We do not have confidence in his work. He actually wrote a hit piece on SMART Elections that he took down. It was full of mis/disinformation. Like he said we only had 1 lawsuit going, when we had 2. It was also toxic in tone. Based on the misinfo about us - we don't trust his info on other topics.

We are nonpartisan and work with people across the political spectrum. But that work depends on mutual respect, even when there is disagreement. Luckily we work with both progressives & conservatives who have developed friendships and respect for each other. #transpartisan #collaboration

19/ Our election officials may be well-intentioned for the most part, but our elections are far from perfect. They will not improve if we pretend that the problems do not exist. Read our press release on our lawsuit asking for transparency in #RocklandCounty NY apnews.com/press-releas...

18/ Mr. Becker is one of the key sources of what I call the "Shame Culture" that shames individuals and organizations from asking questions about our elections. If you're part of a growing group who want election transparency let's talk about it #HonestElections #elections2024 SMARTelections.us

17/ Let's move on to the claim that we hear so often: voting machines "are not connected to the internet" This is patently false. Some voting machines are connected to the Internet A study reported on in 2020 found dozens of voting systems connected to the Internet www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...
nbcnews.com
Experts find more than 30 U.S. voting systems connected to internet
A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did.

16/ Then PA audited the State Treasurer's race. Because that's the race that everyone was super concerned about [not] Do not think that auditing the State Treasurer's race can confirm the results of the presidential race. It cannot. They are 2 completely different races www.pa.gov/agencies/vot...

15/ PA is required to audit 2% of its ballots or 2000 ballots, whichever is LESS in each county. Philadelphia County cast 727,595 ballots. They were required to audit 2000 ballots. That's .27% of the ballots. That's less than 1%, less than .5%. (POINT).27%. vote-results.phila.gov/Default.aspx...

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
14/ And how is Mr. Becker defining "fully audited"? Fully audited implies ALL the ballots are checked. This is a far cry from what actually happens. Kansas is required to do a hand-count audit in 1% of precincts. So 99% of Kansas precincts are not audited. verifiedvoting.org/auditlaw/kan...

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
13/ Even states that do require audits do not always perform the audits with hand-counts. New York state requires counties to perform a mandatory 3% audit of all voting machines, but allows counties to scan the ballots as long as they use a different scanner than was used in the original count.

10/ 1st, Not all states are required to conduct audits. The Verified Voting Audit Law Database is likely the most up to date info about post-election audits in the US. Although there are other good sources. "Mississippi does not require post-election audits." verifiedvoting.org/auditlaw/mis...

9/ So the claim that we have 98% paper is disingenuous at best, and outright deceptive at worst. Let's move on to the claim that all of those 98% of ballots are "fully audited by hand counting to confirm the results." This is such a gross misstatement of facts that it's laughable. #HonestElections

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
8/ These are huge percentages of voting machines that do not follow security expert's recommendations that as many voters as possible mark a paper ballot themselves. The DRE and BMD machines together make up 31% of all voting machines. Trump won the election by less than 1.5% (49.91% - 48.43%)

6/ Then 26% of jurisdictions use Ballot Marking Devices (BMDs) to record & sometimes to count votes. Experts do not recommend BMDs except for voters w/ disabilities, because the computer marks the ballot instead of the voter. Experts say elections conducted on BMDs cannot be confirmed by audits.

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
5/ A VVPAT is not an actual paper ballot. It is like a cash register receipt that the machine prints. Experts say if the machine is hacked, it would be likely that cash register spool would be hacked as well. It would only take a few extra seconds. And the computer creates the VVPAT, not the voter
140
lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
4/ Mr. Becker's claim is a very thin technicality based on the fact that the DRE states other than Louisiana have what’s called a VVPAT. It stands for Verified Voting Paper Audit Trail. #HonestElections #elections2024

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
3/ In addition to Louisiana, there are Direct Record Electronic voting machines in Nevada, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Utah. So Mr. Becker's claim that "only Louisiana [is] without" paper is not really accurate. #HonestElections

lulufriesdat.bsky.social @lulufriesdat.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
2/ Verified Voting is considered the most reliable organization that tracks US voting technology. They estimate that at least 5% of US voting machines are what's called DRE - Direct Record Electronic with no paper ballots used. #HonestElections #elections2024
