Big News! Our new disclosure bill authored by @senmcnerney.bsky.social, #SB900 the Print Ads DISCLOSE Act, passed its first committee vote, 5-0! SB 900 will make it much easier to see the top funders on political mailers, billboards, and other print ads.

NEW: The California Senate Elections Committee today unanimously approved my campaign finance reform legislation, SB 900. Big thanks to @caclean.org and the California State Outdoor Advertising Association for sponsoring SB 900.

It is very clear our voting rights and the mechnisms for counting our votes are under attack from many directions. The open-soure, paper-ballot voting system is one way for us to counter attack. Kudos to Clean Money and Trent Lange for getting out front on this action!

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. Full op-ed: calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Opinion | California can sidestep scandal and banish bias while counting votes

Open source voting systems are more transparent and cheaper than the state’s current contract with Smartmatic, which is facing bribery charges.

Voters deserve election technology that’s transparent & accountable — not secret software controlled by multinational voting machine corporations. Our @calmatters.org op‑ed explains why California must make it easier to certify open‑source, paper‑ballot voting systems as an alternative. 🧵

Opinion | By supporting legislation that makes it easier to certify open source voting alternatives, Newsom can strengthen our faith in elections by protecting vote counting from even the appearance of partisanship or moneyed influence... bit.ly/4kQKEvW 📝 Trent Lange 📸 Jules Hotz
