I don't disagree with @stphnfwlr (for once!😃), but I have reached out to Beach, Carson, Thomas to offer information on the system, share our experts' reports, and offer to attend LAT with them to help point out fact from fiction. There's so much of both! 1/
2/ Seems GOP officials know that "something's not right" about the Dominion system and are getting bombarded with lots of speculation and not much fact and science.

And far less solutions--and there are quick easy solutions.

I hope that they will let @CoalitionGoodGv help.
3/ This idea of conducting a "mock election" on Dominion machines is not going to be helpful to @BeachforGA and his colleagues to determine the reliability of the system.
It's like Volkswagen's Dieselgate. It will work perfectly in mock election or test mode.
4/ We have so many experts' reports to explain this and how the machines can be hacked undetected. A mock election will only give false assurance of reliability.
By nature the BMD paper ballots are untrustworthy. No amount of testing will change that.
5/ I talked with a Republican leader on Friday about this. It seems that many GA R's are so determined not to have egg on their faces about voting for these crazy un-auditable $150 million of machines (HB316), that they somehow want to find that design is ok, but vendor is bad??
6/ All this denial about the Dominion BMDs by GOP leaders and officials does is prolong the agony, cost and controversial elections. Eventually, the Dominion BMDs have to go, whether through court order or revolt of voters.

1/ I don't know whether to laugh or cry...

No wonder some GA lawmakers demand a signature audit of mail ballots! Jaw-dropping ignorance displayed in their SCOTUS amicus brief tonight.

These people ⬇️ think that the ballots have signatures on them. 🤦‍♀️ Read this crazy thread.⬇️
2/ They complain about potential fraud because signature checks MAY not have been as robust as they think statutes require.

The tell SCOTUS that mail ballots and the envelopes are required to have the voter's signature on them!

They never heard of secret ballot?
3/ They even cited a code section claiming it required signatures on ballots. They fibbed. Here is the law.
It does NOT say that signatures are to be on ballots.
In fact it is illegal to sign your ballot---see 4/

1/ I get questions frequently from people who have heard the SOS say that the BMD QR code ballots can be audited to tell who won. I'll explain why he is wrong.

Your BMD ballot vote is stored in the barcode. The text doesn't count. The computer reads only the QR code.
2/ The printer is supposed to print a candidate's name that matches what you entered on the touchscreen and what you hope the QR code symbol stands for. But you don't know whether the name matches the QR code.

So you really don't KNOW who you cast your vote.
3/ That can be overcome IF two unlikely things happen:
--every voter thoroughly and accurately checks before scanning to be sure that the printed list reflects his choices. (Hard to do, to remember all the contests), AND
--there is a thorough post election audit.

1/ Why hasn't the controversy over the GA election been settled yet?

Because in 2019, the GA legislature voted for a touchscreen voting system that cannot be audited, and no one can ever verify who won any election in which it is used.
2/ We should now all be committed to avoiding a repeat of this chaos and controversy in January.
It is simple, immediate, efficient and cheap!
Ditch the touchscreens and use hand marked paper ballots.
The only purchase needed is some black ball point pens.
3/ Keep the servers and the scanners.
-Give every voter a paper ballot to bubble in their choices.*
-Scan and tabulate the ballots.
-Upload memory cards to server, and generate reports.
-Audit all the races on the ballot.
*Touchscreens available for ADA use.

I'm listening to this craziness from the "Stop the Steal" Powell rally.
The very GA politicians who demanded that they have un-auditable touchscreens are now saying that they need traditional paper ballots--now only because they lost. 1/
2/ They claimed that they want a voting system that is made in the USA. I am not aware of one that does not have foreign made components. What do they plan to buy??

But GA can have 100% accurate trustworthy hand-marked paper ballots, and thoroughly audit the result.
3/ They claim that they will not vote on the Dominion machines.

They don't seem to understand that they can use the system they have and ditch the touchscreens, and use hand marked ballots and fully audit the tallies! All in public sight.

Join us @CoalitionGoodGv in asking St. Elec. Bd. to select hand marked paper ballots for the extremely important January election.
US Senate election should be conducted as an auditable defensible election. Can only be done with hand marked ballots. 1/
bit.ly/CGGtoSEB11_22
2/ The use of hand marked ballots should be desirable for both parties. Reduces avenues for fraud, hacking, and provides the ONLY way to have an auditable outcome.
75% of America votes on hand marked ballots. GA behind the times. New system uses old insecure technology.
3/ Please take a moment and write the State Board ---even a one liner---their meeting is at 8am tomorrow (Monday), but it will not be too late in the next couple of days for them to consider this.
Please write ASAP if you are interested in a secure US Senate election.

1/ While the political world seems focused on the problematic Dominion Voting System's role in GA's elections, some facts rather than conspiracy theories might help all sides to come to a reasonable solution going forward. That is the point of this thread. #Dominion
2/ I'll start with the recommended solution for the Jan. 5 Senate runoffs and support it with the facts and rationale in the thread.
How do I know anything about this? We @CoalitionGoodGv have been suing in fed. court since Aug.2019 to have the system declared unconstitutional.
3/ Simple solution for Senate runoffs. Have a defensible verifiable election with hand marked paper ballots (HMPB) for all voters (exception for voters with disabilities.) No hackable, insecure touchscreen machines. Optical scan for immediate tabulation, then thorough audits.
