@MaxHailperin Voter registration was rare in rural areas. States required people living in large cities to jump through extra hoops like registration to preserve rural political control. Voter registration wasnโt common until after WW I.
@robertgraham On average 30% of eligible adult U.S. citizens are not registered on voter rolls and could not vote in most states. More citizens are disenfranchised than any noncitizen or ineligible voters erroneously on the voter rolls. And greater than the margin (1%) of any Trump election.
@SamThePol How many eligible citizens are not registered to vote in Maricopa county AZ? Is 10% of eligible citizens unregistered too many disenfranchised people? What is the Maricopa county register doing to ensure all US citizens can vote without hindrance?
@stephen_richer Estimated 72 million Americans that are eligible to vote but are unregistered. Single biggest cause of disenfranchised voters is non-registration obstacles. More than total number of votes Trump lost by in 2020.
@joshgerstein Article I of the constitution gives Congress (not the President) the EXCLUSIVE power over Post Offices and postal operations. Congress has exercised its power defining postal laws.
@Garrett_Archer States where the 2020 margin of victory was under 1% (37 electoral votes; all won by Biden):
Georgia, 0.23% (11,779 votes) โ 16 electoral votes
Arizona, 0.30% (10,457 votes) โ 11 electoral votes
Wisconsin, 0.63% (20,682 votes) โ 10 electoral votes
Trump still lost.
@Garrett_Archer U.S. census privacy is strictly protected by federal law under Title 13 of the U.S. Code, which makes it illegal for the Census Bureau to share individual responses with any other person, organization, or government agency with penalties of up to 5 years in prison and $250,000.
@ElectionBabe Election calls by the media are not official results.
Florida's August 19th primary election results won't be official until Thursday, August 27, 2026. https://t.co/wcQ7QZXEfx
@MaxHailperin Amish and other religious objections to SSN. Women born before 1970s often never had SSNs (only people employed outside the home). Non-citizens used to have SSNs for govt programs. Older Filipinos have SSNs from post-WWII occupation.
@jake__traylor Who was President in 2020? Who was responsible for that alleged failure to protect the nation?
Donald J Trump - Jan 20, 2017 to Jan 20, 2021.
@robertgraham Unitary Executive Theory.
The President is responsible for everything done by any part of the executive branch.
USSC said the president can fire anyone in the executive branch without needing a reason, except the Federal Reserve.
POTUS chooses not to hold them accountable.
@robertgraham Before 2020, mail ballots used to lean republican. Overseas, military, and business people who were traveling on Election Day voted GOP. GOP was strongly in favor of counting thoseโlateโ mail delivery ballots during Bush v. Gore in 2000. And then Trump made a tweet Spring 2020
@spencerpratt Over $158 Billion in scams and fraud in the U.S. annually with nearly $95 Billion using mobile phones. Companies write-off the fraud and raise consumer prices, hiding the fraud. Ballot counting is slow because of all the anti-fraud measures.
@franklinveaux AT&T can verify a credit card & address against multiple credit bureaus. AT&T does not have access to the DHS Nexus file and can not verify the information.
Showing a physical card which could be counterfeit without being able to verify the backend file is a problem.
@0xDavecryps Thirteen federal judgesโnearly a quarter of those then in officeโresigned to join the Confederacy in 1861. Most of these were U.S. district judges in Southern jurisdictions who resigned their commissions as their states seceded from the Union.
@ElectionBabe Vital Records and govt documents in the U.S. are a hodgepodge of local, state, federal offices with divergent missions spread over decades of underfunded clerks trying to make bureaucracy work.
@ElectionBabe Secret ballot imported from Australia. Itโs not in the U.S. Constitution. For almost a hundred years voting was done by publicly announcing โyourโ (white male landowners) vote on the courthouse steps.
