      The president spent last month telling people the election was rigged, the votes fraudulent, the count manipulated. The damage is real and we need better safeguards than just repeating there was no evidence of fraud. I wrote about basic & possible reforms. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/24/opinion/election-integrity.html …pic.twitter.com/d8BZibQjNy

      It may not be fashionable to say this right now, but many Democrats also distrust the electoral process. They distrust the voting machines—with reason. And optical-scan machines can malfunction. We need risk-limiting audits. And automatic voter registration. Georgia has both now.pic.twitter.com/1EaTv9JKXe

          Yes, fixing voter-registration and counting is not the whole story, by far, but that doesn't make it unnecessary or less urgent. Right now, Trump's base is awash in conspiracy theories about voting machines. You know what? I don't have an answer to them and neither does anyone.

          Yes. Surrendering to we'll never convince "them" is not the right answer. The deliberate pumping of mistrust thrives on weak process. And I've been writing about electoral mistrust/process for many elections, and the mistrust really is across party lines. https://twitter.com/libraryluna/status/1331249067981201416 …

          After a professor from Kennesaw University hacked the system in front of a judge right before the governor's election in 2018. The judge ruled it was too late to change the system and we went ahead with the flaw. Yes we need reform.

          Voting machines aren't "the system" though, such is the point. Like all mission-critical endeavors, "the system" includes iterative audits and balances before and after machine use, mitigating risk. It might need reform, but informing constituents of the process is paramount.

          I was pleasantly surprised to get a paper ballot printed out from the voting machine this time around that I was able to review before it got scanned. Improved my confidence in the process and the ability to audit properly...

          Georgia does not have automatic voter registration, and I don’t know why this keeps being repeated. If you don’t have a driver’s license, you’re not automatically registered to vote. That’s automatic-ish, but there are plenty of Georgians whose votes we need who don’t drive.
