You are responsible for the foreseeable consequences of your actions; if you shoot a gun up in the air, you are responsible if it hits someone Twice in five elections, historically-disastrous Republicans won with fewer votes, and a surge in Green Party votes made the difference

The story of this election is the media coverage letting voters continue to believe a booming economy was poor because of a temporary spike in inflation
Roughly *67%* of voters rated the economy as "not so good/poor," per Washington Post exit polls A shockingly poor number amid a hot labor market, booming stocks, much lower inflation, growing GDP But widespread voter dissatisfaction w/ the economy been clear for years

Has a single national Republican gone on TV to demand Russia stop making bomb threats at polling places in Democratic districts? Because that seems like it should be a story...
Russia is actively interfering in our elections on behalf of Trump.

Neither Trump, Vance, or any member of the national GOP leadership has gone on TV today to demand Russia stop making bomb threats to voting places in Democratic districts The media should care about this
Russia calling in bomb threats to polling places in liberal districts across the country should be bigger news right now. They’re interfering for Trump right in the open, right in front of our faces

Tomorrow we need to have a national discussion about Russia attacking American elections with the purpose of helping Trump win And people like @mittromney and @lisamurkowski don't get to sit it out.
MSNBC is reporting that the FBI is investigating multiple FAKE bomb threats that have been made to polling locations in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin all attributed to Russia. DON’T LET THEM SCARE YOU! There are no bombs! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

The DeSantis political project was to turn Florida back into the Deep South, Confederate and Jim Crow state it was for most of its history, and use that to launch a presidential campaign The first part was a success.

There needs to be some response for the fact Russia is making bomb threats to help Trump win
County election offices across Pennsylvania are receiving bomb threats tonight — and it’s forcing officials to take ballots off-site to count. Expect major delays in Election Day results. Behind it? Russian agents trying to sow chaos in our elections. inquirer.com/politics/electi…

And the fact #JDVance said America should be neutral between democratic Ukraine and the Russian dictatorship that has been helping Republicans in elections for a decade now should result in more than a shrug from our media and law enforcement
The biggest story of the night is Russia calling multiple bomb threats into Democratic strongholds across the country. This should shock every American to the core.

"Just another way Russia is trying to help Trump, who promises friendship with Russia..." The way Trump was able to scare our entire media away from covering the help he gets from Russia with a Bill Barr summary and saying "Russia, Russia, Russia," is genuinely amazing

The fact that we just accept that one party doesn't need to win more votes, but only needs to squeak out a victory in the right few places while the other needs to win by 4% points, is what is a stain on America If all Americans votes counted the same, Trump would never win

We are absolutely going to need something besides signatures as identity verification from now on
Nevada’s secretary of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says one of the biggest issues is that the signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses: “It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.” nytimes.com/live/2024/11/05/…

This should be prosecuted as voter suppression Trump is trying to scare black people away from the polls in Detroit and Philadelphia
From CNN’s @MarshallCohen and @YahyaGhazala: Detroit mayor’s office says they don’t know what Trump is talking about; spokesman for Detroit elections department says, “We are unaware of any police presence in the city for elections beyond what was outlined in a press conference last Thursday and widely reported nationally.”

This is @DrPhil covering, but the it is truly amazing how many rich men really seem to think, "I joined up with the fascists because the Democrats didn't invite me places," is a defensible position

Trump should go to prison just for this attempt at voter suppression
There is absolutely no truth to this allegation. It is yet another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure.

Creating conditions where people have to wait four hours to vote is voter suppression
There is currently a 4-hour line to vote on App State’s campus in Boone, North Carolina. Polls close in just over 3 hours.

Exit polls are useless and should genuinely be stopped by media Not only are they wrong on the day, which is dangerous in our current environment, they create false narratives that can last for years after voter file information tells us what really happened
OMG. 42% of Hispanic voters would be an all-time high for the @GOP in a Presidential election. 🤯

Genuinely amazing how little the White South has changed in 160 years
Source in Georgia says yet more bomb threats coming into heavily black polling stations there.

"I became a Nazi because Democrats didn't invite me places," is a surprisingly common sentiment among rich white men...
Dr. Phil tells Piers Morgan he gave speech at Trump’s rally as an “act of rebellion” because Kamala Harris snubbed him: “That was an act of rebellion on my part. I requested 25-plus times to speak to Kamala Harris, I offered to give the identical speech at a Harris rally.”

Remember that #JDVance said America should be neutral between democratic Ukraine and the authoritarian Russia trying to disrupt our elections today Of course, it's because he knows Russia is trying to disrupt our elections in his favor
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says the non-credible threats that briefly disrupted voting at two Georgia polling places originated from Russia. “We identified the source; it was from Russia," he says.
