I have a scary story—hear me out on this one…

Midterms ARE being hacked.

They’re utilizing Active Measures to repress or change your vote.

They say Votes weren’t changed.
This is NOT true.

The votes of MILLIONS were changed—

A VOTE DENIED IS A VOTE CHANGED.
👻Theeeeeeey’re Baaaack! 👻

They👏Are👏Back

“They'll be back..they'll be back in 2020, they may be back in 2018...”
- James Comey testifying to the Senate Intelligence Committee, 2017

The reason the GOP has done NOTHING to secure our elections is because they don’t WANT secure elections.

Voters
🔹Check your ballot
🔹Ask a poll worker for help
🔹Call 866-OUR-VOTE to report voter suppression, votes changed & get help

The GOP cheats—They win if you don’t #VOTE

Let’s add a little context to the discussion of voting security in the US. To do that, I’m going to do something Computer Scientists are bad at - I’m going to talk about history. Specifically, let’s look at the Help America #Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002. 1/
The reason to talk about HAVA is to start recognizing some of the challenges of paper ballot-based voting. HAVA came about largely because paper ballots were proving to be extremely difficult to manage. 2/
