😳ES&S’s ExpressVote voting system reportedly has an integrated zebra technologies barcode reader whose “operation can be modified by scanning configuration barcodes,” which can “reconfigure which types of barcodes the scanner reads,” & “how it reads...&..processes them.” 1/ Image
2/ “They could cause the barcode scanner to stop tabulating ExpressVote barcodes or to tabulate them incorrectly. They can even be used to allow sending unintended data & keyboard commands to the voting system.”
3/ “A set of carefully constructed keyboard commands could be used to manipulate the voting system software.”

.@charliekirk11’s “Turning Point Action was listed as a participant in [the] ... rally, which preceded the attack on Capitol Hill. Prior to the rally, in a tweet he later deleted, Kirk said the group wld be involved w/ sending over 80 buses...” 1/ cnbc.com/2021/01/13/dar…
2/ “CNBC captured a screenshot of tweet before it was deleted.
Kirk recently said on his podcast that those from Turning Point got back on their buses & left following the conclusion of the rally.”

IMO, the #SAFEAct is better on election security than HR1 bc it wld ban most touchscreen voting machines currently available. HR1 wld allow them as a primary in person system bc vendors call the paper they spit out a “paper ballot.” Pen & paper is safer #HandMarkedPaperBallots 1/
I have not looked at other aspects of HR1. It addresses more than election security. The #SAFEAct shld be the starting point for election security reform in my opinion. 2/
HR1 requires that all voters have the option to mark their ballots by hand. But it does not specify that, for jurisdictions with in person voting, the hand marked (pen & paper) option must be available for in person voting (vs it only being an option w/ vote by mail). 3/

Rs killed the #SAFEAct, which wld have required robust manual audits of all federal races. Rs then used the lack of transparency that they created to make the baseless claim that Trump had won. They had no reliable evidence but falsely claimed they did, inciting a deadly riot.
1/ The GOP opposed robust manual audits. They WANTED an unaudited election. axios.com/gop-senator-el…

For a long time, GOP elites imagined “they cld exploit racism & conspiracy theorizing while remaining focused on a plutocratic agenda. But w/ the rise...of the Tea Party, then of...Trump, the cynics found that the crazies were actually in control...” 1/ nytimes.com/2021/01/11/opi…
2/ “You might have hoped that a significant # of sane Republican politicians would finally say that enough is enough, & break w/ their extremist allies. But Trump’s party didn’t balk at his corruption & abuse of power; it stood by him when he refused to accept electoral defeat..”
3/ “... and some of its members are responding to a violent attack on Congress by complaining about their loss of Twitter followers.”
