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/
What is going on? Who specifically objected to conducting robust manual audits in 2022?! 3/
In October 2020, @philipbstark, America’s foremost election auditing expert, told me that only a few jurisdictions conduct audits in a way that has a good chance of catching & correcting wrong outcomes. Even they, audit only a few races. 4/ nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…
Unless you have significantly different information, and I’m certain that you don’t, this glaring omission from your election bill is inexcusable, reprehensible, and incredibly dangerous. We deserve an explanation. 5/
To clarify, the bill does require manual audits but has a complicated phase in schedule that does not begin until 2024 with many exceptions and limitations. No requirement for 2022. 6/

@joshtpm @FedSoc You know what’s also a bad look? The head of @fedsec, Leonard Leo, is in the Council for National Policy (CNP), whose secret unredacted directory was just leaked. Other recent members include Steve Bannon (2014), KellyAnne (2014), Mike Flynn, Charlie Kirk, Ginni Thomas, etc. 1/
@joshtpm @FedSoc @fedsec 2/ I wrote about the CNP in 2017. They are the umbrella group 4 all of the destruction we are witnessing, from the attack on women’s’ rights, to the attack on public schools, the attack on LGBTQ rights, the attack on science, & the attack on the election. link.medium.com/hutrsmGYMjb

“Conservative Activist Charlie Kirk Leaves Liberty University Think Tank”

“The Falkirk Center, named for its founders, Jerry Falwell Jr. and Charlie Kirk, was the center of evangelical Trumpism. Now, both are gone.” 3/17/21 1/ nytimes.com/2021/03/16/us/…
“When the Falkirk Center think tank was established at Liberty University in Virginia in 2019, it quickly became the de facto headquarters of evangelical Trumpism on a campus that had risen to national prominence.” 2/
“Its fellows included Sebastian Gorka, the former aide to President Donald J. Trump. Rudy Giuliani, the former president’s lawyer, appeared on a Falkirk podcast.” 3/

Florida Republican ⁦@JoeGruters⁩’ text message strongly implies that the Fla GOP’s effort 2 curtail vote by mail is motivated by a desire 2 suppress Democratic votes rather than fraud prevention, the GOP’s official pretext. ⁦@TheJusticeDept⁩ 1/ politico.com/states/florida…
.@JoeGruters is the chairman of the Florida GOP. 2/
Recall that the Florida GOP is embroiled in a scandal, criminal case, and federal investigation arising from its use of shill candidates in 2020 to fool voters & siphon votes from Democrats. Here, @JoeGruters brags about picking up GOP seats, but doesn’t mention the shills. 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/
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/
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
