thisfinecrew | Action: Call Your Congresscritters: #AuditTheVote (Reply)

image text: two Nov 17 tweets from the #AuditTheVote hashtag.

MarkDice, a verified account: Careful what you wish for Liberals. If we #AuditTheVote then Hillary will lose a few million after the dead and illegal ones are tossed out.

JonBFanForum: Trumpsters seem to think #AuditTheVote will uncover "massive" Dem voter fraud. Okay, then, I'm willing to look under that rock. Are you?

I am perfectly happy to get on board the "Clinton unexpectedly lost every swing state by a narrow margin—let's make sure all those losses are honest, given the voting law currently in play" train. Especially in context of the "Russia hacked our election" rumor (I mean, it might be just a rumor? but let's check), and the Cheeto* University fraud case that the Cheeto just settled, and the conflict-of-interest bullshit, and need I go on.

Call your Congresscritters: house.gov and senate.gov will both direct you to the appropriate phone numbers. Email might work, too, but I imagine by now we've all seen the tweet thread screenshot where a former Congressional staffer says calls are the thing most likely to work. (Sucks to be spoon-deprived and massively anxious about phones.)

(Unfortunately, auditing the vote isn't going to restore voting rights to the millions of people denied same this year because of the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act. But it might be worth making noise about that problem too.)

* The man's a walking trigger, so I don't want to use his name, and I will damn well respect the President-elect when the person holding that title is someone worthy of respect. I imagine we can all name a few reasons why this one isn't.
