Raffensperger @GaSecofState's deputy did a "poll"--79 percent preferred “a touch screen electronic voting machine with a verifiable printed ballot” over “a paper-only ballot marked by pencil.” I would choose "verifiable printed ballot" if ....1/ ajc.com/news/state--re…
2/ there was such a thing. But there's not. And I certainly don't want to mark my ballot with pencil!!
3/ But the fact that he got his right hand man to conduct this study and acted as if it was independent, tells us a lot about @GaSecofState and @flemingbarrya and their motives and tactics. Must be a big prize at stake here! 💰💰🤔

Tweeting from Senate Ethics committee hearing #HB316. The most depressing legislative "process" that I have ever experienced. @kirkpatrickdk , chair ( R ), picked the speakers today for the Proponents and the Opponents. Not permitting any credentialed experts for Opponents. 1/
2/ Sponsor @flemingbarrya is making so many dishonest statements including claiming that no time limits were imposed on witnesses and that all people who wanted to speak could. Claims that touchscreens are 100% accurate---never mind the research.
3/ Chair announced that she has a substitute bill but she has not distributed it. They will be voting on a very complex bill that that the public has not seen.

I've had it with @flemingbarrya and his dishonest claims in his determination to ram through #HB316 without letting the facts be known to lawmakers. Today, he made this ridiculous statement that WHETHER voters review their votes on ballot cards is a "policy question." 1/
2/ No, it is a fact based on much research that a most voters do not review, and most cannot remember the full content of the ballot, causing the ballot card not to be reliable for an audit. But @flemingbarrya wants to make this fact into a "policy questions?" ❓❓🙄🤔
3/ He first says that it is the voter's "personal responsibility" to verify his ballot ‼️I'd like to see @flemingbarrya "verify" this typical ballot without a cheat sheet. Any races missing, Barry? Can you fulfill your "personal responsibility" to remember everything?

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.

Philadelphia meet the voting machine the Comms. never showed you until it was too late.
The new system:
✅ uses un-auditable barcodes
✅ is hard for voters to verify
✅ prints a "paper record"
✅ is vulnerable to malfunction
✅ ignores expert recommendations
It is the largest, most expensive voting machine available. It is 2-3 times the cost of hand-marked paper ballots and has longer lines. It will be interesting to see what $20-30M worth of items in the city budget will get cut to fund this extravagance.
It received terrible reviews for accessibility by voters with disabilities when the PA Dept. of State tested it. "None of the participants were able to verify their paper ballot on the XL." "Every participant had at least one problem..." dos.pa.gov/VotingElection…

Ms. Hennessey,

I would like you to show me how vote switching is impossible.
Show me on the Voting machines that have zero paper record. The following states use Direct Recording Electronic voting machines only (no paper output on what vote was recorded).
LA, DE, GA, SC, NJ.
W/O any feedback, how can you guarantee that the vote that was placed is the one recorded on the hard drive?
I say 'prove it'
Should be simple right?
Not so fast, the DRE machines w/o a paper trail have no way to perform a vote audit
Prove to me the vote was tallied correctly
Furthermore, many of the states wipe the hard drives of those machines too soon, those states don't even allow for an audit of what was on the machine's hard drive. How are audits supposed to occur if the data have been erased?

This story is wild: One of my followers (@the_stormclam) shared this Facebook post from Greensboro, NC Rabbi Fred Guttman on how an electronic voting machine was wrongly switching some of his votes from Dem to GOP. Guttman is my father’s rabbi, & Gboro’s in a key House seat #NC13
Like a number of North Carolina counties, Guilford (pop ~500k) uses electronic voting machines that produce a paper record. But it’s likely that tons of voters don’t bother checking that internal receipt when they vote. Make sure you do if you vote on one
To be clear, there’s no indication yet that this is anything but an error or is a widespread problem. However, if anything like this happens to you, alert polling place staff immediately & ensure your vote is recorded properly. And push your representatives to adopt paper ballots

A whopping 800,000 people registered to vote for National Voter Registration Day.

But Congress and state governments still have not taken the recommended measures to increase security in the midterm elections. <thread> eff.org/deeplinks/2018…
At this year’s @defcon, researchers evaluated a voting machine that’s used in 18 different states. They demonstrated how easy it is to gain admin access, which lets someone change settings—or even the ballot—in under two minutes. defcon.org/images/defcon-…
A Congressional working group concluded that election infrastructure is largely insecure across the country, with 42 states using machines susceptible to vote flipping, and at least ten states using machines that provide no paper record or receipt. documentcloud.org/documents/4379…
