Jill Stein: People Walk Around With Floppy Disks to Hack Voter Machines
Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 7, 2016 | Chandler Gill

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Wednesday that people walk around with floppy disks in order to hack and reprogram voter machines.

Stein–who is attempting to launch election recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to contest Donald Trump’s victory–first explained the indicators that people looked for when a machine is suspected of being tampered with or having an error.

“So the indicators that they look for if they want to see a machine error or a foul play or tampering, you look for a couple of indicators,” she said. “So one is close race. You also look for an outcome which is the opposite of what was suggested by the polls and the exit polls.”

Why does the theme from “Looney Tunes” keep running through my head when I think of Jill Stein?

Because she is certifiably NUTS!

5.25” or 3.5”?? We must accurately assess the threat.

I'd bet she was thinking about the 8" floppies, or maybe paper tape!

Either Jill Stein knows how to make [censored] up, or Hillary Clinton is really reaching.

Stuff packaged for low-info voters, of course.

Combined PING! and DANG!

That's odd... when I got my official Trump voting machine hacking kit, it included a mag tape

One of my early Christmas memories was my dad bringing home stacks of punch cards and my parents making Christmas wreathes out of them. Anybody else remember doing that?

Strangely most people thought these 3.5 disks were hard disks. Of course Real Hard disks were not common.

The original Mac ran on one 400k 3.5 disk that had enough room to hold the operating system MacWrite and MacPaint as well as all your files.

I remember the external model sold for $400.00 when I bought them.


Most people remember using these

Make sure to buy that modem from U.S. Robotics. Their modems are Hayes-compatible. Plus, the cool name.

Ha! I date back to The Source. I think it used the CIA mainframe computer during its slow hours.

I hack using magnetic core. None of this newfangled tape. What would you need that much storage for?

We used paper tape at our ADVENT Christian school. Tried to find a ZORK school, but no luck.

One certainly would think that a Haaaaavaaaad trained M.D. (undregrad and Med school) would know better than to put such idiocy forward.

She can’t be serious, can she?

Classic! I love it! Erase_votes.exe Replace_R_D.exe Add_dead_people.exe Lots of possibilities! I will have to look at our Pennsylvania machines next election, to see if they have a floppy drive.
