Per election-security expert @HarriHursti, the manufacturers of new touchscreen voting machines (BMD) did not make them secure, which is a huge mistake. Altho BMDs use paper, security still matters bc most races are not audited meaningfully or at all. 1/
Regardless of paper, denial of service attacks on BMDs could suppress votes and change election outcomes too. 2/
This is a nice piece that discusses much of the correspondence discussed in my own piece for @whowhatwhy, while adding additional helpful background and commentary. 1/ zetter.substack.com/p/votings-hash…
.@KimZetter mentions my public records request but not my article, which covered much of this territory. She does link to it. Here it is. 2/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
I’m glad ES&S’s hash problems are getting more attention. They are a big deal and we do not have the full story because @EACgov is thus far withholding all public records of its investigation. 3/
Dear Members of Congress. Is there any way to alert Merrick Garland to this illegal destruction of public election records in Florida? Alabama does it too. This must stop. Election integrity advocates with shoe string budgets should not have to fund this fight. TY. @RonWyden@VP
PA state Senator Mastriano sent letters Wed. to “multiple counties seeking election-related equipment ‘needed 2 conduct a forensic investigation’ of the 2020 election & the 2021 primary election.”
“Mastriano sent the letters to Philadelphia, York, & Tioga Counties, he said Wednesday morning... ‘We’re looking at three counties, and if sufficient evidence comes up with shenanigans and corruption or fraud, then we’ll have a second round with additional counties…” 2/
Giuliani held a fundraiser for Mastriano and invited violent insurrectionist Sam Lazar, also of PA. These are the types of people who will be on standby during a PA #fraudit. 3/
“Russian govt hackers breached the computer systems of the Republican National Committee last week, around the time a Russia-linked criminal group unleashed a massive ransomware attack, according to two people familiar w/ the matter.” - 7/6/21
Mastriano is the guy trying to organize an Arizona-style #fraudit in PA. He has close ties to the Capitol attack. This would be more dangerous than Arizona. The Preates, who are close with “Blow everything up” Bannon, are prominent figures in the PA GOP. 1/
Wow. “A long-awaited report on the 2020 election from a GOP-controlled Michigan Senate committee recommended that Democratic AG Dana Nessel consider investigating individuals who pushed false claims ‘to raise money or publicity for their own ends.’” 1/ detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
2/ “The suggestion was among the most striking details of the Senate Oversight Committee's recap of a months-long examination of the presidential election.” The report’s main author, Sen. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, said he found "’no evidence of widespread or systematic fraud…’”
3/ "’The committee finds those promoting Antrim County as the prime evidence of a nationwide conspiracy to steal the election place all other statements and actions they make in a position of zero credibility,’ the report said.”
