I am extremely disappointed to share that last night, the omnibus budget text was released and the cut to #ElectionInfrastructure funding was significant. Congress will dedicate just $75 million — identical to last year’s appropriation.
As a Republican and fmr Director of #Elections in an urban center of a conservative, "red state", I strongly encourage the leadership of my party to put aside their partisan differences and further invest in our nations election infrastructure.
Fellow #Republicans, we cannot have it both ways! Though I do not agree with many of his policies, @POTUS proposed an adequate $400 million to support our nations elections administrators. These funds are essential to funding new, advanced voting technologies,...
enhancing cyber security for officials who lack resources, enables the hiring of additional staff (and poll workers), allows for the purchase of additional eqpmnt, and so much more. We cannot complain about the COST of elections while insisting on faster, more secure results.
Though this funding falls far short of what election officials of both parties said they need, it is essential Congress move forward with the $75 million and immediately consider additional measures to further pay for critical updates to equipment,...
protections for election administrators against threats and violence, and a long term approach to funding our nations election infrastructure moving forward. Learn more about what's in/out of the bill here: cnn.com/2022/12/20/pol… #ElectionIntegrity

Hello, my name is James. I'm a fmr Elections Admin of a large urban county, am registered @GOP, and actively work with hundreds of jurisdictions across the US. For many reasons, the past week has been difficult. If you seek truth about US elections, please keep reading.
As with most elections, I have been flooded with questions about voter fraud, vote-by-mail, voting machines, registration deadlines, etc. It is my goal for this thread to provide additional insight that you may not hear or see via traditional media outlets.
Over the past week, I've had the difficult task of explaining election administration and it's many countless processes to many of my closest friends. At least half the country is confused, inquisitive, and simply pissed off. Did my vote count? Was the "fix" in all along?
