When you look at it this way, you can see how absurd it is to buy ballot marking devices (touchscreen voting machines that serve as hackable electronic pens) for use by all voters. But overall, Rs have pushed these machines as much or more than Ds. 1/ https://twitter.com/theonion/status/1339260266895335424

2/ The #SAFEAct wld have banned most current ballot marking devices, but Republicans blocked it. https://www.axios.com/gop-senator-election-security-blocks-3f432161-42f4-4fa2-9207-d281ec857058.html

3/ BMDs make sense for voters w/ disabilities who are unable to hand mark. But it is ridiculous to have all in person voters use them. They are electronic, which means they are vulnerable to glitches & hacking. It’s asking 4 trouble imo. #HandMarkedPaperBallots (pen & paper).
