“I have no clue what controls are in place at my local voting precinct. I have this vague notion that both sides have poll watchers at each location and that there exists somewhere some procedures to ensure that the vote is fair and not modified. And presumably those procedures include making sure that the machines software has been tested by both sides and secured. But I don't know that for sure.”

Yeah, like we all assumed there were sufficient safeguards to ensure a non-natural born American would never be on the ballot for president?

Electronic voting machines can be hacked, and imperceptibly so—that's according to one of their design engineers who testified before Congress a few years back. He was arguing AGAINST using the machines he designed!!

Exactly!!! It's in the constitution, we all thought it was settled law. Now we know...

No legislative body ever set up a procedure to check.
No executive did either.
Worse, we can't even seem to get legislation to check passed because politicians are afraid it will be perceived as an attack on a sitting president and a portion of their base will revolt.
And on top of that, we've got rogue states like Hawaii that have failed to follow federal law and have made citizenship available to foreigners.
And the definition of Natural Born Citizen is not settled law either because both the judiciary and the executive are confused or feigning confusion.

They certainly can. I'm sure that procedures can be designed to insure to everyone's satisfaction that they are accurate and the code is stable and protected. But that's not easy and I seriously doubt that most places have sufficient protection in place.
Anyone with physical or online access to those machines can likely download software modifications to them. And without a paper trail and some kind of audit, there is no way to know if the vote recorded is accurate. Exit polls serve as a red flag, but I read the MSM is pulling back on exit polls.
