I requested a copy of the livestream where Texas examiners learned that voting machine vendor ES&S was using an uncertified method to install software & that software installed w/ this method failed hash-validation testing. They are hiding behind a belated privacy objection. 1/

The objection is belated bc the copy of the livestream is encompassed by my original request send December 9! When they didn’t produce it, I asked about it February 14. They are pretending February 14 is the date of my request. 2/

I discuss ES&S’s hash-validation fail here. It appears there was an attempt to bury the issue. #ReleaseTheTape 3/

The issue was concerning enough that one Texas examiner called it “a gift wrapped opportunity to an insider threat, however unlikely. Under the current guidance from ES&S, an insider now knows specifically which file is not being inspected.... 4/

It’s similar to a bank robber knowing that the camera covering teller #3 is broken.” 5/

Moreover, as discussed in my article, ES&S initially misled about the issue. The public deserves to see the tape. Elections belong to the public. 6/

HR1 won’t help with this problem. It doesn’t require manual audits and wld allow touchscreen systems like this as a primary system for in-person voting. 7/
