1/ GA's controversial election remains the focus of national news. (Trump's attempts to have the DOJ work to overturn GA's election.)

Because GA's election was unauditable. It was predictable and preventable.

Reread @AlanJudd3000's Oct. article on Dominion system.See Thread https://twitter.com/AlanJudd3000/status/1320388412021551105

2/ Note the conclusion at the end of the article by Professor @duncanbuell, an expert in voting system security.

3/ Imagine how different things would be today if GA had conducted a transparent, audited hand marked ballot election where the winner was confirmed.

Accusers could not claim a stolen election.

Fully transparent elections with citizen oversight can't be "stolen."

4/ . @GaSecofState blocked transparency, preventing authorized monitors' oversight of signature verification, chain of custody, and review of ballot images.
Other states permit such transparency so that process can be checked as it happens.

BUT both parties failed to insist.

5/ GA law is strong that all processes must be conducted in public with authorized monitors permitted. But many counties and SOS disobeyed blocked them, raising unnecessary questions.

GOP didn't care until they lost. Dems didn't want to fight.

Therefore little transparency.

6/ Touchscreen voting machines are very hackable and errors/hacks are difficult or impossible to detect and results cannot be audited.

3.7 million GA touchscreen ballots cannot be audited, inviting conspiracy theories and wild allegations.

7/ These QR code ballots with tiny text are very difficult for voters to review for accuracy, so very few voters try--meaning that a hacked or mis-programmed machine will not be detected.

8/ There was a very simple solution that Raffensperger and GOP lawmakers rejected--
Let voters mark their ballots themselves, coloring in the bubble.
Can't hack a pen and paper.

75%+ of Americans vote this way.

9/ Then transparently audit results by testing outcomes by counting statistically valid sample of ballots.

The winner is easily confirmed by FACTS, seen by all, and loser is convinced of his loss.

SOS chose touchscreens that don't permit anyone to prove the outcome.

10/ Imagine how different Dec. and Jan. events would have been if:
-GA had used hand marked ballots and conducted a meaningful manual count audit or recount.
-Posted ballot images for all to count themselves. Like below.
-Let parties monitor mail ballot signature verification.

11/ It hasn't worked for @GaSecofState and @GabrielSterling to impatiently declare that conspiracy claims are foolish and be dismissive. This is a result of an opaque and unverifiable system.

Totally unnecessary, when a simple transparent provable system was available.

12/ Would our nation be torn apart over claims of a "stolen election" if GA ballot processing had been open for basic oversight and if GA used hand marked ballots that could be counted and results proven?

Claims of vote flipping and manipulation would have been easily resolved.

13/ Remember that GA GOP lawmakers and @GaSecofState insisted on buying touchscreen barcode ballot system that CANNOT be audited--2019's HB316.
Only one GOP "no" vote in legislature.

14/ Sadly, Rep. Barry Fleming who rammed through HB316 with his lies has been named Chair of "Election Integrity" committee, signaling that GA is NOT to become more transparent nor run auditable elections, even with the nation torn apart because of GA election problems.

15/ Most media has it wrong, praising Raffensperger for transparency, when his very transparency failures are a primary cause of this massive national crisis.

He did the right thing standing up to Trump!!--but that call would not have happened if GA ran an auditable election.

16/ If SOS had run a transparent election that could be audited and any touchscreen/server errors detected, Trump, Sidney Powell, and GA senators (Ligon, Beach, Jones, etc.) who poured gasoline on fire would have had nothing to question.

17/ Back to where I started-- @AlanJudd3000 's Oct. article--
What if GA leaders (in both parties) had heeded experts' warnings and insisted on standard election controls and security? https://twitter.com/rad_atl/status/1319737863433523203?s=20

18/ Instead of heeding warnings, @GaSecofState shot the @ajc messenger with this ridiculous error-riddled press release.

19/ If GA's election had been transparent, verifiable, and properly audited, the losers of the election would have been robbed of the ability to create chaos. GA would not be in the national spotlight or the cause of national unrest.

GA GOP could confirm results themselves.

20/ If GA had a transparent auditable election, with either Biden or Trump provably winning, would the nation have suffered an insurrection, and all the damage it has caused?

Why is no one asking these questions, forcing some soul-searching in GA?

21/ We @CoalitionGoodGv warned of this problem in 2018, 2019, and continue our federal lawsuit (Curling v Raffensperger) to seek auditable elections --no hackable touchscreens. GA should use hand marked ballots that cannot be manipulated.
