.@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…

Surprise, surprise. At Princeton, Pete Hegseth studied under Robert George, a close associate of SCOTUS puppet master Leonard Leo. The two of them apparently remained in touch. 1/ dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/1…
😳 Tech billionaire Marc Andreessen is reportedly getting involved w/ DOGE. He’s also invested in the “network state” movement led by Balaji Srinivasan, which aims 2 build crypto-based countries w/in existing states via the creation of “parallel institutions” like X. Listen. 1/
This is maddening. Speaking of the 2004 election in Ohio, John Kerry told Brian Lehrer in 2018 that “The problem for us was we were doubting whether the [voting] machines themselves had been appropriately measured & whether the algorithms were correct, etc. We challenged that ahead of time by the way. People don’t know that. And we were told by the court that we were not able to get that algorithm, to check it, bc it was proprietary information.
And I believe that it was absolutely incorrect that in the United States of America, the election for the presidency of the United States should somehow be the purview of privately owned machines where the public doesn’t have the right to know whether the algorithms can be checked or whether they are hackable or not. And we now know they are hackable.
But we knew as we sat there to decide where to go in terms of the challenge, that we were a nation at war, we had just been through a Supreme Court test of an election four years earlier. I thought once I measured it that whatever constitutional challenge we brought or whatever appropriate challenge we brought to the ballots that were counted, it was going to wind up ultimately in the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court would do the same thing that it did before. We would take the country through a three month exercise with a 5/4 decision that would award the presidency back to George Bush.
Now some people may think that’s the right thing to have done. I thought it would have been horrendous for our country one year into a war, at that moment when there were serious doubts about terrorism and other things, to be going through a long period of questioning of the presidency, and I didn’t think it was the right thing to do for the nation.” 1/ @VP @marceelias
This election was not as close as 2016. But unlike 2016, we know that MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states b4 the 2024 election. Yes, I think Ds will concede w/o seeking recounts, even if they have doubts. I think that’s what they did in 2016. 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…

WTAF?! Four Georgia counties supposedly gave Garland Favorito backups of their Dominion voting system databases before the 2024 election?! And MAGAs also imply that they have analyzed Dominion databases in AZ, NM, & MI & claim to have found a “hard-coded globally used password” to all of these systems, which they published in a report, also before the election? And MAGAs then pranced around with the password on teeshirts, again before the election?! @marceelias @vp #gapol 1/ ballotassure.com/Reports/Securi…
2/ Honestly, WTH?!
3/ You can even buy Dominion password teeshirts on Amazon. This is insanely brazen. Where the f#ck was the media?!
Dear @VP: You once wrote that, “It is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we “can’t afford to be naive.” As you know, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states & Rs blocked the #SAFEAct, which wld have required rigorous manual audits for federal races. Why have you NOT requested manual recounts or at least ballot images? 1/
