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?!
4/ I’m not equipped to know how serious this is. But @cklaus1 seems to think it is. He’s the founder of Internet Security Systems, which he sold to IBM for $1.3 billion in 2006.
@cklaus1 7/ PS. As someone who has done election security related public records requests, it blows my mind that counties supposedly just handed over backups of their voting system databases in response to a records request. This is, I believe, highly atypical.
@cklaus1 8/ PPS. I have called out some of the viral misinformation about this election. (See below) But the report in post 1 is different in that it includes an admission by MAGAs themselves that more counties than we knew of previously gave MAGAs voting system database backups.
@cklaus1 15/ ICYMI, it was @MarilynRMarks1 who discovered the voting system breach in Coffee County, GA. Not the GA Secretary of State. Not Fani Willis. It was Marilyn. Thread. 👇
Terrific post by @LuluFriesdat of @Smart_elections —which seeks a hand recount of the presidential election in Rockland County, NY—in which they correct those who have wrongly suggested that Smart Elections’ legitimate concerns & findings thus far amount to “proof” that the election was rigged for Trump.
THIS is what credible election integrity messaging looks like: “Are we concerned about all the software updates they released? You bet we are. Can we say conclusively that there was some kind of malware in those updates that changed vote totals? No we cannot. That’s why we’re in court. To get that kind of information.”

Those of you who have followed me for years know that I spent about four years of my life focusing on election security. (See my article below.) 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
3/ After the Big Lie, I felt that the movement had been so discredited—by people improperly conflating vulnerabilities with “proof” of fraud & then using that non-existent “proof” to justify violence—that I could no longer effectively advance this ball.
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
