Even the majority leader has no authority over activating the DC Guard, which lay with the president and Army Secretary; Greene's claim that minority leader Schumer somehow "turned down" a request for the Guard is fiction. And Schumer pleaded for Guard help during the riot. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, in a speech in the House this afternoon, added Chuck Schumer to the list of Democrats supposedly at fault for not protecting the Capitol on January 6. This makes extra-no sense. Schumer was Senate *minority* leader at the time. 1/2 — PolitiTweet.org

The president is in charge of the DC National Guard, with his authority delegated at the time to the Secretary of the Army. They can talk to Pelosi if they want to, but the Speaker of the House is not in a position to reject their activation decisions even if she wanted to. — PolitiTweet.org

There is 0 evidence this happened. Trump informally declared a need for “10,000 people” in a chat with his acting defense sec the night of Jan 5, according to Miller. No actual order or request; Miller treated it as Trump hyperbole; it never went to Pelosi, because why would it. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a false claim about my fact check. Fetterman never claimed Oz isn’t registered in Pennsylvania, just that he’s registered in NJ; I noted that the “not registered in Pennsylvania” part came from Democratic commentators, not Fetterman himself. https://t.co/8I1jMck7p8 — PolitiTweet.org

It is very common for voters who have moved to be on the registration rolls in two counties or two states, though they can only vote in one. Not very common for US Senate candidates, but the “HOW CAN SOMEONE BE REGISTERED TWICE???” tweets are misplaced. https://t.co/pCCF9eAY2W https://t.co/rii0ieY5zX — PolitiTweet.org

Contrary to false viral claims, Mehmet Oz is registered to vote in Pennsylvania. And while people are free to question his PA residency, his NJ registration also being listed as "active" is standard for voters who moved out of NJ not too long ago: https://t.co/pEPW2CIIde — PolitiTweet.org

Not just Republicans. Millions of people just ignore their registration in one state when they move to another, eventually getting kicked off the first state’s rolls. Many people are more proactive, and perhaps that’d be wise if you’re *running* in another state, but here we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Anyway - questioning the depth of Oz’s ties to PA is clearly fair game, but we’ve got viral claims that he’s not registered to vote in a state where he just voted and where you can go pull up his registration in 15 seconds, so that’s weird. 5/5 — PolitiTweet.org

Oz spokesperson Brittany Yannick says Oz moved to PA in late 2020, is an active registered voter there, voted in the primary he won. She said he has bought land in PA to build a new house, but that takes time, so he’s living in the in-laws’ house for now. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

It is legal to be registered in two states. (Elections experts point that out when people like Trump suggest that double-registered people is evidence of fraud.) Lots of people remain on one state’s rolls after moving to another. It’s only illegal to *vote* in both. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Fetterman, his Democratic opponent, tweeted cheekily today that Oz has a NJ registration (correct) and that NJ isn’t PA (correct). But then others explicitly said Oz doesn’t have a PA registration at all, and that’s not correct. 2/ https://t.co/3nDLBtCNfA — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

These claims that Oz isn’t registered to vote in Pennsylvania are false. He has been registered in PA since 2020, at his in-laws’ house where he says he now rents…you can find his record on PA’s voter site. He is *also* registered in NJ, but “not Pennsylvania” is wrong. 1/ https://t.co/ywJ0qzuy66 — PolitiTweet.org

A Republican candidate for governor Michigan, Kevin Rinke, is running an ad that falsely claims “dead people always vote Democrat.” Of the tiny number of dead-person’s-ballot fraud cases from 2020, here are five: https://t.co/90TWVq5ols https://t.co/C7bNVo3yyU — PolitiTweet.org

For people wondering: this isn't some Texas-specific quirk - it's the situation in most states. There's a federal minimum of 21 for handguns from licensed dealers, but it's 18 for long guns. Only a handful of states have raised it to 21 for long guns too. https://t.co/upAtzvhyzD — PolitiTweet.org
