This is a really informative piece that make several important points. 🧵

1/ The #election2020 results nationally, in Arizona, and in Pima County were legitimate. It shouldn’t bear repeating, but it does.
2/Voter fraud is rare. As a former state and local election administrator, who now studies these issues as an #ELECTIONINTEGRITY fellow for @gmfus’s @SecureDemocracy, these findings in Pima County are much more the rule than the exception.
3/this is in part because election officials are often diligent in tracking down instances of voter fraud, using procedures such as those reported in this piece.
4/it’s also because the risk/reward for such behavior isn’t great. Potential consequences for voter fraud often includes significant fines and jail time, while successfully engaging in such conduct often doesn’t even offer the opportunity to change the election outcome(s).
5/Finally, this piece is the latest to show that if election officials are given a reasonable opportunity (adequate time, resources and laws) to do their job free from political interference by others, they can do it pretty well. #trustedinfo2020, #trustedinfo2022
