.@ThinkTN’s claim that BMD paper trails are an election security “best practice” is disinformation. @TNLookout 1/

2/ Contrary to @ThinkTN’s claim (below), it matters how the lpaper trails” are produced. BMD “paper trails” are NOT an election-security best practice per many (likely most) election-security experts. It is alarming that an @BrennanCenter attorney RTd this disinformation. 2/

Paper ballots marked by hand with a pen (exception for voters with disabilities) ARE an election-security best practice. Paper trails marked for the voter by a machine (such as a BMD) are NOT. 3/

Both organizers of Defcon agree that BMD paper trails are NOT an election-security best practice. 4/

Ditto Verified Voting. Why does @BrennanCenter ignore the data and experts on this issue. Seriously. Why? 5/
