This is disturbing. The VP of security for @essvote, America’s largest voting machine vendor (accounting for 44% of US election equipment) came straight from the Trump administration in 2018.

1. No losing candidate, campaign manager or Party official claims that voting machines have been hacked.

2. The voting machines that people claimed were hacked to make us lose in 2004, 2010, 2014 and 2016 and the same machines that let us win in 2006. 2008, 2012 and 2018.

3. If Republicans could secretly hack voting machines, then they wouldn't need to engage in the public voter suppression activities they actually try.

He’s jumped around a lot of different companies. And a lot of IT people aren’t in it for the politics.

It's the vote-counting I worry about, not the voting machines...
