My @calmatters.org piece: Scandals (Smartmatic bribery + Dominion rebrand as Liberty Vote) show proprietary corporate-controlled voting systems are failing trust. CA can lead by easing certification of transparent open-source paper ballot systems.

"That’s where leadership from Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature’s budget committees is essential.
