@CletaMitchell@EIwatchdogs A review of our election system practices has revealed that the US is far behind most of the other world countries on election risk management. For example, the US is the only country reviewed that allows mail-in balloting. The Model Laws Handbook will strengthen our elections.
Back to work, after a great GA victory over Brad Raffensperger, Gabe Sterling and Chris Carr, corrupt elections architects!!!
@EIwatchdogs last week released the Model Election Laws Handbook ModelLawsHandbook.com. Here’s what Marc Elias pro-corrupt elections rag Democracy Docket wrote about the Handbook:
“Anti-voting lawyer’s election denial network releases new blueprint to severely restrict voting
The Election Integrity Network (EIN) — the anti-voting group led by Cleta Mitchell, the far-right lawyer who played a key role in Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election — released a sweeping new handbook last week that urges lawmakers and election officials to severely restrict mail-in voting, eliminate same-day voter registration, impose rigorous ID requirements, conduct mass voter challenges and empower officials to deny and delay certification.
These are long-standing goals of EIN, but the handbook marks a dangerous escalation from one of the most influential election denial operations in right-wing politics.
•The handbook’s proposals are rooted in the same distrust of elections and conspiracy-laden claims about fraud, noncitizen voting and corrupt election officials that have animated the GOP’s anti-voting push since 2020.
•One of the most alarming proposals would redefine election certification — the formal step where officials sign off on election results — as a discretionary act. Translation: Officials could claim they have the power to refuse or delay certification if they say they have unresolved concerns.
•The handbook also calls for limiting early voting to no longer than seven days, restoring Election Day as the main voting period, and repealing no-excuse absentee voting. All are policies that could disenfranchise large numbers of voters.
•“What has become clear is that those who oppose election integrity really want corruption of our elections,” Mitchell wrote in a letter accompanying the handbook. “Ours is a binary choice when it comes to election policy: choose either election integrity vs. corrupt, inaccurate, and insecure elections.”
And there you have it. EIN supports honest elections. And the laws that make them reality. And Marc Elias hates that.
