In the discovery part of our lawsuit against the #RocklandCounty Board of Elections we got documents showing that many of the voting machines did not seem to receive the legally required hashcheck tests. These test whether the correct software is on the machine.

It's easier to get the password to a voting machine, than to get into your own email account in some cases. No 2-factor authentication & password procedures are very poor.

Worth watching @hcrichardson.bsky.social on the Venezuela attack. It takes her a while to get to the point. But when she does it's a pretty big point.

What did we learn from the Rockland County lawsuit?
⦁ Passwords taken home by the inspectors after orientation.
⦁ On voting day passwords are kept with the voting machine keys all day, so anyone around the polling place might have access to the keys with the password.

#RocklandCounty lawsuit challenging #Election2024 was not dismissed on merit, but because the judge ruled we lack standing. We have filed an appeal. Meanwhile, we learned a lot in discovery. They did not provide most documents we requested. We have to ask, what are they hiding?
