@T_Cronin Yes! Mentioned that in the article and in this tweet — PolitiTweet.org

@tmillsjr ? No. If you start from Q4 2019, pre-pandemic, the increase as of Q4 2020 is slightly bigger than the increase if you start from Q2 2020. If you start from Q1 2020, the increase is much bigger than the increase if you start from Q2 2020. https://t.co/QvZDRbj5hz — PolitiTweet.org

@FuriousBrad The 50% to 90% group went from $32.74T to $34.81T, a 6% increase — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden was correct, per Fed, about top 1% gaining $4T in wealth during the pandemic -- went from $34.6T in Q2 2020 to $38.6T in Q4 2020, a 12% gain. Wealth of the bottom 50% also rose, from $2.09T to $2.49T -- 19%. (Obviously: the absolute numbers, not just %, matter here.) — PolitiTweet.org

Biden says again that in Trump tax cuts, "83% of the money went to the top 1%." That's a think tank projection of what would happen in 2027 if its individual cuts expired after 2025 as scheduled, not what has happened already; estimate is top 1% got 21% in 2018, get 25% in 2025. — PolitiTweet.org

@VorAbaddon I can't say for sure based on the text. You can read the language on page 9. https://t.co/zO2rJVWo91 — PolitiTweet.org

The state assembly (Republican majority) selects the “nonpartisan” chair and the state Senate (Republican majority) confirms them. The bill says this person can’t in the previous 2 years have worked for a party, run, made a campaign donation or been a party or campaign official. — PolitiTweet.org

@kenkircher1 No. All counties that wanted Sunday voting decided on their own to do it. They can now continue to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Sunday early voting was *already* optional in the previous law, a county by county decision. The previous law didn’t even mention Sundays in this section of the text. The new law explicitly says Sundays are optional. There’s no added discrimination in this provision. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

@TanknMe Well, hours are shorter because the boxes now have to be inside elections offices and early voting locations and only open when early voting is open. And now have to be human-monitored. That's the "security" argument. Opposing view: they were already secure, no evidence of issues — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

This, too, leaves a lot out. The GOP-controlled state elections board can now decide to suspend any county's elections officials and temporarily replace them with a person picked by the state board, who'd assume their (considerable) powers re voting. https://t.co/XNSWdcBFUW — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Like, yes, the law makes drop boxes official in every county, cementing them separate from the pandemic. But it's not a "myth" the law eliminates some boxes; big Dem counties can now use way fewer than they did in 2020. And box hours will be much shorter. https://t.co/GAPhJhSGak — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The final Georgia law doesn't ban Sunday early voting. It actually adds an extra Saturday in primaries and generals. And it doesn't end early voting at 5 pm. It does, however, cut 2 weeks of early voting in runoffs, which it shortens by 5 weeks overall: https://t.co/iH7r0OGTY4 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

In 2020, the drop boxes could be outdoors, available 24 hours a day, and available until the night of election day. Now they have to be indoors at elections offices or early voting sites and only available during early voting hours. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Republicans are saying look, we made drop boxes a permanent part of Georgia elections, pandemic or no pandemic, and made at least one exist in every county in the state. Democrats note that, say, Fulton County had 38 drop boxes in 2020 and now can have a max of eight. And... — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

How does GOP justify claim they increased drop boxes? 'Til now, boxes were allowed only under pandemic rules; now, actual law says all counties need at least 1. BUT: law also has a max per county, which'll mean sharp cuts in big Dem counties from 2020. https://t.co/GRoInOH8KA — PolitiTweet.org

The Georgia elections law has important provisions that are sometimes getting lost amid the talk about the food-and-drink item. Here's a guide to its key changes, in detail but in plain language: https://t.co/iH7r0OGTY4 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

There's been some misinformation and some confusion about what's in the Georgia elections law. Here's a simple breakdown of what it does -- on absentee voting, early voting, runoffs, state power over counties, drop boxes, food and drink, and other issues: https://t.co/t0o5e5Uiok — PolitiTweet.org

@IChotiner I can accept various arguments for why someone subjectively prefers it, and the tournament is usually great entertainment. When they say things like "the college game has better fundamentals" or "the players stop trying once they get rich," it's deranged — PolitiTweet.org

This is also wrong. People can't provide any "gifts," including food and drink, within 150 feet of a voting building *OR* within 25 feet of anyone in line to vote. (There's an exception for poll workers who choose to set up unattended water stations.) https://t.co/OZdaCphx31 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Some of the criticism and some of the defense of the new Georgia law has been inaccurate, so be careful who you're relying on for your analysis. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

As @stphnfwlr said, this is false. The provision highlighted in this tweet is linked to a previous law (https://t.co/s6P2RFuuhA) that makes exceptions for ballot delivery by numerous family members, including grandchildren. https://t.co/GrJK6BgWAz — PolitiTweet.org

John (disclosure: I've met him once or twice) has done such nuanced, sensitive and compelling reporting on children and gun violence, and I'm unsurprised reviews of his new book have been excellent. https://t.co/Cp9WmWFkqN — PolitiTweet.org

The candidate Trump has endorsed to run Georgia’s elections has launched his campaign with a flurry of false claims about Georgia’s 2020 election. Fact check on Rep. Jody Hice: https://t.co/DbcTBq6GzK — PolitiTweet.org
