Take a look at a form that we've developed to increase public confidence in election results:
At poll locations, with a poll watcher certificate, we check if the number of voters matches the number of ballots. At this location numbers matched perfectly. 198 voters /198 ballots.

The GOP is going to steal the election coming up in November, and they will steal the presidential election in '24. They are not pretending anything otherwise.
Just as we are ignoring the climate emergency,

Democrats cannot rest on their laurels just because we got a bill passed. Abortion is illegal in half the country, and at least ten states are ready, willing & able to subvert the ill of voters in November.
There's no time to waste,

This is not the time to act as though this upcoming election will be anything other than utterly & completely unprecedented.

It's so much fun to watch films together on zoom - and share thoughts in the chat. Way more fun than watching alone. This series will start at the beginning of the electronic #voting machine election security movement after HAVA was passed in 2002.

1. "The Election Assistance Commission on Wednesday voted to adopt the first comprehensive update to its voting system security guidelines in more than 15 years, concluding a lengthy process that ended with a mixed reception from some election security experts."

2. @SMART_elections wrote a letter to @EACgov that hundreds of others sent as well asking for a number of requirements,including:
- create a panel of technical election security experts, separate from NIST staff, with no financial relationship to vendors

3. Other items we asked for:
- The EAC must set and meet the goal that by the end of 2022 40% of the Technical Guidance Development Committee will be made up of technologists and individuals with technology expertise.
- require digital ballot images to be public records

2. "a tech backwater, the voting machine industry has been sustained through inertia and sweetheart deals ... One hurdle to reform is that the industry is dominated by three players — Election Systems & Software...Dominion Voting (30 percent); and Hart InterCivic (15 percent)."
3. "ES&S, has seized on the moment to threaten members of SMART Elections, a journalism and advocacy group, with a lawsuit for spreading “false, defamatory and disparaging” information about one of its machines, the ExpressVote XL." smartelections.us/ess-problems#4…

3. What is wrong with the "Voting Solutions for All People?" It sounds so perfect. If only the system was as good as the name. A coalition of good govt groups signed a letter detailing some of the problems that need to be addressed: img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/5275… #LAVotes #SecurityFail

2. Does it matter if you get training? Yes. "We face a period of contestation/from the 1st day a ballot is cast/until 1/20/20. The winner may not, & we assess likely will not, be known on 'election night'." If you are prepared & ready - you can help. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7013…

Great news! Today, after hearing from thousands of Texans, the @TXsecofstate issued additional guidance to voters & election officials regarding Hart eSlate Electronic Voting Machines. Last night, we sent a letter to the Secretary. #ProtectOurVote texascivilrightsproject.org/release-texas-…
This is an enormous victory for voters in Texas. Thousands of you shared your concerns & signed our petition asking the @TXsecofstate to take action. texascivilrightsproject.org/action-votingm…
Throughout the week we received multiple reports from voters who voted straight-ticket, then saw on a later screen that their vote for a particular race was changed to that of the opposite party.
