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in the PETITION OPPOSING AB2125 (linked at the end of this Thread), the following groups & individuals oppose or have withdrawn support of #AB2125 based on this lack of transparency & related concerns: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/

Here is a link to a more detailed letter from UC Berkeley Professor Philip Stark, who invented Risk Limiting Audits, likewise expressing concern about California's election audit bill #AB2125. drive.google.com/file/d/0B-j7Os…

SURPRISINGLY, NATIONAL ELECTION INTEGRITY GROUPS DO NOT HAVE MUCH, IF ANY, VOTER OUTREACH, AND IT IS THE VOTERS THAT LAWMAKERS CARE ABOUT. 5/

Thus, if we care at all about election security, we should sign the petition linked here and forward it to our friends and family in California. This is up to us. Thank you.
