Tomorrow @CoalitionGoodGv will file a Motion for Preliminary Injunction to require hand marked paper ballots in GA elections. If you want to see a preview of just a portion of the evidence we will present tomorrow with our brief. its here-- …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-sfc4b3730b91…
2/ The Court ruled last year that the state didn't have enough time to make the switch before the November election. They have plenty of time now! We will be arguing that in our brief tomorrow and showing the mess that the state made with the DRE machines in November. Stay tuned.
3/ Please support this intense and expensive effort, and make a tax deductible gift (and investment) today. Litigation is expensive--legal fees, court reporters, experts' travel costs, forensic examinations.... unending expenses! You can make a difference. coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate/

The GA SOS (Raffensperger and Kemp before him) destroyed key evidence in our
@CoalitionGoodGv
election security lawsuit. They started destroying evidence 4 days after we sued them in 2017 and haven't stopped. We filed this brief on Thursday. …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-sfe3f30c6a72…
The Judge has ordered the State to respond by Tuesday to the facts we present on the State's destruction of evidence.
Once Georgia voters start connecting the MANY dots, they will be very concerned about the legitimacy of any GA election conducted with electronic ballots. Voters don't know 90% of the story yet. Will they ever? It depends whether there is support for investigative reporting.

I've been getting lots of questions today about the relief that @CoalitionGoodGv seeks in the lawsuit with the hearing on Thursday and Friday. It's simple and consistent with our demands of over 18 months...
1/ #1 Hand marked paper ballots (HMPB) now! [Use the system GA has now for paper ballots. Don't wait years and months for a shiny expensive system to be vetted and certified. Start NOW and protect 2019 and 2020 elections! [Like using the old family station wagon to get...
2/ the kids to school. Buy the fancy Maserati when your driving skills improve.]

#2 Audit the election results starting NOW. All election results with HMPB can be audited--even on old systems like Diebold/GEMS. Do simple audits first that everyone can understand and observe.

1/ Someone just asked me why I say that it will take 2 to 3 years for GA to implement a NEW voting system, when VA counties switched in 3 months. Lots of reasons. it was only 23 VA counties that had to convert. They had known that change would be mandated. VA had certified....
2/ several voting system they could choose from. They had neighboring counties to help with the transition. VA counties are accustomed to running their own systems. GA has 159 counties with NO preparation, and totally dependent on one SOS office (and vendor.)
3/ GA is in no place to try to implement a new statewide complex system during a presidential election year.

🔥 GA, SC, NJ, DE, & counties in PA, WI, OH, TX, KY, IN, KS, CA, & NY, are rejecting unhackable HAND marked paper ballots in favor of hackable MACHINE marked printouts from machines supplied by vendors who sweeten the pot w/ gifts to lawmakers & officials. Learn more. ⬇️ #NN19 1/
2/ Thread with logistics! #NN19 #SMARTelections @LuluFriesdat @rad_atl @FilmsForChange @Netroots_Nation
3/ Florida just passed a law to enable the state to join these other jurisdictions in rejecting unhackable HAND marked paper ballots in favor of hackable MACHINE marked printouts from the vendors’ new machines. This is a critical topic that the national media has barely touched!

Hand marked paper ballots & even public hand counting mean nothing if there’s no way to confirm the polling place numbers are correctly reported to & aggregated by the centralized computers & reporting systems. Is there a way to confirm this in the US (cough Florida), UK, & AU?

1) In 2016, Russia ran a campaign of election tampering and voter suppression against the United States, undermining the democratic will of the American people. Top intelligence leaders and experts are warning us that it's going to happen again, unless we act. Now.
2) Free and fair elections are the bedrock of our democracy, but it's up to the federal government to protect them.
3) Since the attacks on our election in 2016, I have been calling on lawmakers at the local, state and federal levels to end our dependence on faulty technology and voting machines that leave our elections vulnerable.

“Paper trail” is vendor code for NOT “hand marked paper ballots.” So much for @PAStateDept’s “blue ribbon” election security commission. Studies show paper trails can be corrupted to omit, add or change races, & voters won’t notice, rendering any manual audit useless! 1/
2/ Touchscreens with Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (“VVPATs”) are almost as bad as paperless machines. Touchscreen Ballot Marking Devices are poised to follow in their dangerous path. link.medium.com/0mTcNPX7TT
3/ Link to Prof. Appel’s article re: the recent study by @rad_atl of Georgia Tech and @MarilynRMarks1, which shows that ballot marking devices (BMDs) can change the selections on the text portion of BMD marked “paper ballots” & most voters won’t notice. freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/12/03/why…

Hand marked paper ballots shorten lines bc many people can mark their ballots concurrently. (The scanning part is fast.) Touchscreens, which Georgia has, cause long lines bc they limit the # of people who can mark their ballots concurrently to the # of machines at the precinct 1/
Naturally, the GOP is enamored of touchscreens, and Kemp is hell bent on having Georgia replace its current touchscreens with more touchscreens. #ProtectOurVotes 2/
Get it now? 3/

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
