Am I reading backwards? Ocean County NJ GOP & Democrats fight over voting machines - The Rs want to buy from Dominion & the Ds want to buy from ES&S.
It does not appear that either wants #PenAndPaper. They want machines to mark the “paper ballots”. 😳 1/ app.com/story/news/loc…

2/ My piece re: concerns with ES&S. link.medium.com/TVavGrswXib
3/ IMO, no matter what vendor supplies them, ballot marking devices (touchscreens that mark your paper ballot for you), as opposed to #PenAndPaper, are asking for trouble. I’ve been warning about them for years. Here’s my YouTube PSA.
4/ It appears from the article that the Dominion BMD voting machines have removed the barcode from the BMD printout, whereas the ES&S BMD voting machines have not. Removing the barcode is good, but #PenAndPaper (exception for voters with disabilities) is still less risky imo. 
5/ One of my articles on the risks of BMDs. nybooks.com/daily/2019/12/…
6/It appears the current kerfuffle is over new voting machines for early voting. They are sticking with whatever they already have for Election Day.
7/ The New Jersey Democrats in the County have accused Dominion and the NJ GOP of a pay-for-play scheme but refuse to provide any evidence, which is weird.
8/ Article in post 1 by @Erik_Larsen.
10/ The argument may be that it is too difficult to use #PenAndPaper for early voting, but I don’t bur e that to be true. It can, for example, be done w/ ballot on demand printers, which are better than BMDs imo, though not ideal either. Thoughts, @MarilynRMarks1 & @TheBradBlog?
12/ This article provides more specifics about the alleged donations made by a Dominion representative to the NJ GOP, but does not provide links or screenshots. It just references “campaign finance” reports. shorenewsnetwork.com/2021/08/03/oce…
