We @fsfp sent evidence to the @EACgov demonstrating that @essvote was falsely claiming its voting machines with wireless modems were federally certified. The EAC agreed & ordered ES&S to write to its customers admitting the systems aren't certified. 1/ politi.co/323C5Gb
This is a rare action that's welcome but overdue. The voting machine vendors operate with little to no oversight or regulation & that has enabled a culture of duplicity. Recently the EAC had to take the unusual step to publicly disavow similarly false claims by other vendors. 2/
It's past time for Congress to use its authority to put these vendors under a microscope. We need to know more about the companies that count our votes, and we need to stop them from lying. End.
