Donald Trump, True the Vote and other Trump-supporting far-right groups are spreading lies about non-citizen voting ahead of the 2024 election, setting themselves up to declare mass fraud if things don’t go how they want in the fall. #GOPFraud#ElectionFraud#GOP#NoRepublicansEverAgain
I just want to say how wonderful everyone is here and express special gratitude to @GottaLaff for her unbelievable work keeping us up to the minute on the #electionfraud trial in NYC. What a tremendous service you’re providing, @GottaLaff! Thank you thank you thank you!
#FarRight#Arizona "#electionIntegrity" zealot, #AustinSmith, has based his entire identity on outrage over nonexistent #electionFraud. He wants a system where the electorate is comprised exclusively of white, #Christian, conservative men, just as #Jesus intended. So you might be surprised to learn that he's just been caught forging hundreds of signatures on his petition to run for state office.
#MikePillow is continuing to wage his sad war against "all machines" even as his once mighty pillow empire crumbles around him. Mike absolutely hates the idea of electronic #voteTabulators, and wants the anticipated 80+ million voters to cast #paperBallots that are counted by hand. What he wants is truly insane, and would result in elections we never learn the real result of. And that's exactly the point.
Georgia GOP Official Voted Illegally Nine Times. Fucking GOP.
“A judge ruled Wednesday that the Georgia Republican Party’s first vice chairman, Brian Pritchard, violated state election laws when he voted nine times while serving probation for a felony check forgery sentence,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

This is absolute paranoia. Nadezhdin might have got 5-10% of votes but his candidacy was refused [2]. The most popular validated candidate, Davankov, might have got 5-10% [2]. And yet the electoral bureaucracy blatantly falsified the results.
I just got back from being the Democratic observer at a "Risk Limiting Audit."
Here in Georgia, the Dominion scanners read either the mail-in ballot or the machine-printed ballot that is created when you use the machine to select your votes in person. The scanners read a QR-style barcode, but there's also a plain-text summary of the person's vote for every race printed on it.
But how do we know the scanners are reading the mail-in ballots correctly, or that the QR code actually matches the voter's picks? That's what this audit is for. The state generates random numbers that are then used for every county in Georgia to pick a few batches - the in-person votes from a specific precinct, or a specific 100-vote group of the mail-ins, or one of the bundles of early votes. While it doesn't show in the public results, the state keeps a record of the results from EACH batch as it was reported by the machines on or after Election Day.
So on Audit Day, each county pulls out those randomly selected batches, puts each batch on a table with two paid election workers, and they hand-count them. They use their human eyes to read the printed text, ignoring the barcode, or they visually count the check marks on the mail-in ballots. Those human-generated results are then checked against the machine-generated results, and we see if they match.
So next time you hear someone talking about the machines changing the vote, or wondering about those QR codes, or whatever, let 'em know - there really are humans going back and double-checking this stuff. And not just one human - there's two at each table, and election supervisors organizing it, and partisan observers sitting there keeping an eye on the process. And this is just ONE of the many checks and precautions. Other states have different procedures, but they're all careful and thorough. Election fraud is HARD, y'all - and that's why there's so little of it.
Canada: Been there, done that!
In the 2011 federal election, Pierre Poutine uploaded a #robocall purporting to come from the phone of Guelph Lib MP Frank Valeriote that was never sent out.
When Valeriote was later played back the call, he couldn't at first tell it wasn't actually his own voice. #electionfraud#cdnpoli
Wait, so if you turn up at a polling station as a young person on polling day with photo ID (like a young person's railcard) but it's not the right ID, you're a fraud risk and can't vote, say the Tories.
But anyone else who may or may not be British or indeed exist can register to vote and can vote by proxy, four proxies to one UK resident, "on the word of an eligible British resident" that they're eligible, in their choice of marginal constituency. WTAF?
The people who spent a year bitching about bamboo fibers, and secret Italian satellites were more than happy to cast their Iowa caucus vote by tossing their ballot into grocery sacks from the store down the street. These are definitely the people we want to put in charge of our nation's elections. 🙄
Trump got $7.8 MILLION from 20 foreign governments while in office. China tops list with $5.5M at his hotels while Saudi Arabia and Qatar
The transactions are detailed in a 156-page report The 'White House For Sale'.
Other foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Malaysia also did business through four Trump entities, according to the report. The report says the foreign payments uncovered are 'likely only a fraction of the total amount of foreign payments he received during his presidency.
trump took in $7.8 million from foreign entities in 20 countries, payments to his businesses that violate a Constitutional prohibition on accepting funding from foreign governments.
The volume of #foreign payments detailed in one of the most exhaustive reviews of Trump’s business dealings with foreign governments while in office. 🚨
Wisconsin’s 10 fake Republican electors ADMITTED that their actions were part of an improper attempt to overturn the 2020 election; Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu MUST REMOVE fake elector Robert F. Spindell, Jr. from the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Thanks to Spindell and his fellow fake electors, Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election very nearly succeeded in Wisconsin.
