“An immediate concern of top officials is Russia's efforts to interfere with the mechanics of voting and tabulation.” via @peterdau #handmarked #paperballots #PaveAct axios.com/summit-sneak-p… 1/

Call, write, & email ur state & county election officials and demand HAND MARKED PAPER BALLOTS--not COMPUTER MARKED paper ballots--counted manually or on optical scanners. Tell them the scanners should NOT HAVE MODEMS and to avoid the ES&S DS200, which come w/ cellular modems! 2/

Senator Wyden’s #PaveAct is the ONLY federal election security bill that requires states (a) to give voters the option to mark their ballots by HAND & (b) to conduct real Risk Limiting Audits for every federal race. Demand that ur Members of Congress pass it now! cc @ronwyden 3/

If you think COMPUTER printed paper printouts are “voter verifiable” and thus an acceptable substitute for #handmarked #paperballots, you have been misled like most of the country. Please read this Thread.

Here is my article explaining that vendors, election officials & even some election integrity groups mislead when they refer 2 paper summary cards from touchscreen ballot markers as “paper ballots.” These are NOT paper ballots & NOT a rzbl substitute! medium.com/@jennycohn1/pr… 5/

Here’s my sourced article explaining that IT experts who recommended so-called “Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails” didn’t bother 2 conduct usability testing 2 see if voters & auditors cld & wld use them successfully. It turns out they can’t and don’t! medium.com/@jennycohn1/to… 6/

Quote from IT election expert Harri Hursti that sums up the “Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail” scam.

@LuluFriesdat’s investigative expose shows why Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails & summary cards—some misleadingly call them “paper ballots”—from touchscreen ballot markers like ES&S’s ExpressVote are NOT a rzbl substitute 4 #handmarked #paperballots.

Re: the #PaveAct discussed in post 3, demand also that Members of Congress change the effective date of the #handmarked #paperballots clause to 11/1/2018. All or most states already use scanners 4 absentee ballots. Thus, they can use these scanners or hand count 4 the midterms 9/

The current effective date is 2020, which is too late for the midterms. As explained in Post 9, there is no legit reason that even paperless states cannot use #handmarked #paperballots in the midterms. Thus, we must demand that the effective date be moved up to 11/1/2018. 10/

Election integrity advocate @MarilynRMarks1–whose lawsuit in Georgia demands the use of #handmarked #paperballots in the midterms—has long explained that even paperless states like GA can and must use #handmarked #paperballots in the midterms!

IT election experts @duncanbuell (University of SC), Rich DeMillo (Georgia Tech), & Candice Hoke (legal and cyber expert) explain in this USA Today op-Ed how all states must and, yes, CAN transition to real #paperballots in time for the midterms!
