Deciding not to take reasonable steps to prevent the spread of a contagious disease reflects a reckless disregard for the health and safety of others.

I think we can now call it an attempted coup.

A worthy reminder for all constitutional officers:

“We are unique among militaries,” said Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. “We do not take an oath to a king or a queen, a tyrant or a dictator. We do not take an oath to an individual.”

If we all behave, then we can have nice things.

Yesterday, the United States reported a record number of new coronavirus cases. Doctors and nurses continue to be overwhelmed with all-time high hospitalizations. Please—wear a mask.

Stacey Abrams played an absolutely ENORMOUS role in Georgia turning blue. She has become one of the biggest civil and voting rights advocates in the country and helped register about 800,000 new voters. Give this Black woman the credit she deserves!

@maddow verb tense matters. Please stop talking about counting votes cast days or weeks ago as if there is a horse race in the present. Nobody is closing gaps or catching up. No races are narrowing. We are just counting to find out what has already happened.

@NPR please stop talking about counting votes cast days or weeks ago as if it is a horse race in the present. Nobody is closing gaps or catching up. We are just counting to find out what has already happened.

@KamalaHarris @JoeBiden You already have. You won at the close of polls on Tuesday. Nothing has changed since then except what we know about what has already happened.

[David Gray @CrimProfessor]

@steve_vladeck And that total was set by Tuesday evening. The results of the election have been determined for over 36 hours.

@Susan_Hennessey In truth it is not even taking a long time. The states everyone is watching closely are not outliers in this election or any other. California is only at about 75% of votes counted and election officials routinely take weeks before certifying results.

@GenMhayden Catching you in Lincoln Project podcast. Great to hear you again.

[Keith Edwards @keithedwards]

This is amazing.

We need so much more of this.

Election got you nervous?
Register to be a poll worker! There’s a desperate need. Many poll workers are seniors at risk for COVID. They’ll stay home & polls will close.
Sign up here to keep polls open: https://t.co/DQeuYGNrhz. And please share!

Bribery: Corrupt solicitation, acceptance, or transfer of value in exchange for official action.

@OrinKerr Last one, b/c I'm procrastinating, but "secure in persons, houses, papers, and effects" resolves much of this. And at any rate NOBODY then or now whose mind has not been polluted by a semester of crim pro would define search as gov't violation of a SM & REOP.

[David Gray @CrimProfessor]

@OrinKerr Free from restraint.
