Hot off the press: latest filing from @CoalitionGoodGv
complaint alleges that use of @dominionvoting BMD system violates the fundamental right to vote and guarantee of equal protection.
…altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/d-s5b1ba695c53…
The request: #HandMarkedPaperBallots , lower scanner thresholds to count every vote, and require meaningful audits. Its critical that GA run a defensible, evidence-based election this November. The mountain of evidence we've filed is compelling.
The @CoalitionGoodGv is a small but powerful non-profit, focused on how the nuts and bolts of elections can make or break election integrity. Your donation will help make a difference: coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate
Shocking new evidence includes ballot images that prove valid votes were UNCOUNTED by the scanning software, @GaSecofState instructed counties to reduce critical testing to bare minimum, and new @dominionvoting computers shipped with games developed by Russians
GA new Emergency Paper Ballot rule already REQUIRES every precinct to be ready to implement #HMPB - so requiring it as the primary method to mark a ballot actually reduces the work for counties (no need to test, transport and set up 80,000+ tablets, printers, UPS)

The takeover power can be used proactively.
The State Election Board calls a hearing, where they are accuser, judge, and jury - with no appeal and the target county forbidden to pay attorney fees to defend its election board.
1/4
The partisan SEB suspends the locally appointed election board, and annoints an Election Czar with power to hire and fire staff; decide early voting sites and hours; deploy more or less equipment to polling places.
Which affects lines, and voters.
2/4
The partisan appointed Election Czar has sole authority to rule on voter challenges, and SB202 allows unlimited challenges.
Also sole authority to rule on what provisional ballots to accept.

Thanks to State Rep @matthew_gambill for his concise explanation of why using the ballot marking devices instead of a pen costs counties more.
Having the local option to use #handmarkedpaperballots is fiscally responsible
Under law, counties are required to set up one voting station for every 250 registered voters AND have Emergency Paper Ballots ready for 10% of their voters.
Why not give a local option to allow counties to put pens in those stations instead of tablets and printers.
This year, counties will start paying for tech support and for repair/maintenance of the tablets, printers and scanners. Testing, transporting, and managing the electronics requires extra staff time. Local taxpayers want to know - why can't our local Boards decide?

Here's what election security expert @kskoglund told the Court about the report issued by Pro V&V.
1) The changes are potentially high impact
2) They did not review how the changes impact the operating system
3) They took Dominion's word for the root cause of the error
High impact changes:
the Letter Report describes two sets of changes to the source code itself in a total of five files.
Variable and function definitions in the source code are changed.
The impact of changing a value being used by code is far less than the impact of changing the code itself, in the same way that changing the furniture in a house has less impact than moving walls.

Breaking news: Georgia halts Logic&Acccuracy testing for Nov elections; serious database flaw found.
@CoalitionGoodGv filed this tonight:
…altionforgoodgovernance.sharefile.com/share/view/s34…
With in-person voting only 11 business days away, county election officials will be hard-pressed to prepare the new system on time. With electronic voting systems, each piece must be tested prior to use. The new GA system has 80K devices to test.
Using #HandMarkedPaperBallots instead of ballot marking tablets would eliminate 85% of the testing; its likely the only way to make up for time lost with the database error.
Counties are already prepared with #HMPB for 10% of registered voters.

Closing arguments are over, and now we await the court’s decision.
@HarriHursti explained how poor quality scans and arbitrary thresholds combine to leave votes uncounted.
I shared my experience on the Vote Review Panel, helping overcome the limits of technology.
People are asking whether it’s safe to use a mail ballot, given the scan problems.
Absolutely yes, and here’s why:
Your hand marked paper ballot is your vote. It can be audited, and counted by hand. You don’t need to verify a ballot you marked yourself. Your vote will count.
Contrast that with the ballot summary from a ballot marking tablet. Evidence proves it may not represent your vote, whether by bad programming or by malware. Most of us can’t and don’t check them, and there isn’t much to be done if we find an error. Audits are meaningless.

Kudos to the State Election Board, chaired by @GaSecofState , for backing down on their defense of bad scanning software settings used to count mail absentee ballots.
A proposed rule means MORE votes will automatically count, and fewer valid votes will deemed unvoted in Nov
Original settings meant 3-5% of all ballots required manual review - which delayed final tabulation nearly 2 weeks in large counties. It also left some voted uncounted.
Listen to SOS Counsel Ryan Germany explain what happened: dropbox.com/s/z3m4sjodl02y…
Vote Review Panels in several counties reported the problem of uncounted votes, and SOS staff, including @GabrielSterling fiercely defended the settings - calling them industry standard.
But GA Law is unambiguous: if voter intent is clear, the vote SHALL be counted.
