Similarly, the most improbable thing in "Being John Malkovic", for which I couldn't suspend disbelief, was that they somehow got from midtown to the NJ Turnpike in 15 minutes.

I doubt that. A federal pardon doesn’t erase the facts or the record that got them disbarred. It just erases the (federal) consequences of any criminal conviction.

Perhaps I missed something, but I'm unaware of any federal indictment against Giuliani.

If you have location services on, they quickly figure out your "significant locations".

Unless you go out of your way to stop them, they know. The only question is whether they tell you.

The lawyers doing the filings will likely bear the brunt of this in the form of sanctions.

I get where you're coming from, but I think there's value in experts engaging with people. I've certainly benefited from interacting with and reading experts in other fields on social media.

A published article is worth 10,000 fights in the weeds.

Thanks for the advice. But I have to ask: if this is such a poor use of time, what are YOU doing here?

Since I wrote this paper (in 2019), the basic technical landscape has stayed mostly the same, but the safeguards have significantly improved. DREs are rapidly disappearing, and RLAs are starting to be conducted routinely. I'm generally optimistic about (technical aspects of) election security.

Again, while I am aware of absolutely no credible evidence that any US election outcome has been hacked, there are some real, serious vulnerabilities. But there are things we can do (and have done) to improve the situation significantly. See this paper.

Also, if you want to read up on current problems and solutions in US election security, I strongly recommend the "Securing the Vote" National Academies report (note free download link). I use it as the main text in my tech and election integrity course.

From what I've read about Newton, it would be *brutal*. But he mostly reserved that for his colleagues.

You are, of course, free to complain to the management if you feel I've been insufficiently polite to you. And we will gladly refund the remaining portion of your subscription to my posts if you find them unsatisfactory.

I am steadfast in my belief that you can't please everyone.

I don't lose anything except another troll. Bye.
