But it’s harder to detect patterns in South Carolina since they use ES&S state-wide.
When I dug into Mitch McConnell’s election results so many people said
“Now do Lindsey Graham”
I get it.
Lindsey got 672,941 votes in 2014.
In 2020 he DOUBLED his votes to 1,369,137.
Really😳
So I wanted to share more questions on Kentucky & some from South Carolina
THREAD👇
But it’s harder to detect patterns in South Carolina since they use ES&S state-wide.
First I saw:
👉2,134,996 Kentuckians voted for the President
and
👉2,134,446 voted for the Senate
A difference of exactly 550?
That number felt tiny🤔
So then I reviewed Kentucky’s historic data.
2008: 25,687 (1.41%)
2016: 20,684 (1.07%)
2020: 550 (0.03%)
This number still stuck out so I went back further...before KY’s shift to electronic voting🤔
👉71,498 left down-ballot races blank in 2004 (3.98%)
👉Only 550 left down-ballot races blank in 2020 (0.03%)
Wow?!?😳
So I compared KY to other states & that’s how SC jumped out at me.
2008: 49,538 (2.58%)
2016: 53,134 (2.53%)
2020: -1,775 (-0.07%)
Suddenly it all flipped in 2020.
MORE folks came out to vote in Lindsey Graham’s SENATE race yet left Trumps race blank?
It defies both logic & historical data.
2014: 672,941
2020: 1,369,137
An increase of 103%
Yet Trump only increased his votes by 20% since his last election🤔
2016: 1,155,389
2020: 1,385,103
South Carolina has a long history with ES&S. And the state just bought new ES&S equipment (the same models used in Kentucky). This despite a computer expert trying to point out the states problematic ES&S history.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to look at a state who used ES&S for decades & switched to another type of voting machine in 2020?
Well we can. Consider the case of Georgia...
At the time of the controversial 2018 gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams & Brian Kemp (the man who at that time ran Georgia’s elections) they used old ES&S machines.
Of 3.9M+ votes cast, about 160,000 of them left the Lieutenant Governor race blank. That was 80,000 fewer votes than other down-ballot races.
Neither logic or historic data supported these results but they couldn’t dispute them since the paperless ES&S machines couldn’t be audited.
For example, a precinct had 7 voting machines.
On 6 of the machines Dems won every race.
On the 7th machine...Republicans won every race🤯
A statistician described this scenario as “less than one in one million”
From 2002 when Diebold/ES&S entered GA to 2020 when they left...
the GOP won EVERY Senate race.
Maybe that’s why 209 out of 227 countries use #Paperballots
Georgia changed after shero Stacey Abrams energized the voters...but also after she helped get ES&S out of their state🤔
But Georgia couldn’t audit elections til local GOP were forced to change to auditable systems. And not until the GOP lost did they undertake manual hand counts.
That’s why a Federal approach is critical. We need impactful legislation passed ASAP
KY, SC & GA exemplify why they wanna keep control.
We know the GOP gerrymander & frantically pass laws to curb voting.
So let’s not draw a line at questioning illogical electronic voting results.
#RecountKentucky
Republicans are canceling orders & choosing not to buy Dominion. Which sends them running into the arms of ES&S...
I recently wrote an article on it👇

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
