The Self-Inflicted Voting Machine Misinformation Crisis Looming Over 2024The Election Assistance Commission prepares to roll out new standards for the certification of voting machines. They worry because, “There are groups of people out there that are now declaring elections that are not held on equipment that has been certified…as invalid”. “Virtually every system in use in 2024 will be certified under the old standards, not the new ones. Election officials stress that machines certified under previous standards remain secure and approved to use. But they know bad actors might use their words against them anyway.”
It is always interesting to see our government employees refer to citizens who work to hold them accountable as “bad actors.”
