1/ GA Voters--note the details for the upcoming SAFE voting system demo meeting below. Here is the DEMO I want to see: Each member of the Commission mark this Nov. Fulton ballot, and..... …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-s902d169d5fb…
2/ then, use a BMD style ballot card and see if they can remember everything on the ballot to "verify" that the ballot card (like below) is accurate. Can they remember what all those ballot questions are? I'd like to see them try! Yet they want a system where all voters...
3/ must verify the ballot card list of 27 contests (in this case) is accurate, while standing at machine. If all SAFE members can "verify" a 27 item list by memory, then I might reconsider my opposition to these absurd machines.
Attend at 9am on Wed.
4/ In case you are seeing this craziness for the first time, @BrianKempGA and @VoteBradRaff are insisting on a system that is not auditable unless ALL voters memorize their ballots (or take cheat sheets to polls) and test the machines for accuracy. HUH?
5/ They can't MAKE people memorize a long ballot and test the machines. That is not the voter's job! So why do they want to spend at least $100 million more on this system than the BEST system of hand marked paper? 🤔🤔🤔😡

I'm betting that there was only one member of the SAFE Commission that asked such questions. (Lee) But because the meeting violated Sunshine Laws and let the vendors talk privately with SAFE Comm members, we don't know!!
I was surprised that no one objected to this egregious violation of GA Sunshine Laws. We could not hear the claims that vendors were making to SAFE Comm. members, or what members were saying to vendors. 😡😡⁉️⁉️@stphnfwlr @JohnnyIK @markniesse @katebrumback
You might recall that the SAFE Comm has also had secret illegal telephone meetings, violating the Sunshine Laws. Georgia is headed for the same trouble they have with the current voting system. That is what happens when officials make back room decisions.

This very important news for GA voters and lawmakers--@VerifiedVoting (highly respected election integrity org) tells SAFE Commission to choose hand-marked paper ballots and reject electronic BMDs. 1/ …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-s4003df36667…
2/ This org has an impressive board of advisors of nationally known computer scientists and voting system experts, whose cautions should be heeded. verifiedvoting.org/board-of-advis…
3/ Many of these experts warned Cathy Cox not to purchase the flawed Diebold system b/c of no verifiable paper trail & the high security risks. They join other experts and public interest groups to oppose this expensive, high risk BMD/ barcode technology.

1/ Hand marked ballots. W. Lee says, "If you don't want that, you need to justify why." He is right! cc: @rad_atl nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
2/ "Supporters of ballot-marking machines argue that they reduce voter error." But they have not produced any evidence of that. The errors I make on my touchscreen iPhone indicate that touchscreen entry is not error free!
3/ Perhaps touchscreen voting machines are the "autocorrect of voting." Hmmm. Maybe that's the problem in GA. 🤔🤔🤔

Some Nine World's stuff worthy of a read.
One of the reasons why the 9W stuff is interesting to me is partly due to how it all turned out, what they achieved and the hardships they faced and also partly because I could see Kitacon going the same route and facing the same challenges.
Obviously I'm keen to avoid the pitfalls others have made in order to maintain a strong event and team but I can't help be worried about the geek/nerd communities being swallowed up by non caring events worried only about their bottom line.

Call to Action thread from @IndivisibleGAco
Commission will meet to choose how to spend as much as $100 MILLION on new equipment for Georgia elections. That equipment may be no better than what they are replacing!

It couldn’t be any clearer what Republicans in states like GA and TX are doing. They are purposely undermining voting rights for Black and Latino Americans. Here’s how they’re doing it:
1. #GA Republicans are holding up the voter registration of 53,000, mostly Black people. The state’s Secretary of State Brian Kemp who oversees the voting roll is in a race for governor against Democrat @StaceyAbrams: nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
2. Florida has barred ex-felons who have completed their sentences from voting in the state denying 1.5 million people the right to vote. A referendum on the ballot in November would restore voting rights to these people: nytimes.com/2018/09/26/mag…

despite the flash flood warning, tonight’s joint session of charlottesville city council & the human rights commission is still on!
(i’ve seen pictures of some flooding in other parts of town, but i didn’t encounter any downtown. the albemarle county school board meeting is off.)
it looks like there’s only ONE actual member of the commission here?
charlene green (staff, not on the commission) from the office of human rights is addressing interim city manager mike murphy & councilors hill, signer, and galvin.
city attorney john blair is in the audience.
ann smith, the commission’s chair & the only member present tonight, is reading from a powerpoint about the role & history of the commission.
i’m unable to locate an agenda for tonight’s work session...

1. Thread. This is bad news. Contra Costa County election supervisors have decided to buy $6M dollars worth of voting equipment from Dominion Voting. contracostaherald.com/02141801cch/
2. Dominion had virtually no presence in the industry until it acquired Diebold Election Systems and Sequoia in 2010. I discuss all three companies- and their disconcerting histories and incestuous relationship with ES&S in my Medium article linked here. medium.com/@jennycohn1/up…
3. The voting system that Contra Costa County decided to buy is called the "Dominion Democracy Suite." It looks like it may contemplate using Ballot Marking Devices (which generate "computer" marked paper ballots) for all voters, not just those unable to hand mark their ballots.
