@umbernhard It’s a crazy turnaround, partially because the pop. here is average age of 55, so a pocket of COVID here would be absolutely devastating

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

@umbernhard We actually went to 105% population vaccinated at some point, before we started accounting for off-islanders coming to take their jab

Please don't use this to argue your conspiracy theories, and take a look at this thread instead:https://t.co/3DJjW3LW7V. Bottom line is no, this is NOT representative of current Dominion machines and 'hacking' it wouldn't really help steal an election

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

@WilliamMarsWard Hi William, a few clarifications:
1. This machine isn't and wasn't new. It belongs to a generation of machines that is at least 10 years old, not the ones rolled out in Georgia in 2019.

@WilliamMarsWard I highly recommend section 4 of this piece by Matt Blaze, which discusses it in a concise and digestible way: https://t.co/JsTp3aIYTL (I'd listen to him, its, like, his job to know this stuff)

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

@WilliamMarsWard 4. While that machine is highly vulnerable, even if we could hack it in 1 second or without touching it, that would pretty much definitely be caught with an audit. While I am not really qualified to explain this process...

Today I add to my list of statistically unlikely but possible fears: what if I'm a carrier of COVID-19? My parents aren't taking it seriously, but when I get home tomorrow I will have spent time in 6 airports in the last 11 days. Planning to isolate from them as much as possible.

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

Disclaimer: this is an ironic statement. I do not plan on voting on others behalf, only to demonstrate how easy it would be given the ridiculous authentication method.

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

Oh gosh, it sure will be so easy for me (as a King County resident) to log in with my “Name and Birthdate [through] a Web portal” to vote this Feb 11th! Can’t wait to vote as all of my King County friends too: https://t.co/O17nEHOTnF…. How convenient!

@LuluFriesdat @BrennanCenter @jhalderm @rad_atl @philipbstark Please don’t treat this new evidence as a death sentence for BMDs; because regardless of how everyone else votes, hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions, will be voting on BMDs in upcoming elections, so improving their security is important no matter what.

[Henry Meng @henryjmeng]

@LuluFriesdat @BrennanCenter @jhalderm @rad_atl @philipbstark I point out this distinction because, while our paper did not end up definitively defining an intervention which would improve verification rates to the point where BMDs could be considered secure, it did recommend further research on the topic. And that’s kind of the point.

[J. Alex Halderman @jhalderm]

Can voters detect malicious manipulation of ballot marking devices?

To find out, @UMBernhard and our @UMich team had 241 people vote on BMDs we secretly hacked to change every printout. Voters missed >93% of errors!

How dangerous do you think @Boeing’s ex-CEO Kevin McAllisters’ house is? I bet he’s gearing up for the holiday season right now.

Stay safe this year Marv!

Blaze says "we would never expect the local county sheriff to repel a ground invasion,” but that’s what we do with election security.

"We are asking county election office IT departments to act as our first and last line of national defense."

@lad1121 @umbernhard @paul_pearce Barcodes are just another way to encode information. Anyone can read barcodes, just take out your phone and point your camera at it. They make tabulation easier and more reliable for machines, and the diversity of barcode readers ensures difficulty of modification without notice.
