1/4 COVID_19 isn’t the only viral threat to our country!
An online voting platform developed by Democracy Live poses serious risks to election security and outcomes in #DE#NJ and #WV.
We must continue hammering our Congressional Reps with a simple demand: #ProtectOurVote
2/4 Uncovering multiple flaws and voting vulnerabilities, researchers at MIT and UofM concluded OMNIBALLOT from Democracy Live can easily be hacked, personal data mined, and votes altered w/out detection! Porous architecture of software invites external and internal threats.
3/4 Potential portals for attacks:
🦠 Voter’s device- infecting device w/bot or malware
🛠 Server-side- stealing private info and election
data
🧬 3rd-Party Code- Highjack javascript and inject
altered script #VBM
4/4 B/c OmniBallot does not use end-to-end verifiability, the authors strongly urge voters:
🗳️Print a blank ballot, mark, then mail/drop it off
🗳️If voting online, compare to ballot found in state voter
guide & print a copy before submitting t.ly/yqo3

Castigate… vilify… demonize… then dehumanize! We have your political playbook, Donald Trump, and it reads like a page out of another fascist leader's in modern history. #ProtectImmigrants#WeAreHumans 1/8

But, we also hear the mania and desperation in your demagoguery. Jumping from subject-to-subject without a definitive line of logic or consistency in policy and actions, your malignant gibberish is infused with a daily fusillade of attacks, bullying and tedious tweets. 3/8
My initial reading of this article left me in a reactionary mode: WTF? We wouldn’t be in this cesspool of #tRumpToxicity had folks at NYT & other media done their jobs. I ran the gamut of how we arrived here:
🚨 extreme partisanship nyti.ms/2RLlg02
✅ Russian meddling
🚨 gerrymandering
✅ voter apathy
🚨 under-representation of women in gov’t
✅ failure of education system (I teach middle school)
🚨 income inequality
✅ shitty and corrupt #GOP
🚨 Jill Stein
✅ F*cks & Friends at Fox
🚨 evangelical neighbor

Followed by inventorying my outrage. Like many, I was sickened by the Muslim ban, horrified by family separation and incarceration at our borders, pissed and fatigued by daily #tRump sh*t show, resentful I had to call my MoC to plead for gun reform, basic rights, including
