Felons & Kickbacks & Bribes Oh My! Read this 60 pg footnoted attorney report on ES&S, Diebold, Sequoia, & Hart, & then send it to ur state & local election officials. Tell them no more touchscreens & no COMPUTER marked “paper ballots” w/ BARCODES! 1/ votersunite.org/info/VendorsPr…
Thread re: how many plan 2 replace touchscreen voting machines (which provide no means 4 voters 2 know if their vote was recorded correctly) w/ touchscreen ballot markers (which provide no means 4 voters 2 know if their vote was recorded correctly)! 2/
By the way, many officials mislead by calling these COMPUTER marked paper records with bar codes “voter verifiable” bc they also include text. Call them on it! The only part of the paper record-which some call a “paper ballot”—actually counted as ur vote is the barcode! 3/
The ES&S ExpressVote & Dominion ImageCast are the 2 most popular versions of these touchscreen ballot markers that produce BARCODED paper printouts. Tell ur county & state to NOT buy these devices! It’s criminal that they wld even consider it! Humans can’t read barcodes! 4/
And look at the criminal history of these vendors in the attorney report in post 1! Don’t be confused that Dominion isn’t in the report, which was written in 07. Dominion was basically non-existent until it bought Sequoia in 2010 & split Diebold’s assets w/ ES&S the same year. 5/
The few times the actual criminals in charge caught media heat, they became “independent contractors” or “consultants” instead. Exception for when they had to leave to serve prison time like Michael K. Graye of Global in 2002 (Diebold’s predecessaor) 6/
Speaking of criminal, it is criminal that the state of New York went ahead and bought from ES&S and Dominion despite receiving this report! WTH?! Same with the rest of the US! ES&S & Dominion account 4 at least 80% of US voting equipment today. WTH?!! 7/
8/ Thread w/ sources for post 7 re: the stranglehold ES&S and Dominion have on the US election equipment market.
9/ Here’s a supplemental footnoted report re our mobbed up election equipment vendors. Send this one to ur state and local election officials as well. Again with the question “WTH?” votersunite.org/info/updatedve…
10/ Did I say “mob”? Yes I did. Google “Michael K. Graye” and “mob”. And as I’ve reported before, Graye’s colleague at Global (Diebold predecessor) now works for Wndalco aka Windalco owned by Oleg-ay Deripaska-ay.
11/ Don’t forget about former Diebold lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his ties to Firtash.
12/ Thread with more info on former Diebold lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his shady dealings.
13/ And I don’t say that lightly.
14/ If u live in the US, chances are your state and county use equipment from ES&S. If so, send ur state and local election officials this heavily footnoted report re the many, many reported instances of ES&S election equipment fails thru 2006. votersunite.org/info/ES&Sinthe…
15/ I believe the report in post 14 was prepared by the same attorney who prepared the other reports in this Thread. She seems 2 have stopped in 2007. I hear she may have burned out or been scared out.
16/ You can check what vendor and equipment your state and county use here. verifiedvoting.org/verifier/
17/ Again, many states and counties are replacing their current equipment with new equally worrisome equipment that produces so-called “paper ballots” with BARCODES that humans can’t read & thus can’t verify. Who would design such a system? Criminals, that’s who.
18/ HAND MARKED paper ballots are the only reasonable option. #handmarked #paperballots #NoBarcodes
#handmarked #paperballots
19/ Related point.
20/ Who would add unverifiable BARCODES to so-called “paper ballots” and sell election equipment with REMOTE ACCESS software and CELLULAR MODEMS? Criminals and ES&S, that’s who. #ProtectOurVotes @ronwyden
21/
22/ Another suggestion:
23/ PS. I have to wonder if ES&S and Diebold were ever separate companies or if that was a con too.
24/ ES&S was founded by Bob Urosevich and his brother Todd Urosevich. Bob later moved to Global/Diebold while Todd remained at ES&S. verifiedvoting.org/resources/voti…
25/ Bob Urosevich is the one who brought convicted cyberfelon Jeffrey Dean into the Global/Diebold family.

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/
