Johnson is right about internet connectivity & the lack of meaningful manual audits. IOW, @C_C_Krebs overstated the security of this election & underplayed internet connectivity. He mentioned only WI in response to Johnson’s fact check. He knows it was WI, MI, FL, & beyond. 1/

3/ The fact is that this was known by both Democrats AND REPUBLICANS before the election, but the GOP blocked election security legislation that would have banned the modems & internet connectivity & required robust manual audits. axios.com/gop-senator-el…
4/ I will never understand why the Democrats haven’t drilled this point again and again.
5/ @C_C_Krebs must get his act together. To be fact checked—correctly—by Senator Ron Johnson (Putin’s senator) is a f#cking embarrassment. #transparency rollcall.com/2018/07/09/aft…
6/ Yes, the election was likely more secure than past elections. But it was a very low bar. I explained in detail in my piece with @nybooks shortly before the election. nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/…
7/ Note: there is a lot more in my piece below the pay wall. I’m sorry about that. I hit it myself every time I want to read it. I even have an account but you have to sign in.
9/ Johnson is right about internet connectivity and the absence of meaningful manual audits, but he and the rest of the GOP were criminally negligent to have ignored (even embraced) these problems until now. rollcall.com/2018/07/09/aft…
