A MAGA clerk illegally obtained & leaked the software 4 Dominion’s election management system (EMS). EMS’s are used 2 program voting machines & to compile precinct totals in many California counties. @CASOSvote must plan now 2 conduct a #RiskLimitingAudit of the Recall result. 1/
2/ @CASOSvote shld also require that most voters use #handmarkedpaperballots, as opposed to the new hackable touchscreen systems called “ballot marking devices aka BMDs), which mark your “paper ballot” for you. (exception for voters with disabilities)
3/ BMDs were an absolute disaster in the 2020 primary in LA county, which caused @SenAlexPadilla (who was SOS at the time) to have the county use mostly vote by mail in the general election. (Yes, Covid probably played a part in that decision too.) prospect.org/civil-rights/i…
4/ Honestly, @CASOSvote should already have planned to conduct a #RiskLimitingAudit of the Recall result anyway. Under the circumstances, the failure to do so would be absolutely indefensible. We need this regardless of the outcome. The key is to commit to it before the election.

👀In August 2020, Trump’s Federal Reserve approved a $50M coronavirus relief loan to a PA casino owned by the children & grandchildren of Louis DeNaples who was chairman of the bank that made the loan. h/t @jacobadelman 1/ inquirer.com/business/main-…
2/ The loan recipient: “the Mount Airy Casino Resort, owned by trusts for DeNaples’ children and grandchildren. DeNaples had to relinquish his own ownership to resolve charges that he’d concealed his ties to organized crime.”
3/ As noted by @j2dumfounded, the coronavirus relief loan to the DeNaples PA casino (the Mount Airy casino) was much larger than other such loans at that time.
Um, why did Trump’s Federal Reserve give an obscenely disproportionately large coronavirus stimulus loan to a PA casino owned by DeNaples w/ ties to the Bufalino crime family?! What did Trump want in exchange? (Recall that PA is a crucial swing state.) 1/ reuters.com/article/usa-fe…
Remember? Do not underestimate Steve Bannon. It’s not that he’s so extraordinary generally. It’s that he’s extraordinarily evil AND deeply connected both politically and financially. 1/
This was RT’d by Alexandra Preate, Bannon’s press Secretary in PA. Her dad, Ernie Preate, is a convicted felon & frequent guest on Bannon’s podcast. He’s an attorney & is defending Frank Scavo who organized buses to the insurrection & posted incriminating messages to his FB. 2/
3/ Was was Farage in PA (the Preates’ stomping ground) on Election Day?
.@GaSecofState is casting stones at @staceyabrams from a glass house. Georgia’s e-pollbooks were supplied by KNOWiNK, whose founder & CEO, Scott Leiendecker, is a former GOP election official whose wife donated $2,500 to his campaign in 2018. 1/
Chris Wray & Kavanaugh both worked 4 the Bush WH when it was was hiding its emails on that private server hosted by Smartech (which also, bizarrely, received Ohio’s 2004 returns b4 they were posted). Russia hacked Smartech in 2015, but Comey pretended it was no big deal. @RWPUSA
