Ds made no effort to assess the legitimacy of the GOP’s poll-defying & otherwise dubious wins in 2020.

By contrast, Trump claimed w/o proof that the election was rigged against HIM, even tho he outperformed the polls & his own party had blocked efforts to secure the election.1/

10/ North Carolina senate.
11/ Democrats should heed this advice.
12/ Republicans should heed this advice.
13/Again, the GOP won all 27 House races that were rated as tossups, and flipped three supposedly safe blue House seats. The Democrats flipped no red House seats. This was the blue wave that wasn’t.
14/ The screenshot in post 1 is from an article I’m working on.
16/ “I was struck…that the Republicans will accept no— repeat, no —cybersecurity standards. And I pointed out that right now…you can have a voting machine with an open connection to the internet…And the Rs objected and then sat down..” - @RonWyden, 2020 link.medium.com/qhfOF0L9Ejb
17/. If we have a repeat in 2022, it’s over.
18/ So how do we stop the Democrats from conceding our democracy—without even conducting meaningful audits—in the next election? Seriously, how? The new voting rights bill has many good things, but it does not require audits in 2022. Rather, it phases them in starting in 2024.

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image

The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/ Image

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/ Image
