Update re: #OH12 screenshots! To look for anomalies that might provide the basis for election challenges, we should start taking screenshots every 5 minutes or so of results as they are updated on the Secty of State websites. Here are mine from #OH12: drive.google.com/file/d/17j2eG1… 1/
2/ The results compiled by other folks re: the #OH12 special election can be found on ProtectOurVotes.com. protectourvotes.com/oh12-election-…
3/ This was kind of a test run, and we haven't even had a chance to comb through the results to see if there was in fact anything anomalous (like vote totals going DOWN). Please take a look and let us know if you see anything abnormal.
4/ Even without analyzing the results for statistical anomalies, I can say several things I've learned. First, it's best to take screenshots from your phone bc your phone will show the time. I started doing this about 30 minutes into the process. Initially, I was typing in...
5/ ... the time because I was doing the screenshots on my laptop. The only problem with doing it on my iphone instead, is that I had to do multiple frames to catch all the counties. Not a problem for those taking screenshots from a particular county's website.
6/ But I prefer the Secretary of State updated results because it allows you to eyeball multiple counties at once (not just one). When I enlisted volunteers, I did not know if the Secretary of State would post bc, when I called, the person I spoke with did not know.
7/ If I had to choose where to screenshot, I'd say just do it from the Secretary of State website. That said, it might be useful to see if the results on the individual county websites match those on the Secretary of State websites. They obviously should.
8/ Please let us know if you see anything anomalous in these screenshots. I got very much sidetracked when @tytinvestigates asked me to do the Kansas story. Which is why I haven't had a chance to look.
9/ Thank you so much to @SwissTriple_M for organizing and uploading all of these results to ProtectOurVotes.com!
10/ And thank you to all the folks who helped with this project!! We would like to try it again in another special election. So please keep an eye out for that. Thank you! #ProtectOurVotes #StrongerTogether
11/ P.S. Another lesson learned from this project is that it's a lot more "user friendly" to read the results if we save the individual screenshots into a single document, as shown in post 1.
12/ BTW, the only reason I posted my screenshots first is because I had asked volunteers to screenshot the individual counties. Once I saw on Election Night that the Secretary of State's website was going to post all counties in one place, I started doing that. So mine...
13/ … just happened to be the most comprehensive. And going forward, I will likely suggest that we focus on the Secretary of State websites more than the individual county websites, although (as noted) there may still be value in doing both.

Study shows that people of all political persuasions are willing to modify their beliefs based on corrective info from reliable sources, but “subjects ‘re-believed’ the false info when retested a week later.” 1/ news.northeastern.edu/2018/06/18/tir…
2/ The author of the article says It may help to warn people in advance that they are likely to forget the correction bc “this helps them mentally tag the bogus information as false.”
3/ It’s also “important that the corrective information be repeated as frequently, and with even greater clarity, than the myth.”

I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but elections have been electronically suspect starting long before the Trump/Russia scandal. This article is lulling folks into a false sense of security, which is dangerous. Domestic hackers & insiders were always an equal threat. 1/

I agree, tho not enuf time (and 0 political will) to do this in Nov. Wish it were different. For now I hope to stop states from doubling up on electronics w/ touchscreen ballot markers. Using electronics to count votes is bad enuf. Having them mark our ballots too is nuts. 1/
Nuts except for those who are unable to hand mark their ballots. Once you have hand marked paper ballots they can be either scanned or hand counted (my preference) or both. 2/
Any time u put a machine between the voter and the paper record of voter intent there is an opportunity for programming mischief. Here is just the latest example.: 3/

I’m hoping some of the cyber experts who signed the letter about the risks of using cellular modems to transfer election results can answer this question. Thx! @philipbstark @SEGreenhalgh @rad_atl @jhalderm
P. 79 describes the modem elections.wi.gov/sites/default/…
Seeing as no one has answered yet, I will say that even if the cellular modems CAN be configured to bypass the internet, we should not have to blindly trust that vendors or whoever else is hired to set them up will do that. 1/

Kathy Rogers, the face & voice of @ESSVote, which has installed CELLULAR MODEMS in tabulators in WI & FL, is cozying up to @DHSgov which refuses to advise states to remove the modems despite a letter from 30 cyber experts & EI groups stating it should do so. #CorruptElections 1/
Here’s the letter. drive.google.com/file/d/1-Fd8a8… 2/

The notion that cellular modems affect only “unofficial” results is bogus bc, among other reasons, in certain jurisdictions, unofficial results become the official results once added to absentees & provisionals—sometimes w/o ever comparing them to the precinct results tapes! 1/
And Wisconsin doesn’t even require that counties publicly post the results tapes so that the public itself can make this comparison! (I don’t know about Florida, Michigan, & Illinois.) 2/
Thus, we must simply trust that someone trustworthy is conducting this due diligence. In Johnson County, Kansas, the County acknowledged that it does NOT conduct this basic due diligence. 3/
