I’m reading about the Tina Peters case and, wow, was she malfeasant.
Republican Tina Peters turned off the security cameras where the voting machines were stored, let unknown people use an employee’s security badge to access them, and the machines’ BIOS passwords were later posted to Telegram!
This republican let bad actors access the voting machines for the purpose of compromising (hacking) them.
It’s interesting how many of republicans are themselves willing to commit election fraud.

#Employers added 254,000 #jobs in Sept, reflecting a much stronger than expected #labor gains as #election nears.
The #unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1%, acc/to jobs data released Fri by the Labor Dept.
The last 6 months of steady job growth is enough to keep the labor market firmly OUT of #recession territory, economists say, especially as #GDP #growth remains hardy & #consumers continue to spend.

#Trump intentionally lied to the public, state election ofcls, & his own VP in an effort to cling to #power after losing the #election, while privately describing some of the claims of election fraud as "#crazy," prosecutors alleged in the 165-pg filing.

“The defendant asserts that he is immune from prosecution for his #criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential #election because, he claims, it entailed official conduct. Not so.
...his scheme was fundamentally a private one
...he pursued multiple criminal means to disrupt, through #fraud and #deceit, the government function by which votes are collected and counted—a function in which the defendant, as President, had no official role”

I got a screenshot before it was wiped. JD is hiding his evil plan for Women and Girls of America.
This was on JD Vance's Senate campaign website *until yesterday* when his campaign tried to hide his support and demand for a national abortion ban.
Fellow Americans, we need everyone to vote.

#JDVance had heard enough.
“It’s really rich,” he said, chopping the air w/his hands, “for Democratic leaders to say that Donald #Trump is a unique threat to #democracy when he peacefully gave over power on January the 20th.”
He moved to equate past Democratic complaints about #election outcomes, including invocations of Russian interference in 2016 through FB ads & other means, w/the response in 2020.

He was a teacher, he noted, & a football coach.
“I worked wi/kids long enough to know,” he said, “sometimes you really want to win.”
But #Republicans like #Trump were already laying the groundwork to contest the current #election, he continued, & perhaps even to #imprison their political opponents.
“A president’s words matter,” #TimWalz said, punctuating his own. “A president’s words matter. People hear that.”

“We need to tell the story,” #TimWalz said. “I mean, he lost this #election & he said he didn’t.”
Walz often speaks w/a how’d-I-even-get-here feint toward political humility….
At his most effective, he is a kind of Labrador retriever of a communicator: affable, game, just happy to be there….
On Tues, after some dissembling earlier in the #debate — …Walz made a bid for the high ground, summoning more compelling details from his biography.
For all their occasional paeans to #civility on Tues, this was the moment that crystallized an unshakable truth about this #election: One side still refuses to acknowledge the #truth about the last one — the persistent falsehood that has come to define so much of the era’s fragile & rampaging #politics.

Divorced Men Are Falling for #TFG. “He says the system has screwed you over, & the only way to fix the system is to burn it down.”
Divens describes the end of his marriage as: “largest failure of my life -process may have driven him away from his community, but it drove him closer to TFG.
TFG's made inroads with young male voters, fueling a historic 51% polling gap b/w Gen-Z women & men -pull may actually be strongest with divorcés.
