Supposedly, the code and the voting machines are validated and approved prior to purchase and use. Therefore if anyone tampers with the code and a new verification was not performed the results from that machine should be disqualified.
How was the election compromised? Let me count the ways ...
Seriously, tuning in to these hearings and listening to all of the corruption, I find myself gasping sometimes. Then I THANK GOD that when I was Elections Supervisor in the early ‘80s things were so much different. Ballots were simple IBM punch cards. They had chads; nothing highly digital.
On the different working committees, people got along with each other. Each R/D pair of workers were friendly with each other, whether Canvassing Board, Facsimile (they call it “duplication” now, I guess”) Board, Counting and Receiving Board, Data Processing Review Board, etc.
Of course, I was young and maybe there was horrid corruption happening behind the scenes and I was clueless.
