Texas & voting machine vendor ES&S are hiding something. I requested a copy of the video of the voting-system examination that triggered a secret multi-state investigation of ES&S by @EACgov last year. Texas AG Ken Paxton (Mr. “Stop the Steal”) just ruled I can’t have it. 1/
In other words, Paxton, who tried to overrule other state’s election results due to baseless claims about Dominion Voting is now engaged in a coverup about ES&S. 2/
Obviously, the video could have been trimmed to remove passwords, which should be updated regularly anyway. This is a coverup. 3/
I wrote about @EACgov’s secret investigation of @essvote’s voting systems for @whowhatwhy here. The investigation began about 40 days before the election. @EACgov has so far failed to produce a single document in response to my FOIA. 4/whowhatwhy.org/2021/03/08/ele…
I submitted a formal response to ES&S’s bogus objection in which I pointed out that passwords could be trimmed from the video. Paxton ignored it. Seriously. What are they hiding?! 5/
I requested documents from @EACgov about its secret investigation of @essvote (which was referenced in documents produced by Texas) in January. They had not posted anything about it on their website. They have yet to produce a single responsive document. #BrokenSystem 8/
When I posted about @EACgov’s unreasonable delay months ago, they finally wrote me and said they would try to produce documents by May 14. That day came and went. Crickets. 9/
The next step would be for me to sue Paxton to get the improperly withheld video. I’ll look into this more next week. 10/ texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-governmen…
WTAF?! Four Georgia counties supposedly gave Garland Favorito backups of their Dominion voting system databases before the 2024 election?! And MAGAs also imply that they have analyzed Dominion databases in AZ, NM, & MI & claim to have found a “hard-coded globally used password” to all of these systems, which they published in a report, also before the election? And MAGAs then pranced around with the password on teeshirts, again before the election?! @marceelias @vp #gapol 1/ ballotassure.com/Reports/Securi…
2/ Honestly, WTH?!
3/ You can even buy Dominion password teeshirts on Amazon. This is insanely brazen. Where the f#ck was the media?!
Dear @VP: You once wrote that, “It is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we “can’t afford to be naive.” As you know, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states & Rs blocked the #SAFEAct, which wld have required rigorous manual audits for federal races. Why have you NOT requested manual recounts or at least ballot images? 1/

I wrote about Rs blocking the #SAFEAct election security bill (which @VP endorsed) & the MAGA voting system breaches here for @BucksCoBeacon. These 2 factors alone warrant recounts & ballot image requests in the presidential & senate races. @VP @SenBobCasey 1/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
3/ The many bomb threats in swing states may also have depressed turnout and u reminded the chain of custody for ballots and voting equipment, further indicating that manual recounts should be conducted (and ballot images obtained) as a matter of basic due diligence. Thread.
.@VP shld request manual recounts (& ballot images) bc Rs blocked legislation that wld have required robust manual audits for federal races, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states, & bomb threats forced evacuations of election offices. But if u are spreading half-baked calculations & other nonsense, u are undermining our ability to persuade @VP to request recounts. 1/
Sidney “Dominion Rigged the Election” Powell is only now learning that ES&S ballot scanners in some states contain cellular modems? Before “Stop the Steal” flooded the zone with crap, a simple Google search wld have told her that. Ds tried to require their removal b4 2020 but Marsha Blackburn (who sat on Trump’s 2016 transition team) blocked the bill. 1/
This video misleads. The Tulare County (CA) registrar did NOT say that they used Starlink for “voting systems” or for “ballot scanners” or for “uploading votes.” She did not specify, but was almost certainly referring to voter checkin computers (e-pollbooks), which connect to the internet. 1/
2/ I have sounded the alarm about e-pollbooks for years. But they are used to sign in voters, not tabulate votes. I explain in this thread.
