I wrote they’d do exactly this in a newsletter last week and I don’t know why this wasn’t bleedingly obvious to everyone with sense.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I find it useful to try to separate politics from election administration and election data

The recent @votebeat.org discussion included administrators from both parties.

And while yes, the people vulnerable to disinformation have shifted to the left, those that are pushing it claimed to be nonpartisan but have shown signs. They may be more interested in pushing right-wing theories to benefit Trump

There is in fact harm in disinformation.

Trumps EO is based on disinformation and if challenges are unsuccessful, will lead to voter disenfranchisement

Disinformation undermines trust and leads to further stress on our election workers.

I have raised my concerns. I will do it with you guys privately through chats and I'm trying to avoid further disinformation about the election in my state which only fuels Trump's EO and causes real harm to the civil servants who try to administer the elections

After Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat, Republicans used dubious arguments to say he had been cheated. Now the left is dabbling in some of those same questionable theories to claim that Kamala Harris really won last year’s election, @dgraham.bsky.social argues. https://theatln.tc/UnBklTJL

ETA has a hypothesis that a differences in the result between different methods of counting is evidence of manipulation.

They have always refused to consider the demographics in precincts clearly explain the variation. In PA they looked at mail versus election day and neglected the party bias 1/

There's a badly flawed analysis of Minnesota's 2024 election data that has recently started circulating, originating with the "Election Truth Alliance" and amplified by "Truth Will Hold" and others. Redditor kmccoy made a good start at explaining what's wrong with it, and I chimed in.

Complicating debunking this is MN does not use party registration and turnout is seemingly a fluid concept.....not a great dataset for these games (and challenging to define demographics of precincts as you already noted)

The reality is the contents of the Congress people's phones remain secret even as they continue to run for a office while hiding the full details of their involvement

..but my subtle ask is DO NOT LET THE POLTICIANS skirt their responsibility and role.

Garland/Smith didn't bother indicting them, but the press doesn't need to give them a pass

Perry still fighting to keep his phone secret......this crap still has electoral relevance
