I'm at the NYC Board of Elections mtg. Just spoke w Commissioner Flateau. He was unaware that the Dominion ICE is in use in 3 counties. The machine can be hacked to add votes to paper ballots.
There will be a demo of e poll book vendors on 5/29.
They just changed the epollbook demo. Not sure when it is now. They use these public meetings to work out when they will all be available to get together. It seems like they could do this ahead of time with a doodle.
@BKVoters @LetNYvote
I think the epollbook demo is 5/30 at noon @BKVoters @LetNYvote
Current voting system does not accommodate ranked choice voting. They would need to change the firmware. They could add an algorithm and announce the results the next day. This could be for city races mayor comptroller & public advocate. @BKVoters @LetNYvote
Michael Ryan saying they expect about 20% participation of eligible voters in #EarlyVoting
Michael Ryan emphasized they need a Municipal pollworkers program to make sure they have the right people and the right training in order to make #EarlyVoting work. @BKVoters @LetNYvote
Those would be city union workers running the elections. That is a very politicized and partisan group of people. What are the ramifications of that?
Elections are best administered by impartial or transpartisan officials and workers. @BKVoters @LetNYvote
Michael Ryan is going to testify or send a letter to the state Senate on the board's position on #AutomaticVoterRegistration #AVR @NYDLC @LetNYvote @BKVoters
@commoncauseny they are reviewing #NY state open meetings law at today's NYC BOE mtg. @LetNYvote @BKVoters Ryan wants to know if he can get legal advice on this issue privately.

Thread 1. My latest #ElectionSecurity reporting on the presence of a #WiFi signal in the tabulating room in #Dallas TX - the state where @BetoORourke lost his #Senate race to @tedcruz truthout.org/articles/new-e…
2. The investigation is over a backdrop of previous trouble that #Dallas County had with the results in the March #Democratic #Primary where multiple precincts had more #votes than #voters. Never a good thing.
3. On @TheBradBlog I talk about the investigation & play exclusive audio of #LauraPressley, an engineer coordinating #election observers all over #TX who discovered the irregularities, so you hear directly from the person who is reporting the #WiFi signal. bradblog.com/?p=12780

1/3 Was trying to remember when the ES&S hack was - when @VotingVillageDC reminded me last night. It was Aug 2017 - In the massive 1.8 mill #voter ES&S #data breach part of the download was...encrypted versions of passwords for ES&S employee accounts. usatoday.com/story/tech/201…
2/3 @UpGuard is the company who found the breach. “The worse-case scenario is that they could be completely infiltrated right now,” said Upguard's director of strategy Jon Hendren.
3/3 ES&S is the largest provider of voting equipment in the country. Let me just repeat that for emphasis. “The worse-case scenario is that they could be completely infiltrated right now.” And hackers could have had a full year to do what they need to do. apnews.com/f6876669cb6b4e…

New York! Experts say that, due to a design flaw, the Dominion ICE “Hybrid” voting system can add fake votes to paper ballots after they are cast. Tell @NYSBOE to #ICEtheICE and use #HandMarkedPaperBallots instead. Thank you. #ProtectOurVotes

Dear Media, It is irresponsible to continue pretending we have a system that allows us to know whether or not our “official” election results are legitimate. 1/
2/ The terrible truth is that neither you, nor I, nor any other voter knows what happened inside the electronic voting machines, election management systems, ballot marking devices, and tabulators used to count our votes.
3/ All electronic vote tallies can be hacked through the internet, even if the voting machine itself isn’t connected to it. freedom-to-tinker.com/2016/09/20/whi…

The ICE manual for undercover agents describes how agents & informants are allowed to break the law & can use "proceeds" from illegal businesses to fund their own operations in the field. Profits can also be paid to other agencies and foreign governments unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE can also use profits from illegal business activity by undercover agents and/or informants to buy evidence, to pay themselves overtime, and pay for travel expenses unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…
ICE provides cover to undercover agents and informants, as well as fake businesses for use during infiltration, using a variety of methods. One passage reveals how they are provided with fake social security numbers by the Social Security Administration unicornriot.ninja/2018/icebreake…

There's been a lot of talk about #electionsecurity since we know #Russia will try to hack the #2018Midterms.

This thread will give brief overviews of #votingmachines, #opensource software & #handmarked #paperballots. THREAD 1/10 #MondayMotivaton
Jurisdictions don't have 💰 or staff to buy new machines frequently or keep the ones they have up to date with security updates. There's no voting machine that can't be hacked. 2/10 nytimes.com/2018/02/21/mag…
Manufacturers & election officials say since the machines aren't connected to the internet, they can't be hacked. But that's not accurate. Polling places transmit voting results using modems. 3/10 #technology #hack #telecommunications

Invited to testify to NY State Assembly committees on Election Law, Election Day Ops and Voter Disenfranchisement this morning. Will be sharing my discoveries related to the data processing of NYS voter files in foreign territories. #CambridgeAnalytica
First up, execs from NYS Board of Elections describing our compliance to #HAVA (Help America Vote Act) and hardening of NYS voting equipment, effects of Kremlin hack attempts. Certified source code is escrowed with board. NY bans wireless, private vendors for machine config.
NYS Board of Elections reports continued probe attempts into our election infrastructure, coordination with federal resources, but targets and techniques by hostile actors not yet being shared with state. Notes problems of private vendor coordination.
