Thanks to the Big Lie, Democrats have let their guard down. Republican lawmakers in Georgia have decided that the state need only audit 1 race every two years, w/ no requirement that it be chosen at random. New interview of election-integrity advocate @MarilynRMarks1 #gapol 1/
.@GaSecofState is no election integrity champion. He has appealed the court ruling that Marilyn's nonprofit obtained, which forced the state to have backup paper poll books in 2020. Virtually all election experts agree that backup paper poll books are necessary. 2/
Georgia's electronic poll book supplier, Knowink, is run by a guy whose wife donated to @GaSecofState & whose product manager belonged to College Republicans and campaigned for Ed Martin, a member of the Council for National Policy. The system needs checks & balances (paper). 3/

.@BennieGThompson needs to be able to question Sam Lazar, Frank Scavo, and the rest of the #PASeditionSquad. Why did Lazar have a radio? Who was he communicating with? When was this planned?
Who did Lazar meet with when he went to DC on December 12?

@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/

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/
