15. Except for the WinVote all of this #voting equipment is currently in use counting real #elections. Much of it will be used in the #2020Election. No reason to be worried about our election results. But there is a webinar tonight at 8:30pm EST if you are zoom.us/webinar/regist…

For #MLKDay2024 I want to share part of a presentation I did on how electronic voting equipment can be a tool of #VoterSuppression. In 2018 approximately 127,000 votes were missing from predominantly Black precincts in GA theroot.com/exclusive-thou…
Image
The votes were cast on electronic voting machines w/no paper ballot. Coalition for Good Governance led by @MarilynRMarks1 investigated the disappearing votes & analyzed data w/statistical experts including @philipbstark

In a CGG lawsuit affidavit, @philipbstark discusses #election results of machine #3 at the Winterville Train Depot polling place. He says the likelihood of its anomalous results being random is "less than one in a million" #MLKJrDay #VoterSuppression

🧵This article from @nytimes
on #voting machines from ES&S (@essvote) applying for use in #NY focuses on #misinformation.
But what about misinformation from ES&S. Like they lied to @NYSBOE
about where they had pending lawsuits
smartelections.us/ess-problems#0…

nytimes.com/2023/06/04/tec…
Facts about what will happen if #NY uses all-touchscreen #voting machines.
- They will "cost a small fortune to purchase & maintain."
- They cost $10,000 each, double the cost of a standard scanner + you have to buy A LOT more. HIgher costs x more machines = OUCH for taxpayers Image
How many more #voting machines are used w/all-touchscreen (all-BMD) systems?

#BMD = ballot-marking device, All systems have BMDs for voters who want to use them. We don't all need to.

@OSET estimates all-BMD systems require 5 TIMES as many voting machines. Costs go up not down. Image

Thread #log4j
"The ‘most serious’ security breach ever is unfolding right now. Here’s what you need to know."

Wondering how this affects #voting machines? Is anyone looking into that?
@rad_atl @VickerySec @kiniry @benniejsmith

via @washingtonpost
washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
“The log4j vulnerability is the most serious vulnerability I have seen in my decades-long career,” Jen Easterly, U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director, said in a Thursday interview on CNBC.
"#Log4j is a chunk of code that helps software applications keep track of their past activities. Instead of reinventing a “logging” — or record-keeping — component each time developers build new software, they often use existing code like log4j instead. It’s free on the Internet"

Thread #FreedomToVoteAct
From a #Security and #Technology POV, there are some excellent points in the new version & some very concerning ones.

BEST SECURITY PROVISION
Preprinted #handmarkedpaperballots are required in the polling place!! This is something many of us fought for
Voting systems that can print on ballots after they are cast are prohibited - but the provision is weak. It can be "through mechanical means or through independently verified protections." I believe that means it is allowed, but you have to check if it's happening. Not great.
The voter's privacy must be maintained. That's great!

Thread. What is a #Hybrid #VotingMachine & Why Do I Care?

2. "It started out a good day. The day before I celebrated my 14th anniversary with my husband. The cherry blossom tree we planted in the backyard was exploding in pink taffy balls, and the smell of the lilies he got me floated through the living room as I walked to my desk."
3. "From there it went downhill pretty quickly ... For the last 2 years, I have been trying to protect New York voters, and voters across the country from a particularly “bad” type of voting machine known as a “hybrid”.

What is a “hybrid” voting machine?"
