32/ For too many, the status quo has long been to soft peddle the truth about election system vulnerabilities. It was getting better. But the Big Lie set it way back on the left.
33/ Examples of my trying to speak truth to power - even to those in power on the left.

On 10/12/20, Fox agreed to pay millions of dollars to the family of Seth Rich, implicitly acknowledging that Fox had spread the lie that Rich had leaked DNC emails to Wikileaks in 2016. Fox insisted the settlement remain confidential until > the election. nytimes.com/2021/01/17/bus…
Indicted Proud Boy organizer Joe Biggs helped spread this lie. I’m working on a Proud Boys piece, which is how I stumbled upon the article. I’d missed the news about the settlement.

Biggs also spread Pizzagate (the lie that HRC was running a pedophile ring in a pizzeria). 1/
So Joe Biggs is not just a big thug. He’s also a big liar. He’s Alex Jones’ and Roger Stone’s puppet. 2/

Actually, Democrats wanted hand marked paper ballots (pen & paper), but Rs refused and went with the machine marked kind. Rs chose Dominion, which was a relief, bc Georgia previously had Diebold/ES&S, which had issues with vote flipping & losing votes from black neighborhoods. 1/
I discussed problems & concerns with Georgia’s old Diebold/ES&S voting system & w/ its voter registration system here. 2/ jennycohn1.medium.com/neither-trump-…
The thing is, any touchscreen system, whether its ES&S or Dominion, is asking for trouble imo. They must receive programming from centralized systems that are themselves vulnerable. 3/

Yes. I still strongly advise hand marked paper ballots (pen and paper), rather than either: (a) machine marked “paper ballots” (marked by a touchscreen), or (b) paperless. I took a break from election security as my main focus for several reasons. First…. 1/
… it became a very negative space for me. This is the last published (outside of Medium) article that I wrote. It deserved a lot more attention than it got. The Big Lie effectively ruined advocacy in this area. It was already very uphill. 2/ whowhatwhy.org/politics/elect…
I spent months researching and writing it, which overlapped with my father dying and the book draft I needed to be writing to make a deadline. The book deal on election security then fell through, another crushing blow. 3/

September 2020: “Trump basically said to go fuck them up. This makes me so happy.” — Joe Biggs, Proud Boy leader (now indicted) 1/

3/ Biggs attended the 2016 RNC in Cleveland as a “reporter” for Alex Jones. Here’s a link to a video where he and Alex Jones led a chant of “Hillary for Prison.” Turns out he’s the one facing prison time.

Hopefully, this story is “cover” and, behind the scenes, @January6thCmte and @TheJusticeDept are speaking with Frank Scavo about his ties to Trump, Bannon, the #MAGAMoonies & January 6. But I’m not optimistic. 1/ #papol
I wrote about Frank Scavo and why @January6thCmte must subpoena him here. 2/ jennycohn1.medium.com/what-did-steve…

“To draw such [large] crowds,” Ali Alexander “made clear Stop the Steal would collaborate with anyone who supported its cause, no matter how extreme their views.
