😳In September, Artiles, a Republican political operative in Florida, “emailed Data Targeting's CEO & wrote, ‘I have 6 PC's [potential candidates] for independents if needed.’” He then wrote that he was “standing by for orders.” h/t @Jason_Garcia #FlaPol 5/

The tax collector’s race in
Seminole County, Florida included an apparently planted NPA candidate who tweaked his name to resemble the Dem candidate’s name (presumably to siphon away Dem votes). The NPA guy dropped out the same day Joel Greenberg did. 1/ orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives…

This likely ties into the apparently planted NPA candidate in the CD7 Florida senate race “won” by Republican Jason Brodeur, which also involves Seminole County, Florida. @orlandosentinel is investigating that race too. New article by @Scott_Maxwell. 3/ orlandosentinel.com/opinion/scott-…

“As Mindy Greene spent another day in the Covid intensive care unit, listening to the whirring machines that now breathed for her 42-year-old husband, Russ, she opened her phone and tapped out a message.
‘We did not get the vaccine,’ she wrote on Facebook.” 1/
“‘I read all kinds of things about the vaccine and it scared me. So I made the decision and prayed about it and got the impression that we would be ok.’
They were not.” 2/
“Her husband, the father to their four children, was now hovering between life and death, tentacles of tubes spilling from his body. The patient in the room next to her husband’s had died hours earlier.” 3/

In 2017, people in positions of public trust either lied about election security or were duped themselves.
Voters must understand that these people misled them so that they will demand evidenced-based elections, rather than blind trust. By @jennycohn1 1/ link.medium.com/OGxaTe26hib
I’m painfully aware of Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. But these lies do not justify ignoring legitimate concerns about election security. Nor do they provide a free pass to others who have spread misinformation. 2/
With the 2022 election just around the corner, election security fact verses fiction matters more than ever. 3/

“‘The implication of our study is that it’s extremely unsafe [to use Ballot Marking Devices],’” per election security expert @jhalderm
Link: washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost…

.@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/ Image
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/

I haven’t read this yet, but will comment when I do. It sure wld be nice if @TheJusticeDept took action re: the destruction of ballot images (public records) in at least 8 Florida counties, including Miami Dade, Palm Beach, Broward, & Seminole. Ordinary citizens shld not have…1/
… to sue election officials to preserve public records. But that’s exactly what’s happening. Where has @TheJusticeDept been all this time?! 2/

The findings of @GASecofState’s secret study of Georgia’s controversial new touchscreen voting machines (BMDs) are similar to a 2004 study of DRE’s with so-called Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails (VVPATs), which are now widely disfavored due 2 concerns about verifiability. 1/
Screenshot re the 2004 VVPAT study. 2/ usenix.org/legacy/events/…
.@GaSecofState’s study didn’t even reach the question of what percent of voters will be able to notice and report inaccuracies caused by the BMDs in marking their “paper ballots” for them. But other studies of VVPATS and BMDs suggest the percent is unacceptably low. 3/
