1/ Athens-Clarke is coming to terms with the fact that the new scanners chosen by SOS are not counting all the votes. The Elec. Bd. has called emergency meeting. They are the first county we are aware of to take initiative to deal with this serious matter. See thread ⬇️

Here's a bit about our lawsuit against GA's new voting law. It covers different dangerous provisions the new DOJ lawsuit doesn't address. We are gravely concerned about the state's ability to take over bipartisan county boards. Thanks, @jennycohn1 !

The DOJ’s lawsuit against Georgia’s voter suppression bill is crucial. But it does not address the election board takeover provisions. The only lawsuit that does was filed by @MarilynRMarks1 & her nonprofit @CoalitionGoodGv . 1/

This thread by @jennycohn1 explains why Barcode balloting is terrible idea. Bottom line = these new Ballot Marking Devices produce elections that cannot be audited. No improvement over paperless DREs. cc: @rad_atl

States are flocking to ballot marking devices that mark ur "paper ballot" for u & add a barcode that can be rigged to cz scanners to flip votes. @VerifiedVoting says this is ok, as long as we conduct Risk Limiting Audits, but science proves otherwise! 1/

GA voters-- Let this sink in. For months now, SOS and St. Elec. Bd. have had strong evidence the statewide system software was copied by unauthorized actors who can use it to launch undetectable attacks on Nov. 2022 election. SOS response-- use the compromised system. 🤔 1/

Important new developments. The apparent copying of GA election software, facilitated by Coffee County insiders, has deep connections to similar efforts in Michigan. Risk to future elections seems clear - time for SEB to act to reduce the risk. Authorize emergency paper ballots.

Election officials---Here's a tip--- Paper ballots don't "flip" votes. Stop putting computers between a voter and his ballot!! Every county in GA had the authority to use paper ballots this year. Not one of them would!

Reports: Votes in Texas, Georgia are being changed at polls

Older or buggy voting machines are being blamed.

Georgia voters beware! Two new voting system bills have bi-partisan support in GA House and Senate. (HB848/SB403). Both permit electronic voting, and audits are not practical under the bills. They permit barcodes instead of voter-marked paper ballots. Bills should be killed.

I just don't get it. Neither of the major parties seems to give a darn about protecting the voting system from compromise. It is like they are inviting vote rigging supporting the most non-transparency, hackable machines they can buy. GA's State Elex Bd.seems not to care.

If you are interested in GA's Senate runoffs, there is something you can do to help--at no cost. Write the GA St. Elec. Board and ask that they secure the Jan. election with hand marked paper ballots and audits. They need to be slammed with thousands of letters. ⬇️

GA counties cannot solve the touchscreen ballot secrecy problems and install the minimum number of machines simultaneously. Only legal solution is hand marked paper ballots. Other counties should follow Athens’s lead immediately.

I think that if the only test of "legitimacy" is a measure of voter suppression, we have missed a huge point. The election was conducted on flawed and unreliable machines with no way to verify the outcome. We already see many anomalies in the data. How can that be "legitimate?"
