Superimposed images of Windham NH ballots (worst scans removed). Note horizontal folds intersecting one Dem target on front page as well as a vertical anomaly through all R targets on the back. These anomalies cause errors ( not from hacking) @WAuditors

GA voters (and press & non-profits) attending the Nov. hand "audit," and machine recount. Watch what a REAL audit looks like in NH, with experts managing, insisting on transparency. Contrast NH with GA's post-election counts with NO transparency or accountability. Link 👇1/

A glimpse of 4,8,12 years of American empire defined by identity political cabinet choices. I prefer permission to vote for more than one viable progressive pres. candidate using approval voting or next best -ranked choice.
Biden putting women in charge of US imperialism is NOT feminism. It’s just putting a female face on the same cruel and destructive policies that impoverish and kill people around the world. Watch my latest segment for more. https://t.co/HIT1XiEvnv

Journalists coming to Las Vegas for the first time to cover Hacker Summer Camp next week would do well to read this piece from last year, which I just discovered.
nytimes.com
My goal, in writing about the annual hacking and cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, was to show a more nuanced portrait of the hacker community, while protecting my data.

Let me be clear: it is a disturbing attack on the First Amendment for the Trump administration to decide who is or is not a reporter for the purposes of a criminal prosecution. Donald Trump must obey the Constitution, which protects the publication of news about our government.
BREAKING: For the first time in the history of our country, the government has brought criminal charges under the Espionage Act against a publisher for the publication of truthful information. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment.

The hypocrisy! For too long the American regime fomented conflict & instability to expand its influence & threaten its neighbors with little cost for its actions. No more. We will continue to apply maximum pressure until Washington abandons its unacceptable behavior.

RT @evonnyoh: @rickhasen I work in infosec. More tech =/= better for something as important as our elections. You can not secure tech indefinitely, and humans are not evolving as quickly as tech is. People don’t read the printouts. They WILL read what they physically mark.

Agree with @DwightShellman - and suggest look at Approval Voting, already introduced three times in CO legislature and adopted in Fargo ND. https://t.co/ms5ZrhvCRZ

Gallup polled U.S. voters on 12 top issues facing the country. Guess which issue was the only to NOT rank for the majority as "as extremely or very important to their vote"? Hint: it's been the top focus of our political & media class for 2 years: 🤔 https://t.co/dSzLNoHjQI

RT @US_Vote: This machine can scan 20,000 ballots per hour. #RLADiary #CORLA2018
https://t.co/f2Qep8mCTW. -- (to be exact, 20,000 envelopes containing ballots. @DenverElections has two of them. They can be used to sort envelopes by style. A different scanner scans the ballots.)
