“Several people tried to break into the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center’s warehouse in downtown Phoenix on Saturday, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office said Tuesday in a statement.” 2/
“This was after two individuals had visited the center during business hours on Friday asking for voter registration forms and to take pictures of the building.” 3/
“According to the Recorder's Office, ‘one of these individuals returned, accompanied by two others. Camera footage shows that those three attempted to unlawfully pry open our warehouse doors, but were unsuccessful.’” 4/
“Democratic Rep. Reginald Bolding says this behavior stems from the former president’s false claims of election fraud.” 4/

Told ya. One outcome of the disinformation campaign will be to give America’s largest election vendor, ES&S, even more corrupt control than it already has. But ES&S is the company that had the real election-security scandal in 2020. It just happened behind closed doors. 1/
My new piece for @whowhatwhy. ES&S conducts its own hash testing. This is a big problem bc hash testing is the crucial process that customers are supposed to use to confirm that ES&S has provided them w/ certified software as opposed to God Knows What. 2/ whowhatwhy.org/2021/03/08/ele…
Not only that. ES&S has used an uncertified method to install software in up to 19 states. Software installed w/ this method failed hash testing. When Texas examiners started asking questions, ES&S misrepresented the situation. 3/
I lost faith in the US govt to tell me the truth re: election security when Comey & @EACgov testified that it wld be really hard to hack an election bc voting machines supposedly don't connect to the internet, & an expert explained on C-Span this was BS.1/ csoonline.com/article/312639…
3/ It was like a death. Never in my life would I have thought my government would lie about something like this. Or, alternatively, be this incompetent. I spent the next three years feeling like I need to try to micromanage the situation bc I didn't trust them anymore.
This is what Texas examiners said about voting machine vendor ES&S’s security protocols behind closed doors (in internal emails): “It’s a gift wrapped opportunity to an insider threat, however unlikely.” 1/ whowhatwhy.org/2021/03/08/ele…
2/ “Under the current guidance from ES&S, an insider now knows specifically which file is not being inspected. It’s similar to a bank robber knowing that the camera covering teller #3 is broken.”
3/ “It is the ultimate ‘fox watching the henhouse’ scenario. It is them [ES&S] self-certifying systems for use.”
Sometimes I feel invisible, especially when I post something that I worked really hard on and that people should pay attention to but instead ignore. Making videos helps. 1/ #ProtectOurVotes
🚨PSA re: America’s largest voting-machine vendor has been conducting its own hash-validation testing. I’m calling on @EACgov to find out what states have allowed this and for how long and to put a stop to it before the midterm elections.
Texas & presumably other states have allowed voting machine vendor ES&S to conduct its own hash testing, the crucial process 4 confirming that a vendor has supplied its customer w/ certified software, as opposed to, for example, vote-flipping software. 1/ whowhatwhy.org/2021/03/08/ele…
When Texas examiners discovered this, they were appalled. One called it the “‘ultimate ‘fox watching the henhouse’ scenario. It is them [ES&S] self-certifying systems for use.’” 2/
I have questions. For how many election cycles has this been going on, and what other states are giving ES&S such free reign to “self-certify” voting software updates? What is @EACgov doing to get a handle on the scope of this problem and stop it before the next election?! 3/
