GA counties, SOS, and St. Elec. Bd. did nothing to improve their failure to provide ballot secrecy. The post below is still important. How many Nov. 2024 voters couldn't vote their true choice? (Most posts now on @marilynrmarks.bsky.social.)

3/ The bipartisan co-petitioners include: Salleigh Grubbs @1stVCGAGOP @dufort_jeanne (Chair. Morgan Dems) Mike St. Louis (DeKalb voter) They approached this with precision and nonpartisan goals. They succeeded. Now tell SEB to vote "YES."

2/ The rule is a definition for both terms to help officials decide when it's necessary to go to back-up paper ballots counted by scanner rather than using the touchscreens to mark votes. The 30 day period will allow public and lawmaker input. Please support this logical rule.

Defining when it is "impossible" or "impracticable" to use Georgia's voting system components--- A bi-partisan rule petition is up for St. Elec. Bd. vote tomorrow to go into 30+ day rule making process. Copy here-- 1/ https://t.co/kMJEiTUP2I https://t.co/zz5MQJcvdP

5/ For informative irrefutable background start with this report by @philipbstark

4/ No one should want to repeat the mess that was created in 2020, nor permit the illegitimate "short-cuts" taken by the SOS, that undercut the credibility of the process. Continuing such processes doesn't serve any party--only chaos.

3/ 🫏🫏 D's need to take off their blindfolds and be willing to see the cold hard facts of significant troubling discrepancies in the vote counts and control processes. And try to understand why R's are so frustrated about the lack of resolution.

2/🐘🐘 R's need to stop the baseless exaggerations and unproven outlandish claims and focus on the genuine material accuracy and accountability issues with evidence, and advocate for needed reforms.

This festering wound of GA's 2020 election is not likely to heal until both D's & R's agree to a process that would deal with the facts, and seek solutions. Both "sides" are misguided and fueled by partisan positions, not facts, that could actually create future improvement. 1/

This!👇In today's polarized politics elections demand fair, trustworthy processes. It's encouraging to see bipartisan support for hand marked paper ballots - the most secure and reliable way to record votes. Please read this excellent oped from opposing party leaders in GA.

Yep. And there’s more than one way to skin a 🐈‍⬛ cat. Let’s agree on what we can agree on and get our elections straight. Georgia deserves better. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

"Most days, we’re political frenemies. Election season? We scrap like cats in a sack...." Read the entertaining, but important BIPARTISAN (!!) op-ed on securing the 2026 election. Then, write the St. Elec. Bd. with your support. hcoan@seb.ga.gov ⬇️

Indeed this is good news! This pilot can benefit all voters and candidates by having an evidence-based election which can truly be audited. Can help GA prepare for Hand Marked Ballots in 2026, demonstrating the security and audit-worthy nature of such elections!

Tomorrow the Blue Ribbon Comm on Elections will consider recommending Hand Marked Ballot Pilot program for Nov PSC & local elections. It paves the way for progress to trustworthy ballots and elections. Please support.

A Way Out of Gerrymandering’s Mutually Assured Destruction

6/ In general, the SEB has done almost nothing to improve or recommend improvements to election security. Leadership appears to be security vulnerability DENIERS.

5/ You can read why @jhalderm finds there is significant evidence of erroneous QR code risk here. Why does Fervier say this doesn't exist? https://t.co/Bgvtaysv8B

4/ Fervier has led the St. Elec. Bd. in refusing to adopt any rules to require security incidents, unauthorized software access, etc. to be reported by counties. He has led board to repeatedly ignore election security. Although they should outvote him and do the right thing!

3/ Apparently, even @CISAgov 's advisory is not even credible to Fervier.

2/ St. Elec. Bd. had @jhalderm report (below) proving QR code manipulation risk since July 2021, then sealed. Fervier, a defendant in our Curling case, did not refute the QR code evidence in court. SEB expert agreed with Halderman. Now Fervier insists there's no evidence???

GA Elec. Bd Chair John Fervier gaslights attendees at Carter Center claiming ballot QR code concern is “ridiculous." Claims “no shred of evidence” QR codes can be wrong or altered! Unacceptable disinformation from SEB Chair! 1/ 🧵 https://t.co/MdxOnhSBMv
