The Ninjas are a parody of America’s opaque privatized voting system. What makes u think ES&S is less partisan or more trustworthy than the Ninjas? Remember how it lied about remote access software & internet connectivity to its voting systems?1/ huffpost.com/entry/arizona-…
It is shameful that the same mainstream journalists who consider the Ninja’s partisan ties newsworthy have thumbed their noses a those of us who consider it newsworthy that ES&S has partisan ties & that Global’s Sr. VP was a convicted embezzler. (Global became Diebold) 2/
I discuss the embezzler at Global/Diebold here. Bev Harris is the one who first reported on him. 3/ nybooks.com/daily/2018/11/…
ES&S reportedly lied or misled about its secret use of remote access software. Why did this get less attention than the Ninjas?! It’s MORE important, not less. ES&S= > 44% of US election equipment. Story by Kim Zetter. 4/ vice.com/en/article/mb4…
ES&S also lied or misled about its voting systems connecting to the internet. Why did this get less attention than the Ninjas?! Again, it is MORE important, not less?! 5/ nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
What if the Republican state lawmakers who hired the Ninjas and are attacking Roe v Wade and trying to turn the US into a theocracy were not legitimately elected themselves?! Most of their races were not audited meaningful or at all. What a sh#t show. 6/
Recent security issues involving ES&S. 7/
We are a deeply naive country with a deeply complicit media. ES&S’s Cybersecurity VP, Chris Wlaschin, undermined security at HHS. @carrier_dove first put him on my radar. One reporter who followed me picked up the story (without attribution) but it went nowhere. 8/
Sourced thread about Wlaschin. Let’s just say he follows Diamond and Silk. 9/ threadreaderapp.com/thread/1286091…
Remember how I reported that Texas allows ES&S to ** check itself ** to confirm that ES&S software updates don’t include vote stealing malware? MSM yawned. 10/. whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
I wrote this about ES&S. Why would anyone trust ES&S more than the Ninjas?! No one vets America’s voting machine vendors. It is a Lord of the Flies situation. 11/ link.medium.com/B5FtRuE5bhb
13/ I’m not saying the intense scrutiny of the Ninjas is inappropriate. It is appropriate and crucial! What I am saying is that the MSM has utterly failed us by failing to provide the same level of intense scrutiny to America’s privatized voting system.
14/ IMHO, the MSM brought us to this point by not demanding transparency.

Do you really think ES&S is supervised? News flash: It’s not. Hell, Texas even let ES&S ** check itself ** to confirm that it hasn’t installed vote stealing software. The EAC supposedly investigated ES&S but won’t produce documents. 1/
My piece about how Texas has allowed ES&S to police itself. How exactly is this better than the Ninjas? 2/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
ES&S secretly installed remote access software and secretly connected voting systems to the internet and yet THAT receives less media attention than the Ninjas. It is a huge media fail. By Kim Zetter 3/ vice.com/en/article/mb4…

To those who think you’d have to be “nuts” to believe results generated by the Ninjas, consider this. Why do so many Americans believe unaudited electronic results generated by machines supplied by ES&S w/ its partisan ties, secret remote access software, & secretly internet..1/
… connected voting systems? Why have so many people believed results generated by paperless unauditable voting systems from Global/Diebold whose VP of programming was a convicted embezzler whose crimes involved computer tampering? 2/ wired.com/2003/12/con-jo…
Why do those respected journalists who write about our insecure election system—and are therefore aware of the concern—mostly fall silent? @PaulKrugmam wrote about it here. Not a word since, as far as I can tell. It’s made America stupid. 3/ nytimes.com/2003/12/02/opi…

My goals: To prevent Ds from conceding more poll-defying losses without verifying their legitimacy and, if possible, to determine whether their poll-defying losses in 2020 were legitimate. This will require (a) legislation; and/or (b) election challenges. 1/
This will require a sea change in the current (bogus) election security narratives which are: (a) from Democrats - “our elections are secure”; (b) from Republicans - “who knew elections were insecure? Storm the Capitol!” 2/
How to change narrative & achieve goals: find a publisher for my illustrated election-security book & get it out before the midterms. Maybe a documentary. I still think the book is the best bet. Other ideas? 3/

If we won’t publicly hand count ballots at precincts then maintaining a transparent chain of custody is crucial. Unfortunately, this is more difficult w/ vote by mail than in person voting. I’m told it can be done. We must make it a priority. Peoples’ lives are being threatened.
The difficulty maintaining a transparent chain of custody does not mean that fraud has occurred. It means you can’t prove that it hasn’t. Which is dangerous under current circumstances especially.

“1 in 3 election officials report feeling unsafe, new survey finds”

To avoid further disaster, officials must make elections much more transparent. Before the election, most election security experts agreed that our elections are not transparent. 1/ nbcnews.com/politics/elect…
I am NOT excusing the abhorrent conduct of Trump & his minions. But I am saying that lack of transparency opens the door to a charlatan falsely claiming that an election has been rigged. I and others warned about this before the 2020 election. 2/
There is safety in transparency. 3/
