What kind of state still allows paperless voting machines? Oh yeah. That would be Texas. Focus on your own problems, @tedcruz. Oh yeah. Texas also lets ES&S **check itself** to ensure that ES&S hasn’t installed vote stealing software. So much for “Stop the Steal.” 🙄 1/
I wrote about Texas’s election-security problems involving ES&S here. 2/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
A few months b4 the 2020 election, Texas attorneys & examiners were shocked & horrified to discover what ES&S had been allowed to do in TX. I obtained these documents via a public records request, but TX has since withheld other public records on this issue. So has @EACgov. 3/
4/ Another piece of mine re: ES&S. link.medium.com/2OhDMJdrjhb

This is a remarkable story. Miami Dade may not be the only Florida county in which the GOP planted a fake candidate to siphon off votes from a Democratic candidate for state legislature. It happened in Seminole county too. But the local prosecutor there won’t investigate. 😳 1/
Fortunately, @Scott_Maxwell and @orlandosentinel are on the case. I recommend following Maxwell and whatever he and others uncover in Seminole county. 2/ ImageImage
Seminole county is the county where the infamous Joel Greenberg (of Matt Gaetz infamy) is from. It appears the rot there may run deep and wide. 3/

Part of the reason “fraudits” have spun out of control is that official audits are inadequate. In 2018, the left-leaning CAP gave AZ a “D” on election security, based in part on its lame audit law. Ironically, Maricopa’s audits are somewhat better than the rest of the state. 1/
The non-right wing media is ignoring the sorry state of official audits. But that sorry state is already a matter of official record. We can’t fight fraudits by pretending Arizona’s official audits are great because they aren’t. 2/ cdn.americanprogress.org/content/upload…
When elected officials pretend otherwise, they are lying. And when people learn their government has lied to them, they become much more vulnerable to tinfoil theories like #BambooGate. 3/

In Maricopa, the official Cast Vote Record broke down the vote tally into batches of about 200/box. Rather than do batch by batch comparisons using the CVR, the Ninjas insisted on creating different batches, making any discrepancies impossible 2 trace. 1/ laprogressive.com/cyber-ninjas-a…
In other words, the Ninjas could have hand counted each of the officially reported batches, making it possible to easily check their claims re: any discrepancies. That they don’t want to do that is a serious transparency problem. 2/
As it stands, the Ninjas can come up with whatever number they want, and it will be virtually impossible to double check their work without redoing the entire audit. This is dangerous. 3/

I keep toying with the idea of a bill requiring, as a condition of certifying election results, officials prove to a judge that official vote tallies weren’t hacked. This wld require manual audits & affidavits, etc as to a secure chain of custody btwn the election & the audit. 1/
This is what certification is supposed to mean, but instead there is a presumption of legitimacy that is a serious problem. If officials fail to prove legitimacy of results by a preponderance of the evidence, that wld provide basis for an election challenge & attorneys fees. 2/
Maybe civil penalties. I’m not sure if it’s workable. 3/

“Frankly, I think both of these are forms of misinformation. The one on the left, there is no credible evidence whatsoever on. The one on the right, unfortunately, is simply not true.” - Prof. Alex J. Halderman (University of Michigan). (43:43.) 1/
Finally, someone pushes back not only on Trump’s misinformation, but also on Chris Krebs’s misinformation. I would not go quite as far as Halderman. I believe certain aspects were more secure than before (eg, voter registration systems), but that vote tallies remained exposed. 2/
The vulnerability of vote tallies was especially pronounced for races OTHER THAN the race for President bc most of those races are not audited at all. The presidential race received far more scrutiny. 3/

Eek. Chris Anderson, the supervisor of elections in Seminole County, Florida (appointed by Ron DeSantis) is very close to Joel Greenberg of Matt Gaetz/underage girl/Roger Stone infamy. Greenberg once gave Anderson an $85k contract. What cld go wrong? Thread. #ProtectOurVotes
