Remember how #ModemMarsha blocked a bill that would have protected electronic vote tallies against hacking by Russia & the GOP (and anyone else) AND a bill that would have required campaigns to tell the FBI about illegal offers of foreign assistance? 1/
2/ Why did #ModemMarsha want to leave the door to our electronic voting system wide open?! axios.com/gop-senator-el…
4/ The #SAFEAct blocked by Marsha Blackburn would have banned the wireless modems that ES&S installed in precinct ballot scanners, including in her state of TN, and required robust manual audits for all federal races. #ModemMarsha

7/ Swing states too.

Contextomy is propaganda that takes a “quote out of...context to artificially generate new meaning.”

Example: @dennis_welch posts video of AZ audit observer who says auditors are looking 4 bamboo shreds in ballots. Buries in video 2 that observer does NOT believe this himself 1/ Image
Video goes viral. Large accounts harass this observer bc they are under the false impression—created by @dennis_welch and his misleading video editing—that Brakey believes the crazy theory that the ballots will be found to have bamboo shreds in them. 2/ Image
.@dennis_welch does not bother to clear up the confusion. It’s fun having your video go viral at someone else’s expense.

@KeithOlbermann doesn’t notice or doesn’t care about the many people correcting him.

@maddow runs the miskeadingly edited clip too. 3/

We can’t have early voting without e-pollbooks. But we shld not use them on Election Day, and we are doing that, sometimes without backup paper poll books.

We can’t have voters-can-vote-anywhere vote centers (like LA county’s crap system) w/o e-pollbooks either. 1/
2/ It’s one reason I oppose replacing precinct voting with voters-can-vote-anywhere mass voting centers. LA county was supposed to be the model, and it was a shit show. They want to take it national. prospect.org/civil-rights/i…
This is what happened when e-pollbooks failed in LA county in the 2020 primary. Backup paper poll nooks are impossible with this type of voters-can-vote-anywhere model. LA was mostly vote by mail in the general due to this f#CK up. 3/

Wow. Chris Krebs blocked me for pointing out gaping holes in his “most secure election” testimony. Hint. The bar was astonishingly low. 1/
2/ The presidential race was heavily scrutinized but most unexpected Democratic losses down ballot were not audited meaningfully fully or at all. Most likely not at all. Due to his overbroad testimony, efforts to require meaningful manual audits for all federal races have stalled Image
3/ Why bother w/ election security legislation if Chris Krebs says the voting system is already secure? All we need is one man’s word, right? No need for dumb audits after all! 😡

TY @C_C_Krebs. Serious question. How cld u know if vote tallies were changed down ballot w/o conducting a forensic analysis of the machines or meaningful hand audits? America’s top auditing expert told me b4 the election that most races are not audited meaningfully. TY. 1/

“Letter [from Concerned Voter]: Are South Carolina Voting Machines Secure? - FITSNews”

Article is about WiFi-connected checkin computers that are monitored from a remote location. Hacked checkin computers cld turn away registered voters. Also, ... 1/ fitsnews.com/2021/05/04/let…
That these checkin computers (e-pollbooks) are monitored remotely during voting from concerns me. It could tell bad actors more or less how many votes they need to change the result. A former election official alerted me to this possibility last year. There is a website ... 2/
... that the vendor shares w/ election officials & anyone else they share it with. The e-pollbook website lets the vendor & others w/ access monitor in real time how many voters 4 each party have showed up 2 vote in person. Valuable info 4 bad actors who want 2 change result. 3/

TFG had no evidence that Trump won or that Biden lost. But to dissuade GOP voters of the Big Lie, we needed evidence-based elections. No matter what Krebs said, we did not have them. Even if elections are secure, officials must be able to prove it. I & others warned about this.
