.@SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats should also try a separate standalone bill that bans paperless (unauditable) voting machines and that gives all in person voters the option to mark their ballots by hand with a pen (rather than a touchscreen). #HandMarkedPaperBallots
I also strongly advise that @SenateDems & @HouseDemocrats try a standalone bill that bans internet connectivity to voting machines. Seriously. Some Rs may agree. If the GOP shoots such a bill down, their own voters may turn on them. Assuming Democrats message the bill clearly.
This is the type of manual audit that Stark recommends.
Manual recounts are very rare. Without automatic robust manual audits (conducted regardless of the margin of victory), we are blindly trusting our votes to black boxes. This is dumb. #RobustManualAudits

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…
The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE America Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which misleads bc most Real IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship & thus won’t suffice.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Rs are using public confusion over Real ID to advance their deceptive Save America Act. In reality, for most voters, a Real ID will *not* suffice to prove citizenship under the Act—even if they presented a birth certificate to get it. Tell ur Senators #NoOnSAVE. 202-224-3121 1/
The GOP’s “SAVE Act” has a list of approved citizenship documentation for voters. It includes Real IDs that “indicate citizenship,” which is highly misleading bc most REAL IDs *don’t* indicate citizenship, per the DHS.
The list also does *not* include marriage certificates, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those w/ passports or Enhanced Drivers Licenses that do match). #NoOnSAVE #ProtectOurVotes 1/
Most Real IDs do *not* prove citizenship. (EDLs, which are available in only 5 states are an exception) The GOP’s “SAVE” Act thus misleads when it says voters can prove citizenship w/ “ID issued consistent w/ the reqmts of…REAL ID…that indicates the applicant is a citizen…” 1/
