Ben Adida

I was interviewed a few weeks ago by @RonGula on election security. Ron asks great questions. youtu.be/fKbpCDxF5Yg

We're proud @voting_works to be helping Georgia conduct rigorous post-election audits for five years now.

As much as it would be so convenient to vote on our phones, it's just not a safe thing to do. That said, we also need more transparency in voting systems, in particular open-source software. So kudos to this team for open-sourcing their voting system. nytimes.com/2025/11/13/us/…

Yesterday, news broke that Dominion Voting Systems was sold to a new company, Liberty Vote. Dominion, the second-largest voting systems vendor in the US that currently tabulates 1 in 5 American votes, is no more. voting.works/news/public-tr…

@samuelgoto @thunder very cool!

@thunder @benadida FYI I think this is the closest to your work that we ever have been! Still early and unclear where this might take us, but hey, worth the shot!

I just kicked off a devtrial for a pretty exciting extension to FedCM that we've been working on for a long time! #issuecomment-2557689561" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/w3c-fedid/FedC… Give this a try and let me know what you think!

A really fun conversation with @milaatmos and @futur_hindsight

TOMORROW: We’re joined by @benadida to discuss election integrity and voting machines, the amazing work of election workers, and the logistics of election audits. Some truly fascinating stuff!!! Listen wherever you get your podcasts 🎙🎙

We're proud @voting_works to be helping the State of Pennsylvania run a statewide post-election audit. This is the way.

Georgia doing a statewide risk-limiting audit of the Presidential election, with maximum transparency, using @voting_works Arlo software which is open-source.

@DeanObeidallah There are rigorous statistical audits happening right now in all key states. That's what election administrators do as a matter of course. Happy to tell you more -- we @voting_works helped GA audit and confirm Biden's win in 2020, and are helping a number of states this year.

The growing chorus of Democrats raising questions about whether Trump won legitimately is now too big to simply ignore. I'm not saying there was fraud-- but I am saying we need public recounts and audits so that people can trust the system.

PSA: Not all the votes have been counted. Most of the contests have been rightly called, because remaining ballots won't change the outcome. But in some elections, when numbers are tighter, it takes longer to know the winner, because remaining ballots could make a difference.

Election denial is anti-democratic, whether it comes from the left or the right. No, 20 million votes aren’t missing. Votes are still being counted in many states, incl millions in CA alone. Number of votes in 2024 very close to 2020, when all are reported election.lab.ufl.edu/2024-general-e…

I would post this no matter the winner of the election – hold off on your conspiracy theories. It's goofy to complain about elections only when you lose.

@JessicaHuseman the coolest nerds evah.

@benadida that subset is just people who routinely go to NASED conferences i think

MORE THAN ANY OTHER DAY OF THE YEAR HOW DARE YOU ASK

I'm in New Hampshire, where 10% of the state is using open-source ballot tabulators from @voting_works. Extremely high turnout. Democracy in action. I'm always in awe of this.

Stressing cause it's election day? How about a podcast about how voting works? how.voting.works I've been sick with a nasty cold for a few days, so I'm behind on posting episode 4, but working on it!

Today, hundreds of thousands of election workers and millions of volunteers will be working a very long day to ensure that every American citizen has a voice in who governs them. Join me in thanking them for their service. No election is perfect, but they do a great job ensuring our elections are secure, your vote will be safe and convenient, and your vote will matter. Even if it's close, we will know who accurately won, thanks to our election workers!

Happy Election Day America! Make sure you thank a poll worker today.

I promise you, you have no idea how hard election administrators have been working, are working, and will be working for many more days. You have no idea, unless you've done it yourself.

Sometimes, election officials make a narrow statement about how *their* state does elections well, less sure about others. Here, @GabrielSterling makes the powerful and important statement that all states, not just his, do a good job. Thank you Gabe for the call to unity.
