1/Why did 70% of America move away from electronic voting machines to #HandMarkedPaperBallots?
@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn PLS set us straight on why you chose #QRbarcodeVoting for GA?

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair Science tells us that many VOTERS don't even look at the paper. Don't read it. Don't verify it. Human Nature. @GaSecofState @GovKemp @krayburn blame the VOTERs. Voters get abused by machine marked #QRbarcodeVoting and Ga's #GoodOlBoys blame the victims.

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair BMD-ballots cannot be used in the most critical type of election audit: one that seeks 2 verify which candidate was selected by most voters. BMD-ballots don’t work 4those audits because they preserve no direct evidence of either the voters’ selections or their verification.#gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair Individual voters can be sloppy, but the truth is that tabulator technology has already reduced this problem to insignificance. When a voter casts an over voted ballot, the tabulator identifies the problem and gives the in-person voter a chance to correct it or cast it. #gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair But I see no reason to assume the error rate in marking ballots (where ovals are directly beside candidates’ names) is similar to the error rate in taking standardized tests (where ovals and questions are on separate documents.)

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ BMDs were Designed for PwD. They should ALWAYS be available for anyone who needs one. But I have a right to mark my vote with my hand too. 70% of America votes by #HandMarkedPaperBallots because they're SECURE. Security comes first. #gapol There IS more work to be done.

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ We don’t rip out curbs and stairs when we accommodate wheelchair users with curb cuts, ramps, and elevators. Ripping out all the smaller restroom stalls to give everyone an accessible stall would increase cost and lengthen lines, just as it does with BMDs. #gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ Ballot Marking Device users’ ballots are more secure when there are only a few used at the polls. The less BMDs there are the less chance that a "Bad Actor" would want to mess with them. #gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ What'd happen if a postElection audit did detect encoded votes were different than the readable votes. CHAOS that could've been avoided had voters been able2 detect & report misprints on Election Day. Who is going2 legally determine which of the conflicting votes is valid? #gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ I’ve encountered none who could both describe and quantify any problem that encoded votes are designed to solve. Without that information, neither they nor we can assess whether the added security risk is justified. #gapol

@GovKemp @GaSecofState @krayburn @Georgia_NAACP @DPGChair @Karen_McKim_ BMD proponents often reflexively deflect discussion of BMDs’ undeniable flaws [ENCODING] by tossing out irrelevant facts. Timing marks can't be read. True but irrelevant. #gapol
