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 …

The way forward is to fix this going forward. Too many people have false hopes; little attention on how to fix it.https://twitter.com/mattblaze/status/802614432509685762 …

The useful thing that might come out of an audit, if done properly, is badly needed insight into the practical threat environment.

Yes. Though the adversary is sophisticated enough—or, given horrible record of DRE machines, merely competent—what do you find?

I think a proper audit would allow us to see how crappy the systems truly are, and get rid of them in the remaining states.

I don't think the audit for Wisconsin (and elsewhere?) will interrogate the pieces of the system you're worried about.

You are likely right. Maybe just have to wait for these machines to fully fall apart? GA DREs are creaky & Win 2000.
