There are huge security holes in the electronic 'voting' systems. They're unreliable, overpriced, and slow down the process of voting as well as obscuring it so completely that no 'observation' can occur. The claim that 'no cases of tampering have been documented' is ludicrous, because the problems include the ease of concealing the rigging completely. There ARE documented cases of electronic 'voting' systems losing, switching, and faking votes. State and local officials, under pressure from the racketeer vendors threatening them with deceitful claims of 'federal' violations, have been forced to buy defective equipment and ripoff service contracts. The taxpayers are robbed and the voters are deprived of the representation in government for which the founders of the USA were willing to fight and die.

I doubt that it was “malfunctioning.” It was no doubt working in precisely the way Pelosi wanted it to work.

Paper ballots are subject to a different suite of cheating tools.
How do you prevent a campaign worker from substituting a box of pre-marked paper ballots for the “real one”, with both boxes having the same total count? Both boxes have a paper sticker seal with a signature on it.

'no cases of tampering have been documented'It's not tampering that we should be worrying about. Each individual machine would need to be opened and changed, which is very unlikely. What is easy to do is to have dishonest poll workers vote for anyone who is on the rolls but didn't show up to vote....dead, moved, hospitalized, etc. The epoll book tells them if a person has voted already.
Heavily Dem areas often send in their results much later than other areas. I wonder if they just vote again and again as many times as they need to until they get enough votes to win.
How can a virus infect a machine that is not on the internet in any way?

They can still count hands if the voice vote is indeterminate.
