.@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

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.
