"You also need to be aware of what we are doing in Colorado in gaining access to the Dominion systems under the radar. We have several county clerks cooperating" - Joe Oltmann (FEC United) to Sidney Powell, 1/22/21

2/ I didn't know until now that the rogue MAGA election clerk in CO might have worked w/ Joe Oltmann, the guy who started #Dominiongate by recounting an "antifa call" on a date he can't verify w/ participants he can't verify. Yike.gjsentinel.com/news/western_c…
3/ We need a federal law and/ or state laws requiring rigorous manual audits for many or most races on each ballot in the 2022 midterms. There is so much at stake. Why haven't the Ds introduced legislation this session to require this?! @amyklobuchar
4/ Under oath in a deposition, con artist Sidney Powell finally admitted that there’s no recording of a conversation in which Eric Coomer of Dominion Voting said he had rigged the election. She had previously falsely claimed that such a recording existed. cnn.com/2021/10/07/pol…

2/ Why not a standalone bill? It is so much easier to message than an omnibus. This may be the one and only time when the GOP's own constituents would pressure them to pass a bill requiring rigorous election audits and #HandMarkedPaperBallots and removal of wireless modems.
3/ Some Rs in Congress might actually vote 4 such a bill due to pressure from "Stop the Steal". If it fails, Ds can at least message that they tried to improve security and it was the Rs who stood in the way. (Ds cld have messaged this re: 2020, but didn't, which was a mistake.)
On 10/12/20, Fox agreed to pay millions of dollars to the family of Seth Rich, implicitly acknowledging that Fox had spread the lie that Rich had leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks in 2016. Fox insisted the settlement remain confidential until > the election. nytimes.com/2021/01/17/bus…
Indicted Proud Boy organizer Joe Biggs helped spread this lie. I’m working on a Proud Boys piece, which is how I stumbled upon the article. I’d missed the news about the settlement.
Biggs also spread Pizzagate (the lie that HRC was running a pedophile ring in a pizzeria). 1/
Actually, Democrats wanted hand marked paper ballots (pen & paper), but Rs refused and went with the machine marked kind. Rs chose Dominion, which was a relief, bc Georgia previously had Diebold/ES&S, which had issues with vote flipping & losing votes from black neighborhoods. 1/
I discussed problems & concerns with Georgia’s old Diebold/ES&S voting system & w/ its voter registration system here. 2/ jennycohn1.medium.com/neither-trump-…
The thing is, any touchscreen system, whether its ES&S or Dominion, is asking for trouble imo. They must receive programming from centralized systems that are themselves vulnerable. 3/
32/ For too many, the status quo has long been to soft peddle the truth about election system vulnerabilities. It was getting better. But the Big Lie set it way back on the left.
33/ Examples of my trying to speak truth to power - even to those in power on the left.
