12/10/16 opinions about James Comey and the 2016 elections

Here is the link to a Twitter thread I did in December of 2016 about James Comey and the 2016 elections.

The thread discusses some thought I -- and many others far smarter than I -- had about Comey's actions during the elections and how they compared to the Hatch Act, which deals with interfering with elections.

I've since done a lot of reading about the Hatch Act and have found that it doesn't really enforce much of anything. So I no longer believe a lot of the things I mention in some of these threads.

Nevertheless, I do feel it's good for me to keep these threads out there -- alongside my more educated thoughts -- so people understand I'm a regular citizen, and an amateur, doing the best I can, in good faith, to educate myself about the way my country works. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I succeed.

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a day of political canvassing I did in October of 2016.

The thread discusses the canvassing, which I did for Jenise May. Other groups were canvassing on that day, like the SEIU Local 105, the Laborers' International Union of North America, the United Steelworkers, and Dafna Michaelson Jenet, who is currently a State Representative. The thread also mentions an endorsement Jenise May received from President Barack Obama.
