Mike Caulfield

The "more votes then voters" claim is the perfect example of why election denying fan fiction writers were never serious in the first place. It's one of the oldest and easiest to debunk but it's been allowed to fester for years.

Tuesday August 29th, 2023, Muskingum County Board of Elections performed their hand count audit with 100% accuracy of the August 8th, 2023, special election.

This week, our elections team took part in @CISAgov's election security tabletop exercise with Homeland Security, election security partners and county election officials. Thanks to our election workers and partners, Nebraska's elections are secure and accurate at every level.

US-style #biglie election conspiracies 👎👎 US-style risk-limiting audits for tabulators 👍 👍 factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com.33…

Given the total lack of accountability around *all* of the lying after 2020, this abrupt end feels especially shocking. Expecting a corporation to carry on a fight for accountability to the public is, in fairness, silly.

@mkolken @davidhogg111 At 21 injuries a month it will only take two years to equal injuries and deaths on the single night of the Las Vegas Shooting.

Stabbings have never been worse or more brutal, police say, as Australian hospitals struggle to cope with an emerging 'knife culture' amongst young men. The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne told Daily Mail Australia it had seen a 50 per cent spike in 'life threatening stab wounds' since December compared to the same period a year ago. On average 21 people, usually men aged between 25 and 40, were being admitted with serious stab wounds each month, it said. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

Gun laws don’t work? Why hasn’t Australia had a school shooting since 2012? How about the UK which was 1996? Last I checked they don’t have armed teachers in every school or allow guns on campus. Pretty sure they also have bad guys and doors and mentally ill people too.

@AbrahamHamadeh I checked into this. He enrolled in another county, so he was automatically unenrolled in Maricopa County.

There’s an important story to be told about how innocent public servants — whether librarians or election officials or nurses — are terrorized for doing their jobs.

This level of mastery is mind-blowing. Whenever I think I’m getting good at something, I watch this.

The message Jimmy Carter left in Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object from Earth, is breathtaking.

This is all so sad. So many people are so thoroughly convinced of a stolen election that never was. I'm under no illusion that anyone will change their tune. We seem to be hardwired to justify our positions no matter what. It would be nice to move on though.

People have asked if there are any useful changes Musk has introduced. I think this one -- notifications on updated information about tweets shared is legitimate progress, and something I've argued for for a long time.

Didn't see it happen. By the way I met someone at the tippy top of the Lake campaign last night. They were very complimentary, saying I was basically in the war room on election night. You're welcome. They also had no idea why the war room account goes after me the way it does.

Since Linda Ronstadt is trending I'll just mention she recorded this song in one take after one run through and though she dislikes her singing on it somehow no one has been able to do it better youtube.com/watch?v=w9qsDg…

*screams in magical ballot fairy* Unless you used glitter pen, grease pencil, or a red or non-photo blue colored pencil or marker, chances are pretty high that a tabulator can read the marks on your ballot w/o clogging up or jamming.

@CTIronman @ElectionBabe This was a good book on the subject -- if a little frightening. amazon.com/How-Civil-Wars…

@CTIronman @ElectionBabe I think this is one of the problems, is when people say Civil War they think 1776 or 1861 so it seems improbable. But the Troubles is a better framework for understanding how bad things can get for a very long time in a modern conflict of this sort.

Some of you are a little too enthusiastic about any prospects of civil war in the US. We are damn lucky that although many of our politicians are dysfunctional, the bones of our system are good enough to hold things together for this long. Don’t take that for granted.
