They are checked and are obviously programmed to do exactly what they are doing. How else could any democrat ever win an election if the voting isn't rigged?
I have no doubt that is what is happening.
They could! That's why I don't think there should be any automated counting of votes. I think it should be done by hand, with representatives of all candidates and parties there to supervise.
Just because computers and machines can be made to do something doesn't mean they should. Some things are just way too important to introduce the chance of fraud, and vote counting is one of them.
I know ballot boxes can be stuffed. But it takes a whole lot more widespread corruption to pull it off than paying or blackmailing a single programmer at a single company like Diebold.
So what if we don't get the election results for a week? What difference does that make at all?
No need to be redundant.
Ah, the old Democrat Deafness syndrome.
I’m going to spend some time looking around on this, time permitting: I’ve got bigger fish to fry right now (finding a job, housing, crap like that).
Bingo.
Best of luck.
“how do we know that what we see on the screen is what gets recorded?”
We don’t. Maryland says thet don’t know if this helps democrats? Each vote flipped is one legitimate republican vote lost plus one illegitimate cast for democrat if this done only 50 times it’s a hundred vote difference. a hundred votes here a hundred votes there. The democrats believe they are entitled to steal enough votes to give them any close election. When studying Voter ID I found a paper on the internet ay the NYU Brennan justice Center, which is againt Voter ID or anything else that would promote honest elections and for anything that allows theft anfd manipulation of votes and election results. The last line of one paper said Voter ID only makes a difference in a close election anyway.
But no, all the democrats tell us that vote fraud is a myth and there is no evidence of it ever happening anywhere ever. Silly me.

Liar. She should be charged with treason.
I am a veteran of the “old” days when elections were by paper ballot and we sat up all night in drafty garages counting the votes by talley hashes.
I worked as a vote counter in California in the 1960s. We arrived at the close of the polls (after my husband was home to take care of the kids) and counted all night. Because this was California, the ballots were as large as a double sheet of newspaper (both sides) and often had 25, or 30, referendums on them.
I was lucky to get home by breakfast in time to relieve my husband so that he could go to work.
Believe me, we made mistakes in counting then too. We’d have 3 people counting for each question — one reader and 2 making hash marks on a piece of paper. We’d do it all over again if we didn’t agree. And the precincts were small. Just one, or two blocks of people in each one.
I was the token Republican in my Berekley neighborhood. LOL.
And Voter ID is rasis, too!
Maryland “Flip State” PING!
