.@EACgov: In January, I sent u a public records request re: ur preelection investigation of ES&S’s hash validation issues, which impacted up to 19 states. You postponed ur production deadline until May, only 2 postpone it again until October, which is unacceptable. @benhovland 1/
I wrote about what I know of this issue here. You hold the missing pieces, but do not apparently want the public to know about them. 2/whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
Please follow the law by producing documents responsive to my request. It’s been more than five months already. Thanks. 3/
This article begins w/ a bogus premise. In reality, McConnell’s approval was around 40 % in 2020. More important it was higher than McGrath’s. The 18% is from 2017 (outdated). The author & @DCReportMedia knew this. But they led w/ it to make it click bait. And boy did it work. 1/
“Likely voters have a mixed opinion of Senator McConnell, with 44 % saying they have a favorable opinion of him, while 46 % say they have an unfavorable opinion of him. Amy McGrath receives a negative 34 - 47 percent favorability rating. “ - Oct. 2020 2/ poll.qu.edu/poll-results/
“For weeks, Bolsonaro has insistently cast doubt on Brazil's electronic voting system, in place since 1996, by claiming elections have been marred by fraud, most recently his own in 2018.” 1/ abcnews.go.com/International/…
“He says he should have won without a runoff. The nation's electoral tribunal last month ordered him to present any evidence of fraud, which he has yet to do.
This week, Bolsonaro said during a live broadcast on social media he could reject 2022 election results if he loses.” 2/
“Bolsonaro has been pushing for…a constitutional reform that would add printouts of each vote to the electronic system. Were the change implemented, a receipt for each electronic vote would be visible to the voter b4 being deposited into a sealed ballot box.” 3/
Good development. “Michigan's chief law enforcement officer, along with state police, will launch an investigation into those who have allegedly peddled disinformation about the state's Nov. 3 election for their own financial gain.” 1/ freep.com/story/news/pol…
“A Republican-led report that found no evidence of widespread fraud recommended the probe.” [This is fantastic imho] 2/
“The oversight committee's report did not mention which individuals should be investigated and Mukomel declined to say who will be investigated because the investigation is ongoing.” 3/
Reviewing Florida elections (including House races 26 & 27) should be a top priority for Democrats. Florida elections are always sketch and include planted NPA candidates, wireless modems, Russian hacking, unexpected GOP victories, & crappy audit laws.
Florida House District 26 was an unexpected GOP win. The District includes Miami Dade which has modems, ES&S, & a Republican election supervisor who was appointed by the guy who won the race. Weird initial posted results. Result cld absolutely be legit, but I want to review it.
We are in a tough place re vote by mail, not bc I think it is beset by fraud, but bc it is difficult to prove a secure chain of custody with mail flowing in every day over the course of many days. Rs will use any uncertainty to undermine future results (but only if they lose). 1/
That said, vote by mail uses #HandMarkedPaperBallots, which may deter hacking of central tabulation systems. Vote by mail also avoids long lines and vanishing polling places. We are in a bind. 2/
I still feel the answer is to champion as much security as possible and to put Rs on the defensive for thwarting security measures before the election. 3/ axios.com/gop-senator-el…
“My temperature spiked, I couldn’t breathe and my blood oxygen levels crashed. I went to the ER on the 10th night and was given an IV with an experimental antiviral antibody medicine,” Ring wrote on Facebook. 2/
“I was then sent home from the ER, only to return later the following evening when my temperature once again spiked, I was shaking uncontrollably, and my blood oxygen levels dropped dangerously low to 78. I couldn’t catch my breath and was certain I was dying.” 3/
