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/
This is a nice piece by Steve Rosenfeld. I hope I summarized it right. I believe I did. I spoke with Steve on the phone about this not long ago and he explained it to me. 4/
.@clearballot - do I have this right? 5/
That the Ninjas didn’t use the CVR initially is not in itself suspicious. I don’t think anyone knew initially how to trace the batches shown on the CVR to the physical boxed batches. Once they found out, however, they refused to shift gears, which I find unsettling. 6/

.@SemDems - This press conference seems important re: Ron DeSantis and the state of Florida’s failure to investigate crimes (including election crimes) emanating from Joel Greenberg’s tenure in the Seminole County tax assessor’s office.

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/
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/

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/

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/
