Democrats should have been MUCH LOUDER about demanding evidence-based elections. Ds tried to pass the #SAFEAct, but were so meek that Trump has now stolen the narrative. As I asked last year, “if Trump...loses but falsely accuses Ds of election fraud, how will we disprove it?” 1/ https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1103819435507236864

Even now, I rarely hear Democrats or the media mention that Ds tried to pass the #SAFEAct, which would have required robust manual audits to confirm electronic results. And that the GOP killed it. Why? 2/

If Ds had made election security—including the need for evidence-based elections—a core campaign issue, it would have inoculated them and the country against Trump’s current attacks. But they didn’t do it. They put it on the back burner. And now Trump has seized the narrative. 3/
