Dear election officials in MI, WI, FL, & IL. Your precinct ballot scanners are NOT FEDERALLY CERTIFIED bc they contain cellular modems that connect 2 the INTERNET. Pls confirm u will remove the modems b4 November. TY. #RemoveTheModems @JocelynBenson @WI_Elections @FLSecofState 1/
These ES&S ballot scanners with modems installed are not even federally certified to @EACgov’s ludicrously lax standards. It is the definition of insanity that election officials in MI, WI, FL, & IL plan to use this equipment in a presidential election. #RemoveTheModems 2/
As noted, these modems connect the ballot scanners to the internet. Election officials must remove them now. #RemoveTheModems 3/

6/ @CynthiaMcFadden did a TV expose of ES&S’s ballot scanners w/ wireless modems in January. As she reported (& as previously reported by @KimZetter in print), the central tabulators connect to the internet to receive the modem transmissions. Yet officials left them in?! Why?!
This is a huge risk. Central tabulators are the county systems that aggregate all precinct totals. Having them connect to the internet to receive these cellular modem transmissions from precinct ballot scanners is unnecessary & reckless. 7/
.@RonWyden authored two bills that would have banned these cellular modems that ES&S & election officials installed in ballot scanners in WI, MI, FL, & IL. But @senatemajldr killed that legislation. 8/
It’s why I call him #ModemMitch. But nothing has stopped @JocelynBenson, @FLSecofState, & @WI_Elections from doing the right thing by removing these cellular modems. So why the h#ll haven’t they?! #RemoveTheModems 9/ Image
Organizing to demand the removal of these unnecessary and dangerous cellular modems is one of the action items I included in this piece. #ProtectOurVotes 10/ link.medium.com/Kd58zlgla9

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image

The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/ Image

The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.

The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/Image

Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/ Image
