It looks to us @CoalitionGoodGv that @GaSecofState has a big problem with ImageCastX system he chose. The law says that it has to comply w/ GA rules before GA can buy it. Makes sense. But, shocker, system does NOT comply with GA rules! I'll explain the weedy, but big problem!...
2/ GA Rule requires 2002 technical standards, not more modern standards.🙄(Who's surprised? ) SOS has not updated their Rules, and it takes long time to do so. Also the system must be certified that it complies with the statutes. But it doesn't comply with HB316 which requires...
3/ human readable ballots to be cast among other requirements that ImageCastX cannot meet. So how is Dominion BMD going to get certified??? State cannot purchase until the system is certified. Seems like a big conundrum for the state. 🙃
4/ The SOS has known for 2 years that they were going to get a new voting system, but left their dusty old rules to require archaic machines no longer on the market. How can GA voters trust these people???

"No concerns" about the "consistent" ballot secrecy problems that the St. Elec. Bd. Chair is finally acknowledging after refusing for years to deal with this violation of voters' constitutional rights and violating GA and federal law. 🧵1/
2/ Image
3/ The problem rarely can be remedied in the polling place. Turning machines to wall often allows a voter aisle way so that passing voters see vote displays of others. Sadly, SOS/ SEB pressure has "normalized" this constitutional violation.

Hey, @bluestein, @markniesse , can you explain why Dems and officials are against this rule to account for the NUMBER of ballots (not votes!) before sending the ballots and memory cards to HQ?
It is standard requirement in most states, including bluest of states. 1/
2/ Ballots are often found in scanner write-in bins, emergency bins, scanner crevices long after the election. Test ballots are found in scanners. The right time to collect and RECONCILE and account for all ballots is before workers and watchers leave the polls.
3/ If I were poll worker and told to take ballots to office from polling place and no one would inventory them to count the number of ballots they were giving me before I left ,I would refuse the job. I don't want to be responsible for bringing too few or too many!

Coffee County again! It appears that the Bd. of Commissioners is trying to block the Bd. of Elections from initiating an independent investigation of the massive voting system breaches.

We wrote the community:

2/ The theft of the voting system software that Trump's allies arranged and paid for has never been meaningfully investigated.
Sec. Raffensperger and St. Elec. Bd told the federal court in 2022 that there was "active and ongoing" investigation, but that was false!
3/ SOS investigator testified in court that he was told to "open a file, but hold off" on actually investigation. No investigation was done.

Eventually, they gave it to GBI to do criminal part of the investigation, but did nothing on the security issues or civil violations.

The debate about the Fulton Co. lawsuit on certification continues to lack context of how GA elections work. The progressive groups opposing the fundamentals of this lawsuit may be find it backfires on them. They really don't want what they seem to be asking for here. 1/
2/ Yes, while certification is SUPPOSED to be "ministerial" and required if there is an accurate canvass of votes, the opponents don't understand that GA doesn't have meaningful canvassing. An election board should NOT just blindly sign whatever pops out of the machines!
3/ The Sec. of State office has no required forms or procedures for canvassing. We often see that the number of voters is not reconciled to the number of ballots. It is not unusual to find AFTER certification, stray memory cards of ballots or ballots left in scanner not counted.

GA Runoff Voters--Head's Up! 🔔🚨

GA voters are getting alerts in top right corner of their MVP's like below. For many voters, the message is NOT TRUE. ✖️ Ineligible voters are getting this message too.

Why did SOS do this? 🤷‍♀️ Ask him.
1/ Image
2/ You can vote in a runoff contest in the same party you voted in during the May primary. You cannot switch parties for the runoff. If you voted only nonpartisan ballot or did not vote, you can vote in either party's runoff. For example....
3/ If you voted a D ballot in May, but the only county runoff is the R sheriff's primary, you are not permitted to vote in the runoff. If you voted an R ballot or nonpartisan ballot, or did not vote at all, you CAN vote in the R sheriff's runoff.

It may require some research.

Coffee County has uploaded no results as of 10:45.
And Bibb County has not uploaded Mail ballots or early voting.

Is this is any way related to the recent cyberattacks?
Image
Image
2/ Also both Coffee and Bibb have had highly restricted voting system software put in the hands of unauthorized actors. But no one has really investigated to figure out if there was damage to the system.

Maybe it is just coincidence, but they shouldn't have to guess!
3/ It is REALLY hard to get good information on what exactly is happening, so it is hard to guess from afar why these two recently attacked counties are not able to report results.
