There are concerns that the #election2024results have far more votes for #Trump than for each #Republican Senator in the same state. We did an exhaustive study of 17 states & found it true. We've released our study of this pattern we call #dropoff #SEDATA
open.substack.com/pub/smartelect…Image The #dropoffvote differences are enormous in the #SwingStates & still sizable in non-swing states. When combined together they total 1.2 million votes, more than half the presidential margin of victory. And this is only 17 states. If we analyzed them all, it would be much more. Image

"#Voters wouldn’t be able to examine their ballots using the machines, and their thermal paper records have been shown to become unreadable in six months. What could go wrong?"
@_rebeccaclewis does a superb & fair job showing the #ExpressVoteXL problems.
cityandstateny.com/policy/2023/07… Here it the full letter to @NYSBOE showing what happens to the #ExpressVoteXL summary card (there is no #ballot) when it comes in contact with hand sanitizer. #TotalMeltdown What happens in a #recount?

Thread #VVSG2
1. "The Election Assistance Commission on Wednesday voted to adopt the first comprehensive update to its voting system security guidelines in more than 15 years, concluding a lengthy process that ended with a mixed reception from some election security experts." 2. @SMART_elections wrote a letter to @EACgov that hundreds of others sent as well asking for a number of requirements,including:
- create a panel of technical election security experts, separate from NIST staff, with no financial relationship to vendors

Thread on @washingtonpost article that mentions @SMART_elections extensively.
1. "Voting machines didn’t steal the election. But most are still terrible technology."

washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0… 2. "a tech backwater, the voting machine industry has been sustained through inertia and sweetheart deals ... One hurdle to reform is that the industry is dominated by three players — Election Systems & Software...Dominion Voting (30 percent); and Hart InterCivic (15 percent)."

Thread 1. Lawsuit being filed in #Florida today to force #election officials to preserve digital images of #ballots. Digital ballot images are photos of the ballot made when the ballot is scanned. New generation scanners create these images automatically.
drive.google.com/file/d/1yekUWk… 2. Fun Fact: Scanners don't count the paper ballot. They take a photo (the digital ballot image) & count info from that photo. So the digital ballot image is part of the chain of custody of the vote & must be preserved. Courts in AZ confirmed this. This is a digital ballot image.
