#ElectronicVotingSecurity An early (2007) evaluation of electronic voting security, 'EVEREST', was conducted on behalf of the State of Ohio by 3 teams, 2 from universities, one private sector cybersecurity.

It was highly critical of the 3 systems evaluated, ES&S, Hart, and Premier.

All failed to adequately defend an election from insiders, prevent virus infection, and protect cast votes:
Pervasive mis-application of security technology, resulted in several cases in it being 'of no use whatever':
Logs could be forged or erased by the people they were intended to monitor:

Please read the Affidavit by Zachary Larsen, an attorney and former Assistant Attorney General in the State of Michigan. On 3 November he visited 20-30 precincts and was able to confirm that the election process was being conducted according to law.

Next day, 4th Nov, Larsen visited the TCF Center, Detroit. He found that the process for maintaining secrecy, requiring 4 separate officials for each mail-in ballot, was not being followed. On the contrary officials were peeking into the envelopes to observe the ballots: Image
It appeared that officials might be discriminating between ballots according to which way the voter had voted: Image

Thread on the #GrenfellCoverup. By a grotesque post-Grenfell reinterpretation of the Approved Document guidance, the government has been seeking to evade its responsibility for the fire and put the blame on others. Labour, who share approximately equal responsibility from 1/
their time in government, especially from 1999-2010, are complicit in the cover-up. The essence of the matter is that combustible cladding on high rise was always allowed in the national building regulations from their inception in 1965 until 18 June 2017, 4 days after Grenfell,
when @dawes_melanie, Permanent Secretary at @mhclg, in a letter to Local Authority and Housing Association Chief Executives, claimed that Building Regulations guidance required the ACM core to be of 'limited combustibility': assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

Back in December 2017, with the aid of a useful graphic, Michel Barnier explained that under a UK-EU FTA, the UK would have 'regulatory autonomy' - which is to say that we will not be bound to follow any EU rules and regulations.

ec.europa.eu/commission/sit…
He pointed out the UK's red lines: no ECJ jurisdiction, no free movement, no substantial ongoing financial contribution, independent trade policy, and regulatory autonomy, and observed that neither the EEA-EFTA, nor the Swiss, nor the Ukraine, nor the Turkey model were compatible
with them. They were however compatible with an FTA of the type of the CETA and EU-Korea FTAs.

Under these FTAs, Canada and Korea (that is, South Korea) do not generally bind themselves to adopt or conform to a EU laws and regulations.

Take CETA, for

Farage claimed Wednesday that Barnier said the FTA negotiations will continue 3 years beyond end 2020. In fact it was @Nigel_Farage himself in the European Parliament who said they will take 3 years. Barnier, in response, corrected him. Thread:

First, in passing, see that Farage first refers to us 'leaving' the EU at the end of the transition, while claiming it will take longer.

But then he claims that we don't leave the EU at all under the deal:
Now let's see what Barnier had said the previous night. On Tuesday he spoke about Brexit in Lisbon.

First: negotiation difficult since only 11 months given 'currently foreseen' Dec 2020 end date.

Second: decision about possible extension, summer 2020.

A thread on the transition, and the difference between a withdrawal period extension, and a transition period extension.

The three extensions to the withdrawal period were granted under Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union: 1/
There is no limit on the length of extension which can be agreed, nor is there any explicit limit on the number of extensions granted.

At the end of the withdrawal period, the EU Treaties 'cease to apply', which means in effect that the former Member State has left the Union. 2/
The Withdrawal Agreement, however, provides for a 'Transition period', which starts when the agreement comes into force, and ends on 31 December 2020: 3/

Farage proposes another Article 50 extension to 30 June 2020. The plan seems to be to negotiate a CETA type FTA during this period, to come into force on 1 July 2020. As an alternative, the UK and EU could agree to follow GATT Article 24 (!) telegraph.co.uk/politics/2019/…
@KTHopkins has just asked whether @Nigel_Farage has taken some sort of psycho-active substance. Potential problems with his plan:

1) Will the EU grant an extension to 30 June for this purpose?

2) Will they be overjoyed to jettison the Withdrawal Agreement?

In particular,
3) What is his plan for the Irish border?

4) Is he cancelling the financial payment that the UK (probably wrongly) agreed to? Will the EU be fine with that?

5) Does he realise that all FTAs are GATT Article 24 agreements?

And so on. Oh and incidentally, Tusk's offer of an FTA
