GA Recounts should not be counted using QR codes!

We filed formal request with St. Elec. Bd. today to require manual recounts as GA Law requires.

See our press release explaining the proposal. 1/
⬇️

Image 2/ GA law requires hand counts for recounts, and the law should be followed, particularly as some 2024 contests could be close and need scrutiny.

Touchscreen-generated ballots will still NOT BE TRUSTWORTHY, but at least the "official" vote--the printed text-- will be counted.

Today, @CoalitionGoodGv and @FSFP filed a complaint urging the GA St. Elec. Bd. to immediately investigate a potential voting system breach in Bibb County, GA.
We don't have many details, but with the equipment being prepared now for the upcoming primary, this merits attention! 2/ We asked SEB to immediately investigate computer scientist's claims that he had forensically examined "voting system components" in Bibb County. (He provably did so in Coffee County.)

Here is the complaint.

Sec. of St. Raffensperger is pulling out all stops to fight a court order to testify in our upcoming Curling v Raffensperger trial. Why would that be?

You can read more here, and preview the upcoming trial overview.

The disappointing GA. Bureau of Investigation report on Coffee County breaches wouldn't pass muster in jr. college Criminal Justice 101.

The intrepid @AnnaBower of @lawfare obtained a copy & published today.

Here's our take:

⬆️
conta.cc/3Sr87HV
Image 2/ The breaches occurred in Jan 2021. Raffensperger says that they were alerted shortly afterward and his investigators were "digging and digging." But he says they were lied to.
Is that why SOS has no files showing any investigation?

This "letter of invitation" from Coffee will be interesting. I hope it surfaces soon.
🧵here on what we @CoalitionGoodGv know and don't know about that.
(Learned through discovery in our Curling case.) 1/ 2/ We first l learned that "written invitation" existed when we obtained text messages from SullivanStrickler, the forensics folks that Powell paid $26K to go copy the state's software in Coffee. Image

🧵This Coffee County video posted/explained by @dufort_jeanne raises so many unanswered questions!

SOS investigator (bald guy) walks in on Lenberg who tampered with the election server to change the time/date, etc. but investigator does not investigate. Nothing to see here! 1/ 2/ We @CoalitionGoodGv began requesting video tape in March 2022, and after many denials of its existence, it is miraculously "found" in Aug. & Sept. 2022. (SOS never requested it at all!)
Even after news reports aired it, SOS/ St. Bd didn't request video. "Let GBI handle!" 😡

🧵2+ years after nation's largest voting system breach in history, copying GA statewide software that will run the 2024 elections, no one has been held to account, by local, state or federal officials. The details were exposed in our @CoalitionGoodGv lawsuit and by press. 1/ 2/ Even more important than punishing perpetrators, --need to mitigate the dangers of escaped software as we approach 2024 elections. Sec. Raffy and St. Elec. Bd. have doing NOTHING to address the high risk. They have full control and there are easy solutions, but instead... Image

Exciting news! Our @CoalitionGoodGv recent mountain of evidence filed w/ fed. court in Curling v Raffensperger case will become the initial foundation of documents for GA Tech's Cybersecurity School's Election Security Research Facility.

Press release > conta.cc/41HIVyY 2/ The mountain of evidence collected proves why the GA voting system operates at a high risk of exploitation and election subversion. We are pleased that the evidence will be available to so many professionals across the nation to further research, and inform public policy.

1/ GA Election Nerds--
GOP Senate SB221 sponsors and "Ethics" Comm. pretend to increase election audits, while proposing a meaningless audit statute.
They want political credit but not accountable elections.

Audit portion of the bill: ImageImage 2/ SOS Raffensperger was legally required to perform actual pilot RLAs (but he didn't), and was required to give the General Assembly a plan for conducting RLAs, (but he didn't). So they struck that from the law. (See strike out above.)
Can't do your legal duty? Delete the law!

Over the last week, we @CoalitionGoodGv and our co-plaintiffs have filed a massive collection of evidence on the court docket. Here's our press release with a summary of key takeaways.
If you have questions, feel free to post them here.
conta.cc/3Km70oy 1/ 2/ The documents show why it's reckless and irresponsible for the election officials to keep conducting elections on the BMD system.
Even the state's experts do not recommend the system.

🧵Some thoughts about what I expect tomorrow in GA and over the next few post-election days. The upshot--an unsettling election with many dissatisfied voters trying to make sense of things, without an evidence-based voting system to generate reliable results. 1/ 2/ Typical poll opening glitches will occur in places. Likely malfunctions will be the electronic pollbooks (PollPads) for check-in. But voters will tell reporters who don't understand, that "voting machines are down." And a little panic sets in.
Press, get it right tomorrow

We @CoalitionGoodGv reached out to the St. Elec Bd to seek an Emergency Rule to permit delayed acceptance of these ballots, treating them like military ballots. Image 2/ We hope that others are ahead of us in seeking SEB action on this. It should be a relatively simple, quick action for the board to take.
Otherwise, hopefully someone is taking this to Cobb County Superior Court to ensure these voters get ballots that can be timely returned.

Strangely, the St. Election Board and Gabe Sterling are promoting a bogus report from MITRE claiming that (IF certain conditions are met) it is hard to hack the GA BMD system. But they completely ignore the fact that the entire system was breached!
Gabe Sterling says:
1/ Image 2/ Says that if bad actors have access to the system they can manipulate it.
(Like the statewide system breach via Coffee County?)
SOS and SEB are pretending that the "bad actors" will not act badly with that copy of the system in 2022!

When @Cross_Examine states his firm has incurred huge expense in the Curling case, (where he is attorney for the 3 Curling Plaintiffs, our partners in the lawsuit), it is a great understatement!
He has invested millions of $$ on behalf of all GA voters to fight for security. 1/ 2/ I am unaware of any other law firm ever making this kind of investment on a public policy issue. And never before to vindicate constitutional rights to an accountable ballot for all voters.
When BMDs are declared unconstitutional in GA, the entire nation will benefit.

Video Clip #4
Continuing with the revealing interview of Raffensperger conducted by @richardsdoug of @11AliveNews-- Doug asked what happened in the year after SOS sent an investigator into Coffee County in May 2021 re: a potential breach. 1/ 2/ His attorneys told the Court that SOS FIRST heard about the potential breach in February 2022. But he says he had investigators "digging deep" in May 2021, but needed more fire power. He uses the excuse that there was no chair of state board and could not issue subpoenas.🙄

@richardsdoug asks the right question of Raffensperger.
"When did SOS first learn of Coffee County [breach]? "
Watch Raffensperger's answer that destroys any credibility his office had with on Coffee issue-- and see 🧵below for what they told the Court.
⁉️
1/
⬇️ 2/ "Oh very early on, " he says he learned of the Coffee 1/7/21 breach.

His attorneys told the Court on 4/7/22 & 6/7/22 that news of the breach did not reach SOS until Sterling 2/24/22 deposition and after server was replaced (6/8/21).

So "early on" or much later? Which? ImageImage

GA @GaSecofState contradicts his office's statements about Coffee County breach in jaw dropping interview by @richardsdoug of @11AliveNews.
He says investigators found in Spring 2021 server password was shared with outside company.
But his office has denied such knowledge. 1/ 2/ SOS staff has been claiming that they only learned this year of unauthorized access to the system.
They told Court they began their investigation in March 2022, but SOS says they knew about password compromise in May 2021.

Something doesn't add up!
