Election law expert @beckerdavidj looks at the stakes in this election. It's not a question of red or blue, but right or wrong, democracy sustained or democracy lost. Listen to "This Critical Moment," episode 5 of THE COUNT with David Becker. Listen:

Our system isn't broken. @maricopacounty is counting ballots faster than ever and on pace with every other state. Arizona law requires processes that dictate the timing by which we count the ballots. More importantly: I'll take accuracy and security over speed every time.
Our system is broken

95+% of all US voters vote on audited, verified paper. 100% of swing state voters vote on audited, verified paper. Musk doesn’t have the slightest idea how elections work, and he’s clearly not interested in learning.
Absolutely

One strategy to build confidence in elections? “They can become a poll worker. They can become a poll observer. They can watch the audits of the voting equipment,” Wolfe told VOA.” All of that is open for [the] public to view.” https://t.co/QwkdeENHe8

I hope readers of Gateway Pundit are mad they’ve been lied to. Over and over again.
News: Gateway Pundit has posted a statement on its website acknowledging there was no voter fraud in Georgia in 2020 and Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss were cleared of wrongdoing. Comes after the two women settled with the site this week https://t.co/5sYeiuhDCp

A new report from researchers at @BPC_Bipartisan & @UCLA finds that despite higher turnover, current election officials bring significant experience to their roles and are often prepared to take them on or get up to speed quickly. https://t.co/PxrvPddemD

The rate of turnover among chief election officials has increased continuously since 2020. That doesn’t mean the workforce now in place lacks experience, according to a recent report.

Election attorney Ben Ginsberg joined fellow conservatives in co-authoring a report that examined 2020 election lawsuits. “The evidence to back up the allegations of fraud and elections being unreliable simply does not exist,” he says. https://t.co/jL2jUna3K7

Hi @grassrootarmy and @biggertruth! 👋 Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum here! Saw your video and, woof, there is so much inaccuracy here I may exceed the thread limit. But let’s see. 🧵
Are they registering illegals to vote? In Michigan, if you question the integrity of the election, you might get in trouble. We must make this too big to rig! Overwhelm them with voter turnout. #BananaRepublic @BiggerTruth

After the debate and the recent polls, we’re likely to see a significant increase in dangerous election lies and disinfo in the next few weeks, from foreign adversaries, Trump’s campaign, and his allies, including the owner of this platform. Remember to seek out only OFFICIAL

Hi @MikeRogersforMI 👋 Ingham County Clerk Barb Byrum here! I see you misinforming Michigan residents about our Voter ID laws in the State of Michigan and I need to set the record straight here. 🧵
On Newsmax, Michigan GOP Senate nominee Mike Rogers mischaracterizes the state's voting process, saying those without photo IDs "can sign a piece of paper that said, 'No, gee whiz, I really am 'fill in the blank.''" Those voters have to sign a legally binding affidavit in order

A "lack of understanding" certainly sums it all up. "In Georgia, state officials said the Schlapp letter reflected a lack of understanding of Georgia election law, which already requires counties to install drop boxes inside election offices..." https://t.co/EUGKgD3wS0

The euphoric mood at the Democratic National Convention this week came alongside growing concern that the former president’s backers could attempt to undermine the outcome.

As false information about elections continues to spread, many school leaders in Maricopa County have closed their doors to the democratic process.

Amen. Thanks, @stephen_richer!
“@stephen_richer has taken as much abuse and harassment as almost any election official in the country and responded with grace and transparency and humor,” Becker said. “He’s the reason people like me do the work we do.”

Thank you for your service to democracy, your humor, and your humility, @stephen_richer. You've shown the nation how public service and election administration *should* be done - with decency and respect for the law and without nasty partisan rancor and unfounded bullshit.
It's been a privilege. Thank you. Elections have winners and, sadly, losers. And in this one, it looks like I'm going to end up on the losing side of the column. But that's the name of the game. Accept it. Move on. Congratulations to @azjustinheap on winning the primary

This is the story that needs the nation's attention now and for the next 100+ days - we *must* insist our election boards across the country uphold their legally mandated duties. https://t.co/W3jlQaO0bg
