Russian attacks on Europe included a bid to sway the EU election, Dutch spies warn.

Russia is stepping up its hybrid attacks against the Netherlands and its European allies to influence and weaken their societies, the Dutch military intelligence agency MIVD said Tuesday.

“The potential effect on our security is unprecedented,” MIVD Director and Vice Admiral Peter Reesink said in the report.

@WilliamNB doesn't the #UK use #FPTP for their elections, just like the US?

if you do, i doubt that you can safely vote third party without securing your worst possible outcome.

you'd need to change voting laws first.

Really hoping my country doesn't fuck up its federal elections like my country did.

Keep in mind: federal #elections are simple but huge. 1 choice per #ballot. Easy & quick to count. But over 340 parallel elections. Candidate representatives & individual voters can watch the count. An open process.

Municipal elections usually have many choices per ballot. Those are complex, but small elections. Fewer scanners you may rent, fewer staff to train, but lots of choices to count.

#scanners don't scale well.
3/3

I am not a member of the DC Bar (or any BAR for that matter) but I'll give credit where credit is due.

I am super appreciative of #LegalEagle and his videos, but this is arguably his most important and it isn't very algorithm pleasing so I fear it will fall behind.

But there are #dcbar elections coming up and I'd anyone in the DC Bar sees this, it is crucial you elect #DianeSeltzer as the President to aid in these perilous times, she is far more accredited, and less dangerous than her opponent, none other than the brother of Pam Bondi. He will sell the legal system to #Felon47. Video with more details is attached
