Georgia wrongly purged almost 200,000 voters
NEW: Nearly 200k of the 313,243 Georgia voters who were removed from the voter rolls in 2019 were mistakenly purged— a 63.3% error rate.

As we wait for a vaccine, let’s remember that experts agree universal masking is an effective solution that is already available. This easy-to-do act of citizenship helps us resume normalcy. When it’s cold, we wear hats and gloves. When there’s a pandemic, let’s all wear masks.

DeJoy apparently broke campaign laws
Where does Trump find this collection of bigots and cheaters?
By reimbursing his employees for campaign contributions, DeJoy broke federal and state laws, including:
— Chris Lu (@ChrisLu44) September 6, 2020
"No person shall make a contribution in the name of another person" (52 U.S.C. 30122)
People have gone to jail for this https://t.co/Hq0UsLnjFe
During his testimony, DeJoy was asked by Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) if he had repaid executives for making donations to the Trump campaign.⁰“That’s an outrageous claim, sir, and I resent it. . . . The answer is no,” DeJoy responded angrily. https://t.co/DJAQJklZRB
