30/ I haven’t double checked this data. If true, it implies Kirk could be lying about the hours he supposedly works for TPUSA related groups in order to maintain that TPUSA itself is nonpartisan & thus qualifies as a 501c3 @SenWhitehouse

Dear @amyklobuchar, @RonWyden, @JoeManchinWV: Why does your new voting rights bill NOT require manual audits starting in 2022?! Without this requirement, we can expect a repeat of 2020: Republican fraudits of Democratic wins & no meaningful audits of most GOP wins. #AUDITSNOW 1/
Republicans won 27 out of 27 House races that were predicted to be tossups. Few, if any of those races were audited meaningfully if at all. This is incredibly dangerous & reckless. 2/ Image
What is going on? Who specifically objected to conducting robust manual audits in 2022?! 3/

WTAF?! @CUBoulder established a faculty position called visiting scholar in conservative thought.” The first such “scholar” was an insurrection speaker who tried to “birther” Kamala Harris’s parents. The new guy wrote an essay defending Steve Bannon. 1/ coloradonewsline.com/2021/09/20/cu-…
Article by Quentin Young. 2/ ImageImage
Has @CUBoulder read up on what Bannon has been up to these past several years?! Here is a sourced thread to bring them up to date. The university should be ashamed. 3/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1438553…

I feel this way about traditional nonpartisan election-security advocacy too. Facts are facts. When one side has obstructed election security more than the other, it is crucial to call that out and to name names. 1/
2/ axios.com/gop-senator-el…
3/ Unfortunately, neither side has called for robust manual audits across the board for the 2022 election, which is bizarre and inexcusable. The new proposed voting rights bill would phase them in starting in 2024. 😡 @amyklobuchar

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/

Yes, Republicans deliberately suppress the vote. Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute has literally taught them how to do it at its training sessions. Alumni include Karl Rove & Mitch McConnell. Blackwell is in the CNP. #VoterSuppression 1/ salon.com/2005/05/25/bla…
“‘Can anyone tell me,’ asks Gourley, a veteran mock electioneer, ‘why u don't want the polling place in the cafeteria?’

Stephen, a shy antiabortion activist…raises his hand: ‘Because you want to suppress the vote?’

‘Stephen has the right answer!’ Gourley exclaims…’” 2/

“A Washington Post analysis of data from the Center for Strategic and International Studies found since 2015, attacks from right-wing extremists have resulted in 91 deaths, as opposed to 19 from those on the far-left. Obviously, both are unacceptable.” 2/
“A Rand study examining former extremists in the US, including those characterized as white supremacists, found out of 32 cases of radicalization, 22 noted financial instability, 17 noted mental health challenges, & 16 noted victimization, stigmatization, or marginalization.” 3/
