Arizona! Pls help ensure that this election is as free and fair as possible. Pls volunteer with @ProtectVotes to photograph precinct totals (usually posted outside polls after they close) on election night. The project is called #photojournalism. Details & sign up link below. 1/ https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1034506404495810560
2/ The project is called #PhotoFinish & is being conducted by @ProtectVotes, the group I co-founded w/ @SwissTriple_M. Here is the link to sign up. https://www.protectourvotes.com/photo-finish-volunteer-sign-up-form/
3/ This is what poll tapes look like. Volunteers will call their counties first to confirm they will be publicly posted outside polling places after polls close (or will otherwise be available to photograph on election night).
4/ Volunteers will then upload the photos to our website as described in this 50 second video.
5/ Here are more details about our project and a recent training video. Please join us if you can. Thank you! #PhotoFinish #electiontransparency https://www.protectourvotes.com/photo-finish-photographer-training-11-1/
6/ Here, I wrote about (among other things) this poll tape project—and how a poll tape analysis in 2015 by @benniejsmith revealed that votes from ES&S voting machines machines in TN had vanished from predominantly African American precincts. https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2020/10/31/how-safe-is-the-us-election-from-hacking/
