@PressSec Good luck with that; we doubt this ends well for an Administration that seems to be clue-free about how elections are actually administered.

It's #CivicLearningWeek!

Did you know voting systems vary depending on where you live? Learning what equipment is used in your jurisdiction and how it works is one part of being an informed voter!

3/3 Credit bureaus are in the business of reporting adverse financial information. It is not their job to verify accurate voter information. We’re all for thinking outside the box to find solutions, but not at the expense of transparency and accuracy. \END

🧵 1/3 Clean voter rolls are the foundation of election integrity. However, when there’s a question regarding a voter’s active status, election administrators must comply with state and federal laws without accidentally disenfranchising voters.

2/3 The election community has had varying degrees of success with cross-checking programs that compare voter records to official government databases. The use of credit reporting to track voters in Mississippi raises several questions. H/T @MSTODAYnews

Obviously, we’re huge fans of agentic AI models, so we were quite pleased to discover the new AI Agent Standards Initiative from @NIST and look forward to learning more about the initiative.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

The future of AI is agentic, and America is leading the way to make it secure and interoperable.

A new AI Agent Standards Initiative is launching this week @NIST to drive industry-led standards and open protocols that build trust and advance innovation. https://t.co/bS5oqvU8iu

This was the most brutal insult Steve Jobs ever received:

In 1997, a man publicly insulted Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference in front of thousands.

Jobs' response changed Silicon Valley forever..

Here's what happened (and how this defined his legacy forever):🧵

@WarrenMcCommon For goodness sake, there is no partisanship to supporting another democracy, and the Institute is pro-democracy. Similarly, our Institute works around the world, thus the U.N. flag.

Worth a read, regardless of how you feel about the election; facts and reality must always guide inquiries. Our @ElectionBabe was pleased to contribute some of those facts to the article.

NEW:

I spoke to elections experts, voting systems companies and swing state officials about the conspiracy theory that Elon Musk used Starlink to rig the vote.

They all told me the machines that tabulate votes are not connected to the internet at all.

Sitting at a table of male election officials who don’t know I speak French and understand every word they said about women not deserving the right to vote.

I think I’m going to go drown my sorrows in coffee cake.
