Apparently Trump is more comfortable with internet-connected precinct equipment than with vote by mail. I wonder why... 1/
I am referring to ES&S precinct ballot scanners and receiving-end systems in Florida, Wisconsin, & Michigan (& elsewhere), which contain cellular modems that connect to the internet. #RemoveTheModems 2/
I’m also referring to the seismic shift in recent years to e-pollbooks throughout the US, many of which connect to WiFi & which are now being used (bizarrely) to encode activation cards that activate controversial new touchscreen voting machines (ballot marking devices). 3/

I discuss WiFi-connected electronic pollbooks and how they are now used to activate touchscreen voting machines here. 5/ https://whowhatwhy.org/2020/05/27/touchscreen-voting-makes-everything-easy-including-hacking/">https://whowhatwhy.org/2020/05/2...
Since 2013, America& #39;s largest voting machine vendor, ES&S (44% of US election equipment), has donated $30k to the Republican State Leadership Committee, whose mission is to elect Rs to state legislatures, which will vote on redistricting in 2021. 6/ https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2018/11/05/voting-machines-what-could-possibly-go-wrong/">https://www.nybooks.com/daily/201...
Knowink is America& #39;s largest e-pollbook vendor. Its products are in 25 states in Australia. As I discuss here, it& #39;s managing director is a former Republican election official from St. Louis. 7/ https://whowhatwhy.org/2020/05/27/touchscreen-voting-makes-everything-easy-including-hacking/">https://whowhatwhy.org/2020/05/2...
In addition, per his Linked in, Knowink& #39;s product developer is a former member of College Republicans and once campaigned for Ed Martin who is currently president of the Phyllis Schafly Eages, which opposes the Equal Rights Amendment. I& #39;m sure it& #39;s fine though... 8/
This is an example of a Knowink election. Chaos throughout Los Angeles county during its March primary. 9/ https://twitter.com/erinsearcy/status/1235061449233293313?s=20">https://twitter.com/erinsearc...
The 2016 US presidential election in Wisconsin is an example of an election conducted with ES&S& #39;s inter-connected precinct ballot scanners. 10/
The 2016 US presidential election in Florida is another example of an election conducted with ES&S& #39;s internet-connected precinct ballot scanners. 11/
Experts say that the only way to know if these outcomes are legitimate is to conduct a robust manual audit or full manual recount. But we& #39;re & #39;Merica. So f&$ck the experts. amirite? We already know the GOP agrees with this. But it seems the Democratic party does too. 12/
The Democrats love to play dead it seems, even after unexpected poll-defying losses. We cannot let them do that in November. We just can& #39;t. Too much is at stake. 13/
