My power just went out and it is like 70 fkn degrees this does not bode well
The power is out for my entire street and so my neighbors and I are doing the thing where we all just stand in the front yard yelling “YOURS TOO?”
It is now back on but damn Texas it’s balmy outside and if you can’t even handle it now idk how we’re all gonna live thru the winter
in the chaos my neighbor's dog, Walker, ran into my yard to play. Shouts of "Walker" by his owners did not help, confused Walter.

Took me three days but, here’s the most detailed accounting so far of how Cleta Mitchell ended up on the board of advisors for a federal elections agency. votebeat.org/2021/11/19/227…
New here: discussion of Mitchell’s qualifications took place over email and outside of public view. Commissioners almost avoided saying her name in the meeting today, where one democratic commissioner accused J Christian Adams of hiding his financial ties to Cleta Mitchell.
Notably, each commissioner on this commission employees a full-time research assistant whose job it is to prepare them for meetings and for votes. Their business relationship is not a secret. Not even an open secret. It’s just…out there.

Some news: Three (3) years ago @drdesrochers and I covered a *slew* of misdeeds by Kentucky Sec. of State Allison Lundergan Grimes for @propublica and @heraldleader. Today, she and her deputy COS have been formally charged with ethic violations by the state ethics board.
The board has alleged that Allison Lundergan Grimes, once seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, instructed staff to steal information from the public voter file and then gave that information at no cost to candidates of her choice.
Her deputy, Erica Galyon, has been charged with instructing staff to provide information to Lundergan's attorneys through an open records request and then later deny the same information to a "member of the news media."

That member of the news media was me.

Another bizarre statement on the appointment of Cleta Mitchell to the Election Assistant Commission Board of Advisors.

This means absolutely nothing.
Michell was apparently first considered by the @USCCRgov in its April meeting — that mtg and the mtg held to approve her nomination last month are the only two meetings that do not have transcripts up online, and the agendas do not mention her name. usccr.gov/meetings/2021/…
I can find no public mention of Cleta Mitchell's name as the nominee on any USCCR public documentation. It is flatly unclear why her nomination only became public when someone sent me internal documentation 12 days after her appointment became official.

This appears to be a response by the EAC to Cleta Mitchell being appointed to its board of Advisors.

It is correct: The EAC does not have any direct control over who is on this board. The Help America Vote Act allows specific groups the ability to appoint them without review.
That said, it's not clear why this agency waited until 12 days after the appointment was official to tell anyone about it. United States Commission on Civil Rights didn't bother to announce it either.
Fascinating that the agency, 12 days after the appointment is official, still hasn't even said her name publicly. This is a pretty obvious attempt to distance to agency from Mitchell, and I sympathize: They can't do a single thing about this.

Breaking: Cleta Mitchell — an attorney who who was integral in helping Trump craft the false narrative he won the 2020 election — has been named to the board of advisors for the Election Assistance Commission.
2/ She was appointed effective November 3, but the EAC just announced her nomination today — 12 days later — in an email to stakeholders. Her term lasts until 2023.
3/ Mitchell's most notable contribution to the 2020 discourse was helping Trump strong arm Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, on a phone call in which he asked him to "find" some votes for him. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
