An recount is not a sufficient audit of voting machines. Statistical analyses can't resolve the issue. Outcome won't change, that is not it.

People are being misled while the underlying issue—many voting machines remain proprietary and insecure black boxes—remains untouched.

That's the crisis. There should've been political leadership & money to replace these machines before the election. https://twitter.com/franglophonic/status/802518653111508992 …

Statistical analyses can't catch 1-3% swings. They can't audit the machines. They suggest no outcome change, though, if enough paper margin.

Every four years: Experts warn for years about insecure black box voting machines. Brief post-election attention. No change. Rinse, repeat

Like gerrymandering & voting restrictions. Mostly discussed after elections. Missing: Show up at midterms. Win states. Help people get IDs.

Look, audits should be routine. But ... no way to audit PA. Without VVPAT=no paper trail. Stats can't judge a 1-2% swing. This needs fixing.pic.twitter.com/POML6sOgno

Fine but post-hoc audit cannot resolve. Insecure, secret code. Can erase own logs, etc. Must junk these machines.https://twitter.com/leemwilliams/status/802612915069067264 …
