In recent closed meetings the government’s Election Assistance Commission (EAC) eliminated the requirement that banned voting machines from connecting to the Internet. The AP reported (emphasis added):
Key elements of the first federal technology standards for voting equipment in 15 years should be scrapped because language that would have banned the devices from connecting to the internet was dropped after private meetings held with manufacturers, according to a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday.
The lawsuit against the U.S. Election Assistance Commission [EAC], filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., claims those meetings should have been open and that changes to the draft standards should have been shared with the commission’s advisory and standards boards. The lawsuit seeks to have those changes set aside.
The standards, approved in February, did not include draft language that would have banned wireless technology from voting equipment under federal certification guidelines. Voting security experts say the machines will be vulnerable to hacking without such a ban.
While the commission’s certification guidelines are voluntary, multiple states use them to set mandatory requirements for voting equipment.
We’ve written about the EAC before. This entity certified their only two election auditors within four hours after we reported that these firms were not certified.

Harder to screw with those smart, RCV enabled voting machines without internet access.
Someone more easily identifiable might have to get his/her hands dirtier otherwise.
Voter ID is the LEAST of our problems.
Even if every voter is a legal voter, with these RCV enabled machines, Deep State can still steal elections.
We need to go back to dumb voting machines.
>>Key elements of the first federal technology standards for voting equipment in 15 years should be scrapped because language that would have banned the devices from connecting to the internet was dropped after private meetings held with manufacturers
The same manufacturers who deny pursuing such designs?
P
We need to go back to NO voting machines.
Paper ballots ONLY! Counted by hand in front of witnesses from ALL parties on the ballot........................
The following restrictions should be adopted:
1) only a single port available to update a voting machine
2) that port should be double locked (one lock provided per party) and physically unable to be used while locked
3) locks should be applied right after certification of the device.
4) locks should be removed only in the presence of both parties.
5) The first action should be a backup/snapshot of the device when unlocked.
Other restrictions-
All devices to be purchased from US companies and manufactured on US soil
Possession of voting equipment without authorization should be a felony
Prohibit the importation of ballots
Possession of a ballot in any state or federal election without authorization should be prosecuted as a counterfeiting.
All ballots should be marked with manufacture, lot number and date of printing.
All ballots should provide an area where ballot devices can mark to indicate the machine (serial number), action (opened, read, tabulated, etc), and data/time of the action.
All tabulation equipment required to take a digital image of the ballot prior to tabulation.
Sure, just a few weeks after a quarter of the country was brought to a halt because some hackers extorted a pipeline. Prefect time to decalare that the internet is totally safe.
This is what people do when they don't care who knows they are rigging things.
"The most secure election,..ever " was debunked,
especially when we were given assurances that the machines had NO INTERNET CONNECTION, which was a lie.
Internet connection opens up elections, the grid, fuel distribution, and even supply chain to international hacking and adjustments.
Ask Capital Fuel, last month for example.
Biden already, mistakenly, let the 'cat out of the bag' when he stated : "What matters is who counts the votes".
The Federal Elections Agency has just revealed its' true partisan bias by allowing more of this international mischievous behavior, again.
The best response to sudden change in election procedure, again,
dereliction of duty to protect the integrity of future elections is to :
Paper ballots have a longer history of vote fraud than electronic voting machines.
What we really need human readable receipts that actually link back to the machine on which the vote was cast. That gives an extra audit point - do the number of receipts match the number of votes cast on the machine?
Maybe a date and time, too - overlapping times would be another sign of fraud.
Oops, pasted a quote from another thread on the gay choir singing about coming for kids. the rest was meant for this thread at least.
I think we should all bring a taser next time we vote. Find a metal spot on the machine. bzzzzt.
LOL...probably somehow related. 🤣
What does rank choice voting have to do with anything at all?
Isn’t that special?
Wrong. No electronic voting. Period.
This must be fought in the courts before it ends up in the streets!

In addition, big population centers (cities and counties) are required to report voting results and certify all ballots have been collected and counted.
They would also have to certify whether or not their vote tallies matched each precinct’s voter registrations rolls.
Only then would the more suburban and rural districts begin their counts. The delay is to deny information to election fraudsters about how many opposition votes need to be overcome.
I leave it to discussion how small a city’s or county’s population would need to be to fall into the second reporting category.
The idea here is to eliminate big counties/cities suddenly “discovering” masses of overlooked uncounted ballots that just happen to heavily favor a particular party’s candidate and swing the election.
Yes, this would slow down election results reporting and that would frustrate the MSMs thirst for instant reporting. How is this a bad thing?
Voting machines need to be Open Source. Let the world see the code. They would run Linux. They also need to be built using common, standardized components that many many tech geek types are familiar with.
No networking ports or bluetooth or wifi. They can have a little printer similar to a cash register in size that prints out a tally. Election workers can call in the numbers via phone. (no thermal paper)
With AZ saying they need to throw out the machines that Cuber Ninjas touched and PA talking the same, it would be a good time for some entrepreneur to do a start up for making safe, simple, secure voting machines. Design them and have an ATM machine manufacturer produce them. Once a machine or set of machines are available. People can raise hell to get them put into use.
Hell, I took a bubble test at the end of the school year back in the late 70s to early 80s and remember them being adamant about us filling in the bubble nice and dark and solid so a machine could tally the scores. Now 40 years later they can’t figure out how to do the same.
