Here at the GA House Gov't Affairs committee hearing to vote on nasty #HB316---spending $150 Million for BMDs that do not improve GA's elections at all. Not secure, not auditable, hackable, and very complex. Rep. Rynders starts off with demeaning and disdaining comments. 1/
2/ Rep. @flemingbarrya claiming that touchscreen accurately captures voter intent. Nothing in science or research that supports that in any way. He implies that there are lots of hand marked ballots that cannot be read. Bull. Not true.
3/ He implies that 24 other states are using BMDs. There are NO states using these pieces of junk statewide. There are some limited number of counties using them.
4/ Rep.@flemingbarrya claiming that "one candidate" for Gov. was undermining the voter confidence in the Nov. election. Geez. WHAT voter confidence???
5/ He claims that 85% of public want BMDs! Total lie. Claims that the system is being used "very successfully in other jurisdictions." Yes, ask Johnson County, KS how "successful" these BMDs are.
6/ Now @TrammellBob explaining that cybersecurity experts say that BMDs are vulnerable.
7/ So, @RenittaShannon challenging the poll (supposedly by WSB) that said that people overwhelmingly want BMDs. That would be surprising. Anyone find that?
8/ Sadly @mmo_mary does not understand the necessary signature matching requirements on absentee ballot.
9/ It a crime how ill prepared these members are to debate this bill.
