As we celebrate National Poll Worker Recruitment Day today, poll workers' service is more vital than ever.

One of the best ways to learn about why our elections are secure is to become a part of them, CEIR Executive Director @beckerdavidj.bsky.social said.

Happy National Poll Worker Recruitment Day! Today, CEIR honors those who make our elections possible.

"I encourage all of you to serve your communities and volunteer to be a poll worker." -CEIR Executive Director @beckerdavidj.bsky.social

So after years of bluster, incl yesterday on the courthouse steps, Lindell joins the long list of others (Giuliani, Lake, Fox News) who, when offered the chance to present evidence - in court - of their claims of alleged election fraud, conceded and ran away.

“The ability of the DOJ to enforce laws that protect the American people from discrimination, from fraud, from illegal activity, is being decimated,” said David Becker of @electioninnov.bsky.social, who worked in the DOJ under Presidents Clinton and W. Bush.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly: "Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States—not the President—with the authority to regulate federal elections. And no statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order."

Trump's unconstitutional power grab over states' authority to manage elections will almost certainly be blocked by the courts, but in the unlikely event it isn't, “It will create chaos in the states, and it seems almost designed to create chaos.”

This is entirely normal, and a best practice. Under fed'l law, inactive registrations can be canceled if there's no activity for the next fed'l gen'l elections.

And "ERIC identified 255,000 of those registrations [to cancel] for Georgia election officials."

In reality, our complex elections are more verifiable and secure than ever, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of public servants, of both parties, that run them. Rather than listen to this nonsense, go thank an election official for facilitating our voices in our democracy.

While Trump seeks to end birthright citizenship, besides the question of whether it's legal (it's not), another key question to ask is how can any US-born citizen proven citizenship if a US birth certificate isn't enough? /1

"Foreign adversaries, particularly China, Russia and Iran, continually attempt to influence our elections," said Becker, who added that the Trump administration has "unilaterally disarmed" in that international struggle. "I'm sure leaders in Moscow and Tehran and Beijing are celebrating."

Two individuals, both former officials who were being considered for positions within the intelligence community, were asked to give “yes” or “no” responses to the questions: Was Jan. 6 “an inside job?” And was the 2020 presidential election “stolen?”

On this day 4 years ago, an angry and armed mob, incited by the losing presidential candidate, attacked the Capitol of the United States, threatening to kill the VP and members of Congress, and overturn the results of a clear and verified election. History cannot be rewritten about this fact. /1

"We know who won the elections, thanks to paper ballots, audits, and more litigation than any election in world history. In dozens of court cases, losing candidates couldn't produce a single piece of evidence that raised any question about the election outcome."

An important thread from CEIR Executive Director @beckerdavidj.bsky.social on claims of "missing ballots."

Over 1000 days after the 2020 presidential election, nobody has produced any evidence to any court or law enforcement agency proving election fraud allegations. There are a few reports about the security and integrity of that are worth checking out.
