This shouldn't need to be said at this point, but given the new Speaker's apparent beliefs, it bears repeating:

While there are weaknesses in US election infrastructure, there is simply no evidence whatsoever that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" or that technical attacks in any way altered its outcome.

58 of my colleagues and I wrote this shortly after these nonsensical conspiracy theories began to spread two years ago. It remains as true now as it was then. mattblaze.org/papers/election2

@mattblaze "The election was stolen" = "the authoritarian dominionist candidate didn't win".

It's a mistake to engage on facts; the folks advancing the position don't care about the facts, they care that God told them their guy would win. Therefore their guy not winning is the work of the devil and they can do anything at all to overcome that and still be good people.

@graydon I mean... the authoritarian DID win.
