&S’s hash failure w/o describing the records withheld. This is not how it works in civil litigation where u must give a privilege log. Is it true under most public records laws?
I’ll answer my own question. No, they cannot do what they did. But who is going to stop them? I’m not active and not licensed in Texas. I need a Texas attorney to help. 1/ texasattorneygeneral.gov/sites/default/…
2/ “if the governmental body wishes to withhold particular information, it must establish that a particular exception applies to the information and must mark the records to identify the portion the governmental body believes is excepted from disclosure.”
3/ “Conclusory assertions that a particular exception applies to requested information will not suffice.”
.@kellyesorelle - can u help? This is unacceptable!
Here’s my written response to @TXsecofstate. I’ll send the same thing to Paxton, but he’s a crook so I’m not optimistic. This is a coverup of ES&S’s hash validation problems, and it is not okay. @EACgov is withholding information too.

Mastriano is the guy trying to organize an Arizona-style #fraudit in PA. He has close ties to the Capitol attack. This would be more dangerous than Arizona. The Preates, who are close with “Blow everything up” Bannon, are prominent figures in the PA GOP. 1/

Wow. “A long-awaited report on the 2020 election from a GOP-controlled Michigan Senate committee recommended that Democratic AG Dana Nessel consider investigating individuals who pushed false claims ‘to raise money or publicity for their own ends.’” 1/ detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
2/ “The suggestion was among the most striking details of the Senate Oversight Committee's recap of a months-long examination of the presidential election.” The report’s main author, Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, said he found "’no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud…’”
3/ "’The committee finds those promoting Antrim County as the prime evidence of a nationwide conspiracy to steal the election place all other statements and actions they make in a position of zero credibility,’ the report said.”

Giuliani held a fundraiser for PA gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. One of the guests was a dangerous freak insurrectionist who shouted on Jan. 6, “F*CK the tyrants. We need to hang these motherf**s.”

Mastriano is currently organizing an Arizona style #fraudit in PA. 1/

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/
azcentral.com/story/news/pol…
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/
