Why are modems so popular? Because we want instant election results, and some jurisdictions are big. Many election officials told me that modems save them from long drives that could delay initial results by hours. And right-wing disinformation exploited those delays in 2020. https://t.co/6TGYBxHBC4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate Intelligence Committee took note of modem risks in its 2019 report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, recommending that officials remove or disable wireless or other networking capabilities in voting machines. Several states have banned modems. — PolitiTweet.org

Paper ballots and post-election audits can ensure that official results are correct even if hackers breach modems or the devices using them. But there are still paperless machines out there, and audits aren't mandatory everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org
