NC election transparency advocate @bernstein_lynn (who is nonpartisan) was stalked 5 days > the NC Libertarian Party chair announced his plan to conduct a source code review of @ESSVote’s ExpressVote voting system. Lynn is a leading force behind the planned source code review. 1/

4/ As she said, the vehicular stalking may or may not have been related to the source code review, but this was not an isolated incident, and she is no doubt shaken by it. Read the thread.

6/ I wish the person calling for the review was a Democrat, but that is not the case. I can tell you that the review was not initiated by Trump’s people, and that it will involve @DuncanBuell, a respected election-security expert who I have interviewed myself.
7/ IMO, there are legitimate concerns about the ExpressVote (a touchscreen style voting machine that marks your ballot for you in lieu of using a pen). In 2020, the NAACP tried unsuccessfully to prevent NC from using the system. neusenews.com/index/2020/4/3…
9/ IMO, there is legitimate cause for concern about ES&S itself. I wrote about these concerns here. jennycohn1.medium.com/es-s-is-americ…
11/ And here. jennycohn1.medium.com/by-singling-ou…
12/ The certification of the ExpressVote in NC was a bit sketchy, as the head of the NC NAACP wrote here. fayobserver.com/story/opinion/…
13/ More about the ES&S ExpressVote. Can’t we just use #HandMarkedPaperBallots (with an exception for voters with disabilities)? 
14/ 👇
16/ FWIW, I don’t know Lynn’s political affiliation. But if I had to guess, I’m pretty sure she’s a Democrat. Sadly, after the Big Lie, I feel I have to say this to avoid having fellow Democrats oppose the planned source code review. IMO, we shld support it.
17/ There is almost no one on the right who I trust re: election security after the Big Lie. But I trust Lynn, & she trusts the Libertarian chair in NC who is the one seeking the review. He’s also the one w/authority to do it.
18/ Gary Sims of @WakeElections has also been bizarrely hostile to Lynn & her efforts to improve election transparency in North Carolina.

19/ @bernstein_lynn ultimately helped persuade Guilford County, NC to have voters mark their ballots with pens, rather than with the ES&S ExpressVote, saving the county $5.8 million.

20/ @bernstein_lynn also helped ensure that the selection of precincts for @NCSBE’s election audits are in fact random & transparent.
