How to Hack an Election in 7 Minutes
Politico ^ | August 5, 2016 | Alex Halderman

Posted on 08/07/2016 1:02:10 PM PDT by ConservativeDude

When Princeton professor Andrew Appel decided to hack into a voting machine, he didn’t try to mimic the Russian attackers who hacked into the Democratic National Committee's database last month. He didn’t write malicious code, or linger near a polling place where the machines can go unguarded for days. Instead, he bought one online.

I have no trust in what government does. Hell, a felon walks loose. Anyone else, other than Killary, would be in jail.

Again, tell me why the Governor of Wisconsin (Scott Walker) is not allowed to protect the voting machines used in Wisconsin?

If that is true, why is his state still using machines that he can't protect?

I am certain that any machine can be manipulated. But, I am also certain that any machine can be protected. And, as an alternative, I am also certain that there is no need to use machines that don't use paper ballots.

There are a few articles on the latest polling floating around here somewhere, basically they are only polling previously registered voters and do not take into account crossover voters or Brand New Disenfranchised Voters, which we know is in the Tens of Millions, all Thanks to Donald Trump.

The People are literally coming out of the wood work to see and support Donald Trump, as for Hillary, with the exception of the Entire Media and the Ruling Class, the PEOPLE are NOT THERE TO SEE OR SUPPORT HER, hell she can barely get 500 people to show up for anything.

This is going to get rather interesting pretty soon.

We have two basic problems here: a modern disagreement about what objective reality is, and a disagreement (which follows from that) about what constitutes “rights.”

If counting the vote is a matter of opinion or perception or feelings, anything but objective, quantifiable reality, we are done for.

I think the last time the votes were counted fairly, physically, was in 2000. The Democrats did not like the result. Yes, it was close. Yes, it was messy. The result was legitimate. They did not like it. They contested it. “Bush was selected [by the Supreme Court], not elected,” was their cry. They cried for the abolition of the Electoral College and the establishment of a nationwide popular vote. They cried for the abolition of paper ballots and the establishment of electronic voting instead.

We still have the shadow of 2000 looming over this election, I believe.

The Democrats are still able to commit physical vote fraud and produce boxes of ballots from car trunks.

The Democrats are still able to drum up thugs to appear at polling places to threaten and intimidate people from casting their votes.

We remember Melowese Richardson (an official poll worker!), who believed BO had a “right” to be elected president, and was therefore going to vote as many times as she could to make that possible.

We still have people being driven from polling place to polling place to cast their ballots multiple times, no ID checked.

I like the idea of purple ink and a single election day that really means something.

I want Trump to win, but I want that win to be unquestionable, even to his enemies. Let them cry about it.

I think behind a lot of the Democrat/progressive vote fraud is this warped concept of “rights” and “justice.” They don’t get their concept of rights from Almighty God. It’s a self-derived concept. It’s purely subjective, emotional, irrational. It’s the “right” for a candidate to sit in the Oval Office purely due to his skin color. It’s the “right” of a woman to declare the baby growing in her womb as “just tissue” and to dispose of it like it’s a fingernail clipping. It’s the “right” to cast your (physical) vote as many times as you want (as if it were some Internet poll) to get the result desired.

Until both sides / all parties have the same God-given concept of rights (and corresponding responsibilities) we will continue to have vote fraud in one form or another.

There was a time in this country when objective reality could be agreed upon. I think that was a couple of generations ago, sadly.

What will it take to bring objective reality back?

It seems to me that it is very dangerous to convince people that our electoral system is hopelessly fraudulent. If you succeed, you will just discourage people on our side from participating. Meanwhile, Clinton’s people will keep voting. I don’t think that that is a good idea all all.

Seems like the first place to start looking for fraud would all the large city precincts where out of 10’s of thousands of votes, not even one vote was for Romney. Supposedly a statistical impossibility.

And then they can look at the many precincts around the country that had thousands of more votes cast than they had registered voters.

“I have never known anyone who claimed to have voted improperly. ... Nobody is motivated to go to all that trouble to cast an illegal vote. That doesn’t make any sense at all.”

Of course people won’t claim to doing something illegal. Just Google the words: illegal voting unions busing. It’s been going on for decades.

I am convinced that one of three things will occur this fall:

1. Donald Trump will win and be elected President.
2. Or Christ will Rapture His Bride.
3. Or there will be a civil war of such proportions that mankind has never seen before, for the

It's not that. I've been around a long time. If any significant number of people had gone to all that trouble to cast an illegal vote, I would know someone who knew something about it. It's just not there - ghosts. See, nobody wants to do it because there is no real return. It wouldn't even be fun.

But, these machines are very risky. If there is a problem, that's where it will be.

Oh, he might be allowed, if he could outsmart the hackers. That’s doubtful.

But the more fundamental problem is that Walker doesn’t want to.

That would be correct...if the system were in fact functioning properly. That’s the question at hand.

The Clintons have the means; obviously they have the will.

Of course we should show up at campaign events, of course, we should vote. But what about after “election” day? There’s going to be a whole lot of people here and elsewhere who are going to be very, very, shocked if it plays out as speculated....what then?

First they photoshop and create TV pictures.
Then they fudge the polls.
Then they stuff and boost the ballot machines, “deduct” repub votes.
Then they have the WINNER!
So far it worked with Kenyan and other rats.
Time to get paper ballot backups with possible recounts.

Apart from beseeching The LORD directly with prayer and fasting there is nothing more important than addressing the problem of the voting machines. We CANNOT let this pass. We MUST find a solution. The time for ringing our hands and accepting fraud is over.
