California voters: Election officials say it is OK to use insecure voting machines as long as there is a paper record that can be audited. But CA senators will vote TOMORROW on #AB2125, which will implement audits lacking basic transparency protocols needed to deter fraud. 1/
As explained in the PETITION OPPOSING AB2125 (linked at the end of this Thread), the following groups & individuals oppose or have withdrawn support of #AB2125 based on this lack of transparency & related concerns:
* The League of Women Voters,
* The Voting Rights Task Force, 2/
* Common Cause, and
* UCB Professor Philip Stark (who invented post-election Risk Limiting Audits).

I have attached a screenshot of a letter from the California League of Women Voters expressing these concerns about #AB2125, California's terrible election audit bill. 3/

California voters! Election officials say that "paper" makes it OK to use hackable voting machines bc the paper can be audited. But UCB Statistics Professor @philipbstark says the audit procedure proposed in #AB2125 is UNACCEPTABLE. There will be a vote this Tuesday, June 19! 1/
2/ The Senate Elections Commitee will vote on Audit Bill #AB2125. In its current form, the bill wld officials to call their audits "Risk Limiting Audits," even though they would not meet the statistical and transparency requirements of real Risk Limiting Audits per @philipbstark.
3/ Please call the Committee members and demand that they amend #AB2125 to require real Risk Limiting Audits as outlined in @philipbstark's letter of June 15, 2018. Contact info. in next post.
