After seeing the sole source no-bid contract between ES&S and GA for programming the unauditable voting machines in 2018 and 2019, we issued a subpoena to ES&S today to learn more about why a corporation is counting GA's votes behind closed doors. …altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-sc2896b8d579…
2/ GA Voters deserve to know why ES&S was paid $300,000 to build the ballots and program the machines when the law says that the SOS "shall" do those functions. SOS excuse was that since they no longer had KSU/CES staff to build ballots they had to outsource. Hmm. ....
3/ They had 3 ballot builders on staff at KSU and they have 3 now. So what is the $300K for? We will expect to learn more when they produce the subpoenaed documents.
4/ It costs money for attorneys to prepare subpoenas and have them served. And lots of funding for depositions and experts--which the Court really relies on. Please help if you can. We are fighting for YOUR voting rights. coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate/

When @GaSecofState or other election officials claim that voters can verify the human readable text on their Dominion ballot printouts, ask them whether most voters could remember their votes to verify them on this actual Denver ballot. I know that I would not be able to.
@GaSecofState 2/ If I do not 100% "verify" my ballot as accurate, then it is not a valid source record for a post-election audit. A huge percentage of ballots will not be 100% verified as accurate by the voters. Then what? An unauditable election.
@GaSecofState 3/ A Denver voter voting on the Dominion barcode ballot (like GA will have) was voting on these issues and would have to remember them all by topic to verify that the machine is working properly to record the voters' votes.

I am sorely disappointed in @wsbtv & @AaronDiamantWSB for the very misleading reporting they did on the new voting system. I hate posting this video because it helps spread lies and dishonesty and gross misrepresentations, but I have to show people the evidence. So follow along..
2/ Here is the ridiculous propaganda that @wsbtv delivered to its viewers. Please read thread below to see the rebuttal and the importance of punching a hole in the the SOS lies, promoted by WSBTV. wsbtv.com/news/local/sec…
3/ WSBTV video (from the SOS website) shows a full face ballot printing out of the BMD, with full ballot content and text, and no barcode (QR code.) They even say that the voter will see a full ballot. But it is untrue. The voter get a barcoded ballot that looks like this.

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.

Georgia election officials farm out ballot creation to ES&S subcontractors who work FROM HOME: not even state employees! A corrupt insider or attack on one of these subcontractors could corrupt every ballot in GA. Are there background checks at least? Thread. #gapol 1/
Former Georgia Elections Director Michael Barnes who has been involved with GA elections since 2002, seemed uncertain in the witness stand whether GA conducts background checks! 2/
“Barnes didn't seem certain of whether these people had background checks or what physical security is at their homes. NBD?” - via @populational 3/

In 2014, ES&S’s Sr. VP—the former GA election director who encouraged GA 2 buy paperless (unauditable) voting machines & defended those machines for years—re-defined “paper ballot” to include hackable MACHINE-marked summary cards from ES&S touchscreens. vimeo.com/101095739 1/
Alarmingly, election officials, national “election integrity” groups, and the media all fell for it and adopted this expansive and misleading new definition of “paper ballot.” 2/
In other words, thanks to ES&S, “paper ballot” now can mean either unhackable HAND marked paper ballots OR hackable MACHINE-marked “summary cards, “many of which put selections into barcodes. 3/

Mitch McConnell's and Rand Paul's home state of Kentucky is one of eight states that still uses paperless (unauditable) voting machines as the primary polling equipment in at least some of their counties. brennancenter.org/analysis/lette… 1/

Today at 12 ET, @SURfdn is convening a discussion at the @uscapitol with @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich
@justinhendrix & @acarvin about how we can all address the threats that disinformation & misinformation pose to democratic societies – & what do about it eventbrite.com/e/defusing-dis…
@SURfdn @uscapitol @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich @justinhendrix @acarvin I started working with @SURFdn in the fall of 2018 (when it was @StandUpIdeas) as a project manager for DefusingDis.info, commissioning & editing expert perspectives about what's happening at the intersection of media, tech, (de)regulation, misinformation & disinformation.
@SURfdn @uscapitol @AshaRangappa_ @astepanovich @justinhendrix @acarvin I joked that “a lie can be tweeted halfway around the world while the truth is still unlocking its smartphone,” but our reality is disinformation & misinformation cascading across billions of screens pose serious risks to much more than election integrity. defusingdis.info/2019/01/10/int…

Today in Georgia, Republican lawmakers are about to pass a bill that would ban abortion > 6 weeks, before most women know they’re pregnant. We don’t even know if these lawmakers were legitimately elected bc GA uses unauditable voting machines. #ProtectOurVotes #gapol #NoHB481 1/
2/ Here’s my featured Medium piece on the history of Georgia’s corrupted electronic elections, and the stunning “red shift” in election outcomes that occurred as soon as the state moved to unauditable voting machines. link.medium.com/U9vth7KEgV
3/ Screenshot showing that, a few months after Georgia signed the voting machine contract, the state’s vendor, Diebold Election Systems (which ES&S acquired in 2009) called in a convicted embezzler for consulting work. The embezzler had been Diebold’s Sr. VP & Programmer...
