3/5 The winning case is built around multiple public records requests that I did & one that @Tim_Canova and I filed together. I wanted to examine #ballots in his race due to statistical irregularities a #data team I led found in the #election results hollerbackfilm.com/blog/wass-can
5/5 It demonstrates the important place that #PublicrRecordsRequests & the review and verification of #election documents play in the process. The public has a right to evidence that the results as certified are accurate. This ruling moves us forward toward that goal.

Thread 1. @BrianLehrer I am shocked to hear @JohnKerry admit that they suspected the algorithm of the voting machines in Ohio was manipulated in 2004 & yet they did not challenge the results. AND THEY SAID NOTHING.
2. Those of us who researched the 2004 Ohio election for years & concluded that the results were in all likelihood not accurate - needed someone of @JohnKerry's stature to speak out - yet he did not until now. He allowed ppl to call it a #conspiracytheory & said nothing.
3. An excerpt from my documentary demonstrating that in most counties in Ohio in the 2004 election the handcount did not match the machine count. hollerbackfilm.com/film-clips-1/ Many activists & a few journalists have worked for years to get this message out. Where was @JohnKerry?
1/4 WHY WE CAN'T MAKE PROGRESS ON #ELECTIONSECURITY@CNBC!! Because of constant misrepresentation of facts by media outlets like YOU cnbc.com/2018/08/17/how… "it's actually quite difficult for outsiders to directly manipulate votes/voting machines aren't connected to the internet"
1. The #SecureElectionsAct is being postponed & WATERED DOWN
"Blunt unveiled his amended version of the legislation last week, which removes the initial version's requirement that states conduct post-election #audits w/ paper records." thehill.com/policy/cyberse… via @secureourvotes
2. #Audits are not an optional side issue to leave off, like deciding not to have fries with your burger. AUDITS are the central component of how we need to verify elections. This is like pizza with no cheese, and no crust. It is just tomato sauce.
3. When you see the latest video I've produced about how easy it is to hack optical scanners you will understand. You will really really understand why we need audits. Coming soon...
Thread 3/7 "The voting machine calls the county-central computer using its cell-phone modem... this connects ... to a cell tower ... near the canvassing computer." #PaperBallots#AuditTheVote
