@RayTLee3 @walterolson @walterolson

The right claims lots of voter fraud but actual examples are almost nonexistent,

The left insist that Photo ID disenfranchises voters, but media never interview actual examples: adult American citizens (by definition) without Photo ID.

1/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Maybe some nonagenarian nuns in Indiana, but that’s it.

High-powered Harvard professor claims 700,000 voters in Texas lack Photo ID, but hasn’t personally met a single one.

Seriously and confirmed.

Easy explanation for people moving between states.

2/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Many Americans think Motor Vehicles and the Elections Office link drivers license and voting records.

Not true.

Motor Vehicles sends information to the Elections Office but it’s one-way, no follow-up.

Person moves out of state, gets new DL and registers to vote there.

3/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Motor Vehicles cancels drivers license from old state when issuing new drivers license to new resident.

Elections Office in new state registers new voter, doesn’t necessarily inform elections office in prior state of residence, really doesn’t care, no incentive to do so.

4/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson Meanwhile, old state drivers license expiration date eventually passes.

However, Elections Office in old state doesn’t necessarily know that anything has changed, so voter registration is still active.

Mis-match re documentation of former resident now in new state.

5/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard professor doing data science studies concludes that this is an active voter without valid Photo ID.

Did anyone check to see if the person is still around?

Doubtful.

If age 70+, IDs should be free so people keep them up to date.

6/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard Harvard professor doesn’t check the hypothesis:

If nobody can locate any specific examples under age 70, maybe 700,000 voters in Texas without Photo ID is wrong.

Media quote numbers from advocacy groups without asking to interview any examples.

7/
@RayTLee3 @walterolson @Harvard Pro-democracy Americans should challenge media that reject healthy skepticism.

Organizations help Americans get Photo ID, not just to vote, but to live and thrive:

@SpreadTheVoteUS

@VoteRiders

Photo ID is not wrong.

Thank you.

@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov Sure. Slightly snarky, but here goes:

Decades ago, Soviet Communism knew that they could not directly confront the United States and the West, and win, so they decided on an indirect approach.

They needed to make our national security professionals ineffective.

1/
@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov So, they decided to infiltrate communist operatives into the US Government, not as spies to pass information, but in the support functions:

Personnel
Travel
Financial Management
Computers
Inspector General
Security
etc.

to totally constipate the support functions.

2/
@consulardude @LuisMorenolg @CDCgov This would force national security professionals to use more of their precious time - each of us only has 168 hours each week - to engage re internal support functions, and less re confronting our adversaries.

Recruit to develop a similarly unhelpful organizational culture.

@Bodhizen @bedini_i @hansonDigby @drmammal @DennisCardiff @waltshaub Actually, I think progressives - and perhaps others - should consider political bisexuality:

Especially in a non-competitive, closed primary state, unless you have personal political ambitions, register in the dominant party in your region or state.

@fakedansavage

1/
@Bodhizen @bedini_i @hansonDigby @drmammal @DennisCardiff @waltshaub @fakedansavage Why?

To vote in the dominant party’s closed primary, either to decide the election, or to influence the nomination of the candidate likely to win.

In North Carolina, register as Unaffiliated to vote in either party primary; take your pick.

2/
@Bodhizen @bedini_i @hansonDigby @drmammal @DennisCardiff @waltshaub @fakedansavage This has absolutely nothing to do with your personal political philosophy, and everything to do with maximizing your influence.

In a red state, don’t complain about Republican primary voters; become one yourself, and vote for the more moderate candidate in their primary.

@OhioHistory @ohiolha @MaumeeHistory @LucasCountyCmsn

I’m here at @ChipotleTweets #900 at 1385 Conant Street, Suite A, @CityofMaumee @ohgov and I cannot locate any Historical Marker.

What (didn’t) happen here Monday April 13, 2015, changed the course of history.

1/
We have all seen #Afghanistan fall to the Taliban today.

At best, Afghan women and girls face an uncertain future.

One reason why, is because of what (didn’t) happen at Chipotle #900 in Maumee, Ohio, Monday, April 13, 2015.

First, on Sunday, April 12, 2015, @HillaryClinton announced her candidacy for @POTUS. 3/
