It’s democratic primary #election day in #virginia. Just 2 races on the ballot. Picking the Democratic Party candidate for lieutenant governor and attorney general. It’s sleepy. We do the full thing l: all the same procedures and all the full security, but for a fraction of the voters. Polls opened at 6am. At 7:45 we checked in our 7th voter. We finally have had more voters than election officers. I’ll do a thread here during the day about #elections and #electionsecurity and all the humdrum ordinary things of helping people vote.

Arizona’s Elections Procedures Manual states that supervisors have no discretion when certifying results — or at least, that’s how it’s always been interpreted. @TucsonSentinel reports on a court ruling that threw out that section of the manual, and that may now shake up pending criminal charges for conspiracy against an election supervisor who delayed certification of Cochise County’s 2022 midterm results. “Ambiguity in election certification laws is a problem in several swing states across the country,” writes Jen Fifield.

Election workers are trying their very best to ensure every eligible person can cast a ballot in the upcoming U.S. election, and some people are doing their best to thwart that. @gbhnews learned what’s going on in New Hampshire — threats, intimidation, rumors and lies that have led to resignations and retirements of election workers across the state.

In the section on the #DHS …there’s a plan to eliminate the ability of the agency that monitors #ElectionSecurity to prevent the spread of #disinformation about voting & #vote counting.
…Think back to Nov 2020, when #Trump was developing his #BigLie about the #election he’d lost. Trump’s false assertion the election had been characterized by “massive improprieties & fraud” was tripped up by #ChrisKrebs, who served as dir of the #Cybersecurity & Infrastructure #Security Agency (#CISA) in the DHS.

"An effort to access voting system software in several states and provide it to allies of former President Donald Trump as they sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election has raised “serious threats” ahead of next year’s presidential contest, according to a group of experts who urged federal agencies to investigate."
