We have discussed this with State and Federal authorities.
This is obviously fake, and likely it is a production of Russian troll farms.
As Americans we can’t let our enemies use lies to divide us and undermine faith in our institutions - or each other.

Thank you to our law enforcement and federal partners for keeping our elections secure and voters informed.
We are committed to providing accurate, trustworthy information about our elections and to combatting disinformation. Visit vote.pa.gov/FactCheck for facts and common questions.
Today, @CISAgov, @ODNIgov, and @FBI released a statement attributing yesterday's fake video destroying ballots in PA elections to Russia. Local election officials already debunked this video. Election officials are the trusted source for election info. go.dhs.gov/UMQ

William Eskridge (@EskridgeBill), Brian Slocum, and Kevin Tobia (@kevin_tobia) argue in “Textualism’s Defining Moment” that, even after committing to textualism, judges must make at least twelve subsequent choices, calling into question textualism’s rule-of-law value.

We're announcing a new class of risk-limiting audits called adaptive comparison risk-limiting audits. We show that a cast vote record table can be generated adaptively (and adversarially) without affecting the risk of an RLA. @voting_works @UConn_CSE @mspecter

Here at @TheRecord_Media we won't be running our story about the risks involved in the online voting aspect of the Conservative Party's leadership election, given that it isn't now happening.
But it is a really serious issue - and one that will certainly come up again. 🧵
