Here's a gift link for the WaPo story on the latest indictment: https://wapo.st/3qnummx
I'm frankly relieved to see the specific focus on indicting the folks harassing election workers; the Ruby Freeman case has been haunting me (cf https://www.niemanlab.org/2020/12/we-need-to-learn-how-to-talk-to-and-about-accidental-conspiracists/ )

“The Electoral Commission’s spokesperson told TechCrunch that the incident, which saw hackers access the Commission’s email, control systems, and copies of the electoral registers, may have affected as many as 40 million U.K. voters. This includes anyone who registered to vote between 2014 and 2022, as well as the names of those registered as overseas voters.”

The briefing came the day after a congressional meeting, where Shelby Pierson, the head of #ElectionSecurity for the #ODNI, told members of the House #Intelligence Cmte that #Russia preferred #Trump in the #2020election.
…That meeting led to Trump firing his acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, & replacing him w/Richard Grenell, a loyalist.

"Are the feds ignoring Trump allies’ multi-state effort to access election systems? Experts raise alarms for 2024" by Sarah D. Wire @sarahdwire Los Angeles Times, March 9, 2023
@JDS There are people out there (mostly #Democrats) who won’t believe anything from #heritage #foundation #heritagefoundation #voting #electionfraud #fraud #electionsecurity

A bipartisan, multistate effort set up to thwart potential cases of #VoterFraud is under attack after #conspiracy-driven claims questioned its funding/purpose. Some, but not all, #Republican-led states are considering leaving #ERIC (Electronic Registration Information Center).
Of those surveyed, election offices in 23 states & DC said they had no intention of leaving, including 8 led or controlled by #Republicans.

#Michigan #legislation to ban guns from coming within 100 feet of polling locations and ballot counting centers got a hearing Tuesday before the state House Elections Committee.

Arizona's former attorney general [Mark Brnovich] concealed records debunking election fraud claims according to newly released documents. State investigators prepared a report in March 2022 stating that virtually all claims of error and malfeasance were unfounded. Brnovich left office last month without ever releasing the report.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/22/arizona-election-fraud-claims-mark-brnovich/
Brnovich appeared on The Problem with Jon Stewart in October 2022 where he refused to acknowledge that the 2020 election in Arizona was not fraudulent or stolen from Donald Trump.

And to conclude, I’ll just point to a well respected #electionsecurity #expert, @jennycohn, who #alerted us on the more than #ambiguous role #FBI #Wray played there.
To read more on what looks like a #coverup, back to the bird site again, with this #informative thread on #Florida #2016election.
It was #BreakingNews then.

A Prince William County judge threw out a pair of lawsuits Republican activists filed seeking to undo the certification of the county’s midterm election results. “At some point we need to trust that the people we put in place to do these things are doing them,” the judge said.

We need to do everything we can to fix the Electoral Count Act of 1887 before the GOP takes control of the House. If the holes Trump (and his seditionist cronies) tried to drive through aren’t plugged, the threat to our democracy still exists (just look at those nuts in Cochise County, Arizona, who are refusing to certify the election results). Call and e-mail your Congress people. This needs to get done…fast. #electionsecurity #ProtectYourVote
