Free Speech For People


John,

*BREAKING NEWS: Free Speech For People Exposes Fraudulent Marketing Practices by Nation's Largest Voting System Vendor, Spurring Rebuke by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission*

Holding the voting system vendors accountable for false and deceptive practices is a major area of focus in our Election Security Project at Free Speech For People. Today, we are celebrating a significant victory because the nation's largest voting machine vendor, ES&S, has been censured for falsely advertising its voting machines with wireless modems as federally certified.

We, in conjunction with the National Election Defense Coalition, brought this issue to the attention of the EAC in January in a letter [ [link removed] ] that detailed evidence indicating ES&S was deceptively marketing its voting machines.

ES&S has sold these voting machines with wireless modems to states across the country, including Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Wireless modems directly connect the voting systems to the Internet, making them more vulnerable to remote hacking. In today's election security threat environment, it's plainly foolish to use this technology. So we are doing all we can to expose it and stop it.

We will be using this victory to do more to press states to disable and remove the modems from their voting machines. Stay tuned.

While we are very pleased the EAC took action to rebuke ES&S for its false claims, this is just a part of a larger pattern of deception from the voting system vendors that operate with little to no oversight and without meaningful regulation. We're going to change that.

Our election infrastructure is still under attack by adversaries of democracy, both domestic and abroad. *Free Speech For People will continue to fight to secure our elections, because our democracy depends on it.*

Onward,

Senior Advisor on Election Security, Free Speech For People
