Voting machine vendor ES&S has endangered our votes by adding cellular modems to its ballot tabulators in the past 3 years, especially in Wisconsin where the 3 largest counties have them.@WI_Elections must remove them b4 Nov! @Tony4WI @IronStache @tammybaldwin @DougLaFollette 1/
These WI counties include cellular modems in their ballot tabulators:

· Milwaukee, auditelectionsusa.org/2016/12/12/ess…
· Dane pdf.countyofdane.com/budget/2017/ex…
· Waukesha auditelectionsusa.org/2016/12/12/ess…
· St. Croix whowhatwhy.org/2016/12/14/vot…
· Washington town-jackson.com/CMS/files//Min…

2/
3/ Here's another: Douglas County.
4/ There may be more. This is just what I could find.
5/ @SEGreenhalgh is the policy director for NEDC. Here's what she has to say about Wisconsin's use of cellular modems in its election equipment.
6/ According to IT election expert Andrew Appel, these cellular modems would make it easy for a “man-in-the-middle” hacker to alter votes as they are uploaded! freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/02/22/are…
7/ We have some major races coming up in Wisconsin:
Tony Evers (D) v. evangelical Scott Walker (R) - governor
Doug LaFollette (D) v Jay Schroeder (R) - SOS
Tammy Baldwin (D) v. ? - senate
Randy Bryce (D) v. Paul Ryans (R)- #WI01
8/ I suggest we start making some noise about this now. Pls let me know if you can help, including (please) by adding the phone numbers & emails for the 6 counties referenced in this thread as a reply. TY! #ProtectOurVotes
9/ Potentially related. With our election system, no way to know for sure.
10/ Same with this.
11/ When you email WEC to demand manual election audits, please also demand the removal of the CELLULAR MODEMS in Wisconsin's vote tabulators! There is simply no excuse for such recklessness. TY. cc: @LizW1955 #ProtectOurVotes

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/
