2/ The alleged breach happened 18 months ago and GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has done nothing but conceal the dangerous breach from election officials, GA voters and the press. Note the nonchalance with which his office responds--"we take investigations seriously." What invstigation??

Pamela Edwards Marilyn Marks David Jefferson Elizabeth McG Kim Zetter Sampling has nothing to do with it. Here's why: If adversaries can be assured that half the cast ballots are unexamined, they can easily calculate how many ballots to change to achieve desired outcome with a given margin without detection.

One thing that especially undermines elections and voter confidence is deliberate misinformation. Ben Adida may not know that the breach spanned many hours and days, involving numerous actors with computer science backgrounds - but Gabriel Sterling must know that. Facts matter.

I dont know why Ben is replying to me but since he did, let me say this is nonsense. It contradicts everything vendors/SOS claimed for 20 years about secret security methods. Oh and it does lower the bar for discovering vulnerabilities. Not fatal but doesnt inspire confidence.

Nothing in what I said should be taken as claim that machines were actually hacked. We have been clear on this point for months.

In the wake of GA's voting system breach, Dr. Andrew Appel's short article about BMDs is worth rereading! It's written for us laymen, to help us understand why BMDs don't produce quality elections. ⬇️ freedom-to-tinker.com/2022/07/21/mag…

Is it time to withdraw from whatever Twitter is becoming? Just today: Trolling, bots, links to media “stories” promising new bombshell reveals about Nancy Pelosi, vaguely worded threats and Musk hasn’t even fully lifted the bans on problem accounts yet. Not a good trajectory.
