Trump's wishlist for election security "improvements" is a mix of actually good nonpartisan measures advocated for by experts (prioritizing the use of hand marked paper ballots) and nakedly partisan restrictions on voting (cumbersome citizenship verification, restrictions on mail-in voting, etc), plus some crazy stuff that's not particularly partisan, but not helpful, either.

Crazy ideas? From our batshit-crazy president? I never saw that coming.
(But thanks for watching it, so that some of us didn't have to.)
@mattblaze Yeah, I remember when it felt like all of tech was screaming against using more technology in elections, long before it became partisan.
So much more important to get the answer right, and paper counts fast anyway.
And if someone wants to challenge things, robust pencil marks best every other evidence hands down. But I am an Aussie and hearing about Bush v Gore, hanging chads, dimpled chads and counting machines where the answer changed each run seemed stuff of comedy.
@mattblaze @bmacDonald94 Is there a link to that fool’s obituary yet?
@donhawkins @bmacDonald94 I'm sorry, but I'm trying to actually look at a serious issue of public policy about which I have specialized expertise. If you want random shouting and generalities, you'll need to find it elsewhere.
@mattblaze @bmacDonald94 Hey Prof, I’m not one of your students. tRump’s obituary will serve the greater good of an entire planet. If you doubt my claim, prove me wrong. If you want to pontificate on lesser matters have at it, but if you can’t handle the feedback, oh well, this isn’t your classroom.
