Our democracy & our freedom are at risk & under attack. Regardless of your political persuasion, watch @Liz_Cheney@ReverendWarnock & read @Reuters story about attacks on election officials & @AP story about election fraud. This is a moment to protect our children’s future.
The Capitol attack, attacks against election officials, the lies & conspiracies about the election process are an attack on our democracy, our freedom, & ALL of us. It doesn’t matter what your partisan persuasion is, this is a coordinated attack on our ability to choose leaders.
✅California’s voting system standards & testing requirements are some of the strongest in the nation.
✅ CA requires voter-verified paper ballots. Ballots are optically scanned & digitally counted. The counts are verified through post-election audits.
✅ Every county must select a subset of their ballots (1% of their precincts) at random & tally the votes on those ballots, then compare them to the software-counted votes to verify they match. This is a public process that anyone can observe upon request. #CARecall

There are numerous inaccuracies here @BreibartNews. None of this indicates fraud & is instead a distortion of facts & data to create confusion & misinfo. Here is what your ‘interview’ w/ Mr. Adams gets wrong. 1/10

State policies vary which means some have more accurate data than others. As an ex, if a state has failed to adopt AVR (like TX) or doesn’t use NCOA proactively, states will not know a voter moved until a ballot is undeliverable. But guess what - there are safeguards. 2/10
1. It is not new that election results are not final on election night. There is a certification process, provisional ballots to process, audits, & extra time for military & overseas ballots to be counted.
2. The desire to call an election to make the 10 pm news on the east coast has always been a problem & ignores a giant portion of the population still voting in western states & completely ignores AK & HI who have hours left. Let voters vote without being influenced by the news.
