Candidates who traffic these lies are playing with democracy and, as I told , they’ve unleashed something they don’t understand. If they think they can outrun this movement… they can’t do it.

Gates cont’d:“The facts haven’t changed in 2 years.
The original lies about 2020- sharpies, etc- were part of the grift.
The Senate’s so-called audit was part of the grift.
Telling people their preferred candidate lost due to cheating is part of the grift.

As I’ve said in the context of those who harass our elections workers & voters here in Arizona, it is time to dial down the rhetoric & get back to being Americans who do not treat those in the other party as enemies or attempt to dehumanize them by calling them traitors or mules.

Today's attack on Paul Pelosi is shocking & must be condemned by all. The rhetoric being used by some of our leaders normalizes violence and the intimidation of voters, elected officials & their families.

1/ Boris Johnson delivered Brexit and the great vaccine roll-out.
He led our country through some of the toughest challenges we have ever faced, and then took on Putin and his barbaric war in Ukraine.
We will always be grateful to him for that.

🧵Hi Mark.
- ballots must have the appropriate formatting and security marks to be read by tabulator
- ballots be returned in a signed affidavit envelope. We don't accept loose ballots
