Rs claim to care about election security, & #handmarkedpaperballots are the “gold standard.” But Rs have made little or no effort to replace paperless (unauditable) voting machines in 5 of the 6 states that still use them. By ⁦@KaleighRogers⁩ 1/ fivethirtyeight.com/features/repub…
2/
3/ Nor have they prioritized requiring backup paper poll books for electronic poll books, which have become much more popular in recent years.
4/ Plus, they blocked the #SAFEAct in 2020, which would have banned paperless voting machines and internet connectivity to voting systems & required robust manual audits for all federal races. axios.com/gop-senator-el…

Remember when Nelson blew the whistle that Russia was inside Florida’s voter registration system, & Rick Scott implied he was crazy, but Nelson was right & then Scott defied the polls to win the race after an unusually high number of mail ballots in South FL weren’t returned? 1/

Was voting machine vendor Election Systems and Software, LLC the vendor whose name was redacted from the Senate Intelligence Committee Report re: the 2016 election, ie, the vendor that Russia “scanned”? The spacing fits, yes?
FBI Director Chris Wray shld declassify this info. 1/ Image

A few years ago, @jhalderm warned that a single election-system vendor does pre-election programming for 2k jurisdictions in 34 states from an office building in the Midwest, constituting a centralized point of potential attack.

ES&S is in the Midwest. 1/scientificamerican.com/article/how-to…
2/ “The Senate Intelligence Committee report...includes a section titled ‘Russian Activity Directed at Voting Machine Companies,’ which states that Russia also ‘scanned’ a ‘widely used vendor of [US] election systems’ b4 the 2016 election.” nybooks.com/daily/2019/12/…
3/ “But the name of the vendor is redacted, and the unredacted portion of the report does not explain what it means by ‘scanned.’”

“Ohio nearly purged 10,000 voters who ended up casting 2020 ballots” by @srl

In purging voters, Rs assume that voter inactivity means they moved. Shouldn’t they at least have to double check the USPS notice of change of address list first? 1/ theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…
In Ohio, tens of thousands of mistakes have been caught in recent years, but only bc the state made the planned purge list public, which allowed public interest groups to comb over the faulty list & alert the state to errors. I highly doubt most states do this. 2/
“Months ahead of a scheduled purge in 2019, the state released a list of 235,000 people who were set to be removed from the rolls. Voting rights groups found more than 40,000 eligible voters included on it and were able to prevent them from being removed.” 3/

Weird how TFG and the GOP didn't scream about "election integrity" after Russian hackers probed Georgia websites in 2016. They WANTED to continue using paperless (unauditable) voting machines. This changed only bc a federal court forced them to change. 1/
The federal court's ruling was made in a case brought by @CoalitionGoodGv and others. But although Georgia Republicans moved to "paper," even then, they had to leave room for manipulation by rejecting #PenAndPaper in favor of touchscreens that mark your "paper ballot" for you..2/
... w/ a barcode and text. A recent study showed that, if the machine omits or changes the voter's intended selection as shown in the text on the paper, voters will notice only 7% of the time, which is especially a problem DOWN BALLOT. 3/

“In 2007, the Justice Department was upended by scandal because it had pursued a partisan [anti-voting] agenda on voting, under the guise of rooting out suspected ‘voter fraud.’” 1/ brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
“In pursuing this agenda, DOJ political leadership fired seven well-respected U.S. Attorneys, dismissing some top Republican prosecutors because they had refused to prosecute nonexistent voter fraud.” 2/
“Top officials hired career staff members using a political loyalty test, perverted the work of the nonpartisan Voting Section toward partisan ends, and exerted pressure on states and an independent government agency to fall in line with an anti-voting rights agenda.” 3/
