Saw this on another forum. Wondering if this is valid way to defeat riggng?
Quote: "All of the videos I have seen where a person's vote is changed to a democrat have voted a straight republican ticket.
I'm willing to bet that is how their hack works.
The coding would have to be extensive if a person votes for each issue on the ballot." UNQUOTE
How many states still allow straight ticket voting? When I lived in Illinois, straight party ticket voting was eliminated. Hated it because we had to vote for 100 judges.
Lots of holes to punch. I worried that if I didn’t complete my ballot, my votes for POTUS and congress wouldn’t count.
We voted one Dem that I know, and one Libertarian on down tickets.
It’s been mentioned on FR too. Just check the individual boxes.
Not a bad thought and in my State, we actually have on dem who is more conservative/less establishment than his rep counterpart.
and review your votes before you push the vote button. If you get a paper print out check it. If ANYTHING is wrong don’t leave your voting booth/machine until you get help.
Tho not a programmer, that sounds instinctively plausible to me.
What the hell, couldn't hurt to do it that way.
Now if only the other 55,000,000 of y'all would do it too ;-)
Thanks!
If this is good advice we need to get the word out!
Since I have been here in Maryland I don't remember having the straight ticket option (you must vote individually for each office) and this year we had paper ballots (in Cecil Co anyway).
Could be right. The evil programmers may figure that if a voter is not conscientious enough to research candidates individually, he might be too lazy to check the results of his voting before confirmation also.
It’s not a hack if it was intentionally programmed that way.
I bet if authorities were to confiscate a few on election day to examine the code, they would find logic very similar to that of a gambling slot machine....
Just enough valid votes to throw off suspicion.
Oh... and no way to verify it afterwards.
Anyone who sticks their money in an electronic slot machine obviously knows nothing about computers or programming.
There is no such thing as “random” to a computer.
Conservatives should get their heads out of their @sses and vote on every office carefully, instead of using a voting method that was made up for the retardates who dominate the Democratic rolls.
I have not coded these types of devices, but it appears to me that it is but a couple of lines of code with some kind of randomizing procedure. If you just flipped straight ballots it would be pretty easy to detect through an under-representation of straight tickets.
I am voting individual not straight ticket.
Is that Missouri? I was out there a few weeks ago and got a lot of interesting feedback from locals on the bizarre governor’s race there — where the Democrat is a former Republican who has been endorsed by the NRA.
I believe I read there were nice states that have the option.
I moved from California that does not have the option to Texas which does.
I am with you and think each person on the ballot should be looked at individually. I also looked at the people I am voting for here and made sure they did not talk smack about Trump before I even considered voting for them.
I will be voting for a Democrat, whomever he or she may be, for the first time since... 1980, was it (?), when I voted for David Boren in his first run for the Senate.
I was wondering that myself.
I vote a lot on the conservative line.
I never vote straight any party.
In my county the electronic voting machines print a copy of your ballot which you are supposed to verify matches your actual votes and then retains it. I don't know how often they audit the electronic results versus the paper results, but that would leave a record of fraud if they didn't match.
The printer is on the right. One "screen" worth is printed at a time and you have to hit approve on each before it moves on.
I always check all the individual boxes instead of voting straight ticket. I love voting against all the Democrats.
