🎙 On this #ElectionDay, I'm excited to share an important episode of my podcast with Donna Curling, a relentless advocate for secure voting, to discuss her ongoing case, Curling v. Raffensperger. Her story is one of resilience and dedication. 🔗 https://t.co/JgyNA1C96T

Remarkably @GaSecofState own #cybersecurity consultant and former White House CIO advised that a US election hack isn’t an IF, but a WHEN. This isn’t crazy conspiracy nonsense. It’s a real threat. Raffensperger’s approach to #ElectionIntegrity is reckless and unlawful.

Calling for reasonably secure elections in GA doesn’t make one an election denier or a conspiracy theorist. It’s the right thing to do for voters. Those who oppose reasonable election security like @GaSecofState ignore science and reality and needlessly put voters at risk.

Voters deserve a transparent, software-independent, reasonably secure election system with voter-verified, paper ballots. That there’s been no known election-altering hack doesn’t mean the system is secure. A bridge can look safe … until it falls. Voters need true security.

The claim that GA has the most “tested voting system in the country” is especially misleading. @GabrielSterling admits @GaSecofState *doesn’t know* if the system has been compromised via 2021 Coffee County breach. SOS refuses to test it for malware etc.

Inexplicably @GaSecofState refuses to implement numerous critical election security measures @CISAgov advised him to adopt a year ago to mitigate many known, serious vulnerabilities with GA’s voting system. Voters should ask why.

One wonders if @GaSecofState still doesn’t understand election security or if this is deliberately misleading. He knows hash values provide no meaningful security as @CISAgov confirmed a year ago. Voters deserve better. #ElectionIntegrity #CyberSecurity

How To Alienate Jurors 101: Start your cross w/ condescending misogyny toward alleged rape victim. Could’ve accepted the nod but had to exert control — just like his client. Not a good look. Empathy matters. #DonaldTrump #EJeanCarroll #ejeancarrolltrial

E. Jean Carroll has accused former president Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s in a New York department store dressing room. He denies the accusation.

In YCMTSU news, @Delta pilot announced at takeoff time we have too little fuel for our flight. Now he announced “the guy who fuels the planes here” at @Dulles_Airport - major internat’l airport - “didn’t show up for work today” & there’s no telling when we’ll get fuel. 🤦‍♂️ #DL0776

One thing that especially undermines elections and voter confidence is deliberate misinformation. @benadida may not know that the breach spanned many hours and days, involving numerous actors with computer science backgrounds - but @GabrielSterling must know that. Facts matter.
Thank you @benadida for being a rational expert in elections. And he’s right…the fear mongers need to stop. Their statements undermine Americans’ faith in elections…the same outcome as Trump’s stolen election claims. Often they say the same thing & reinforce each other.

Here @GabrielSterling trumpets the number of mail in ballots which are *marked by hand* — but @GaSecofState says in court HMPBs are unreliable and that’s why he forces voters to use BMDs at the polls. Which is it? Imagine if GA voters could mark ballots by hand on Election Day….
Through today 149,923 Georgians have requested their mail in absentee ballot. Including 3,475 military/overseas voters. DeKalb leads w/ 16,506 ballots requested, w/ Cobb at 15,597, Fulton at 15,477, Gwinnett at 10,831, Chatham at 5,739. #gapol #PlanYourVote

Paymaster? We’re pro bono. And if your claim is that the copying that occurred in Coffee County in January 2021 was to comply with this hold letter, that’s nonsense. Nobody at the CCBOE has said that. They testified they didn’t even know about the copying. Move along….
@Cross_Examine @benadida @MarilynRMarks1 @GabrielSterling @GaSecofState Dream on, plebe. Your paymaster is on a witch hunt to put people in jail. She did her presser knowing the litigation hold letter gave specific instructions to retain all digital records including the server. You knew, too. Put Marilyn’s 🧙 🧹 back in the closet.

There we have it. @benadida declines a conversation as expected. And send my followers after him? What, all 12 of them? The one distorting facts is the one paid by @GaSecofState & who sells his own BMDs. That’s not independence or impartiality. But it’s all @GabrielSterling has.
@Cross_Examine @GaSecofState Yes, quote tweeting me repeatedly to try to send your followers after me, distorting the facts repeatedly, and speaking with little knowledge about my work, definitely gives me confidence that you want an honest conversation. Give me a break.

Btw, I would happily sit down and have a meaningful and honest conversation with @benadida about election security. But I doubt he and @GaSecofState would ever agree to that. Let’s see if it happens.
@Cross_Examine @GaSecofState My bad for assuming you were trying to be curious and learn.

If you want “positive evidence” in elections, replace BMDs with HMPBs, which the election security community overwhelmingly supports. @GaSecofState own study found very few voters review ballots and none can review QR codes which are tabulated. Feigned tradeoffs are misleading.
@MarilynRMarks1 @Cross_Examine @GabrielSterling @GaSecofState Elections are never about perfect mathematical proofs. They're about abundance of evidence. Replacing all the BMDs adds a lot of positive evidence. That you don't even recognize that is uncharitable, and misses the point that in election administration, everything is tradeoffs.

The ol’ ad hominem from @benadida, the last resort of one with no meaningful reply. I’ve spent years learning about the Dominion BMD system and GA audits alongside the most highly regarded election security experts, eg @jhalderm. Independence matters. So do facts.

Here’s @benadida doing his best to distance himself from the BMD system he’s entrusted to audit for @GaSecofState. “We do very little,” he says. On that the election security experts agree.
@Cross_Examine @GaSecofState @jhalderm In fact even that is overstating it, we're paid to run the audit software so Georgia can audit their tabulation. We do very little. Most of the work is done by election administrators across the state of Georgia.
