👀Jacob Engels is Roger Stone’s longtime aide. He denies being a “Proud Boy” but calls himself a “Proud Boys associate” & has been photographed many times w/ the group. That DeSantis may have invited Engels to an event suggests he is under the thumb of Roger Stone. Kompromat? 1/
It began as a single phone call from a concerned Florida voter whose party affiliation was switched to Republican w/o her consent. Now there are AG investigations in 3 Fl counties, reports from a 4th, & concerns the entire state may be impacted. My interview of @SenatorTaddeo: 1/
2/ Based on reports of voters having their party affiliation switched to Republican without their consent, formal investigations are underway in 3 Florida counties: Miami-Dade, Duval, & Hillsborough. There have been similar reports in Orange, but as yet no formal investigaion.
3/ On 3/7/22, @SenatorTaddeo and many of her Senate and House colleagues in Florida sent a letter to @DeptJustice requesting a federal investigation. She has not yet heard back, but is requesting a meeting in DC to discuss the data she provided & to push for that investigation.
Roger Stone claims he has “no connection, involvement & was not engaged in any of the planning for January 6 events,” and that there is “no evidence or witness to the contrary.” I guess he missed Ali Alexander’s periscope… @January6thCmte@AdamSchiff 1/

From the same Medium piece. This was posted by James O’Shaughnessy to his Instagram account on 11/28/20. O’Shaughnessy considers himself a “captain” of the Oath Keepers. 3/

The devil is in the details (even hand counting is not transparent if conducted behind closed doors), any effort to move to hand counting shld be preceded w/ test pilots, & it’s a shame MAGAs didn’t care about election security b4 spreading lies and storming the Capitol. 🥵 1/
Because they behaved so unreasonably & menacingly, everyone on the left will understandably assume that anything they suggest is unreasonable. I do not know how to fix this. 2/
To the experts, I ask this sincerely. If hand counting is so inaccurate, why do we use hand counts to resolve close elections? Why does the hand count prevail over the machine count? 3/
Wait. What? Michael Caputo was a contractor for the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, which is chaired by Ken Blackwell (of Ohio 2004 infamy) & Tad DeVine (who worked w/ Paul Manafort for Putin’s Ukrainian puppet, Viktor Yanukovych b4 joining Bernie’s campaign)?! 1/
In 2019, Roger Stone’s close associates (Jacob Engels & Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio) initiated an effort to designate anti-fascists (“Antifa”) as a terrorist organization. On 1/5/21, Trump issued a “memo” to move this ball forward. @January6thCmte@IGD_News#RogerStone 1/
