1/6 HOW TO SET GOOD GUIDELINES FOR VOTING SYSTEMS
1) Consult with #cybersecurity experts
2) Do what they say
House bill #HR3351 says "the voter shall have the option to mark his or her ballot by hand." That's good. That's what the majority of cybersecurity experts recommend.

2/6 HOW NOT TO SET GUIDELINES FOR VOTING SYSTEMS
Senate bill #SecureElectionsAct sets up a panel of "independent experts on #ElectionSecurity" then fills it with ppl who are NOT #security experts. If you have to have heart surgery - do you want a surgeon or a hospital admin?

3/6 The #SecureElectionsAct has #bipartisan support, but contrary to current narrative it is NOT less intrusive to states - just less effective. It still sets up standards - but instead of specific ones, they are undefined & will be determined later by a panel of non-security ppl
Being a curious test engineer, I decided to see if the ink printed on the ES&S barcode ballot summary cards could be erased. The eraser from #2 pencil does not work, but a white eraser does! @DHSgov @CISAKrebs @MarilynRMarks1 @ronwyden @VotingVillageDC @maddow @MaddowBlog
The ES&S ballot summary cards can easily be erased and will most likely fade over time. I directly asked an ES&S representative if this was thermal paper and if the ink could fade and was told no. @jennycohn1 @philipbstark @mikefarb1 @jpanzer @amyklobuchar @VotingVillageDC
Rubbing alcohol also removes text from ES&S barcode ballots.
