.@VP shld request manual recounts (& ballot images) bc Rs blocked legislation that wld have required robust manual audits for federal races, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states, & bomb threats forced evacuations of election offices. But if u are spreading half-baked calculations & other nonsense, u are undermining our ability to persuade @VP to request recounts. 1/
7/ Another. Compare @Spoonamore’s “bullet ballot” claim on the left with his admission today on the right.
@Spoonamore 8/ I wrote about Republicans blocking the #SAFEAct election security bill (which @VP endorsed) and the subsequent MAGA voting system breaches here for @BucksCoBeacon. These two factors alone warrant recounts. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
9/ “State police provided a list of 32 [Pennsylvania] counties that received [hoax bomb] threats [on Election Day], though a spokesperson cautioned that it might not be comprehensive.” Here is the list. (Bucks & York did not evacuate, per the article.) 11/7/24 goerie.com/story/news/pol…
@Spoonamore @VP @BucksCoBeacon 10/ “Ten Arizona counties were targeted by … hoax bomb threats on Election Day *** Arizona AG Kris Mayes revealed Tuesday that 2/3 of Arizona’s counties — twice as many as was previously known — received bomb threats on Election Day.” 11/12/24 azmirror.com/briefs/ten-ari…
11/ “Georgia secretary of state says there were over 60 [hoax] bomb threats during election” 11/12/24 11alive.com/article/news/p…
12/ The #SAFEAct (endorsed by @VP) also would have required the removal of wireless modems from ballot scanners. Again, however, the GOP blocked it.
13/ Rs will accept no...cybersecurity standards...I pointed out that right now...u can have a voting machine w/ a[]... connection to the internet, which is the equivalent of stashing...ballots in the Kremlin. And the Rs objected &...sat down...” @RonWyden, 2/19/20 fastcompany.com/90465001/senat…

👀 Praxis is a Thiel-backed “network state” project that aims to build its own “nation”. In Nov, Praxis founder Dryden Brown wrote about wanting Greenland for Praxis. In Dec, Trump named Thiel partner Ken Howery as Denmark ambassador & said the US shld buy Greenland. Praxis & Dryden are thrilled…1/

This cautionary post is newly relevant in that some of Trump’s Tech Bros ditched Biden/Harris over plans to regulate AI. Significantly, Trump has named Jacob Helberg—an advisor to Palantir’s CEO— as his Undersecretary of State for economic growth, energy, & the environment. 1/
3/ “Helberg has already started drafting an executive order for a future Trump administration that would strip away … Biden’s AI regulations (limited as they may be).”
