“Purported persona,” Batman.

James Corden personally debunked a false claim, promoted by the RNC and the president, that Joe Biden relied on a teleprompter on James Corden's late-night show. And then the Trump campaign turned it into an entire swing-state ad campaign. With @donie: cnn.com/2020/09/24/pol…

I've described the months of rampant, extraordinary cheating we've seen Trump attempt, and pull off, as an electoral crime spree. What's going on here just has become an issue in the campaign - it's literally unbelievable. gen.medium.com/the-trump-camp…

@Elaijuh @Committeeof70 Concur. Same experience. It’s as if it’s designed to generate invalidated votes.

A lot of comments/replies have been about how easy it is to know to use the secrecy envelope. A child could do it; it’s not rocket science; how dumb do you have to be; etc. Here’s part of an email a Penn professor sent me shortly after my story published yesterday:

So-called naked ballots could be really important in Pennsylvania this election. Tens of thousands of votes could be rejected. BUT it’s hard to know what to expect, because we don’t have good data. Here’s what you need to know about secrecy envelopes: inquirer.com/politics/elect…

BIG UPDATE: Today, the board voted to open 7 of the originally proposed satellite election locations on 9/29 (listed below), while also voting to open the other 10 locations on a rolling basis, as the staffing becomes available. This plan was made after much consideration.

Wow. Important piece for anyone who cares about the future of work and equity in Philly.

“ICE is tapping deeper data wells to ID people for deportation. That’s possible in large part due to Palantir Technologies, Silicon Valley start-up going public 9/29 in biggest tech stock listing since Uber. Palantir is final layer of ICE’s vast surveillance/data sharing network”

2/ Palantir wrote the final layer of code facilitating countless deportations - and Trump's first systematic family separations. When confronted, Palantir's CEO has made demonstrably false denials. He has lied. Their stock goes on sale Tuesday as if none of this had happened.
