Dear @SenatorCardin and @ChrisVanHollen:

I am alarmed by the recent report in Motherboard that voting machine vendor ES&S (44% US election equipment) has admitted it “installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a period of six years,” but ...1/
... won't identify the states and counties where it did this. motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…

I am also alarmed that ES&S has “upgraded” its DS200 scanners — used in more than 20 states — to include cellular modems.freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/02/22/are… 2/
3/ According to Motherboard, Congress can subpoena testimony & documents if it opens an investigation. Pls do this immediately as to ES&S & the other vendors cited in the article,  Hart & Dominion , who would not say if they too had installed remote access software...
4/ .... in election equipment sold to states and counties. As your constituent, I hope you will take this request seriously. Our democracy may depend on it. cc: @RonWyden @amyklobuchar @SenatorLankford #ProtectOurVotes

Election chiefs in New York and PA are justifiably under fire for the glaring conflict of interest arising from their decision to sit on voting machine vendor ES&S’s advisory board and traveling on ES&S’s dime. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug… 1/
2/ NY City “elections officials have typically defended the [ES&S] scanners, even after a bad day at the polls,” but it turns out “ES&S, has a somewhat cozy relationship w/Mike Ryan, the head of the city's Bd of Elections, perhaps blunting any criticism that could come its way.”
3/ “Since 2014, ES&S has paid for Ryan to go to at least 9 so-called conferences all across the country. It's part of Ryan's role as a member of a secretive advisory board for ES&S, something it calls the ‘National Customer Advisory Board.’ Ryan was invited to join it in 2013.”

Dear @marceelias, @senbillnelson, & @andrewgillum:

Thank you for fighting to ensure that votes were counted as cast in your respective races. As an election integrity advocate, writer, and attorney, I wanted to share some facts with you that I believe warrant a motion... 1/
... to enjoin certification of results before a full manual recount of all paper ballots (not just the under and over-votes) is conducted. I provide links to the sources for all such facts within and/or at the end of this Thread. 2/
First, starting in 2015, Florida became one of a small number of states to allow voting machine vendor ES&S to install cellular modems in its DS200 precinct scanners, which are used throughout the state of Florida. 3/

These WI counties include cellular modems in their ballot tabulators:

Dear @vermontSOS (D): I am alarmed that you helped scuttle the Secure Elections Act w/ your expressed "concern" that the "mandates for post-election audits [were] too stringent..." If anything, they were not stringent enough. cnn.com/2018/08/22/pol… 1/
Contrary to what election officials have lead us to believe, all voting machines & scanners can be hacked via the internet even if they are not themselves connected to it. 2/ freedom-to-tinker.com/2016/09/20/whi…
This is because (among other reasons) all voting machines & scanners must receive programming before each election from centralized computers that can and often do connect to the internet. 3/

In April, voting machine vendor ES&S (44% US election equipment) admitted in a letter to Sen. Wyden that it “installed REMOTE-ACCESS SOFTWARE on election-management systems it sold over a period of 6 years”! ES&S previously lied about this to the NYT! motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/… 1/
2/ “It’s not clear why ES&S would have only installed the software on the systems of “a small number of customers” and not all customers, unless other customers objected or had state laws preventing this”
3/ Election management systems “sit in county election offices and contain software that in some counties is used to program all the voting machines used in the county; the systems also tabulate final results aggregated from voting machines.”
