I just got a slap in the face today that woke me up to the fact it ISN’T DOMINION SERVERS that is the PROBLEM it is the DEMOCRATS and THOSE who know how to MANIPULATE them.
Franklin County WA is MY County.
“Franklin County is the ONLY PLACE in Washington that uses a DOMINION system, and has for MORE THAN 10 YEARS, Wyman said.” (I have put some words in caps)
“Because Washington is an ALL-MAIL VOTING state, the counties always have the paper ballots to check against the result, she said.”
“They do both a pre-election check with a stack of sample ballots that have been marked and recorded, then compare that count to the machine results. After election night, they take several precincts at random, hand count the ballots and compare those results to the machine results.”
“Franklin County’s results matched both times, she said.”
One complaint the Trump team has in other states with poll-site voting involves “overvoting,” or the number of ballots counted not matching the number of voters who signed at the polls.
Washington residents don’t vote at poll sites, but they did up until 2004, when Wyman was running elections in Thurston County.
“Poll site voting is described as being this bastion of perfection,” she said. “It wasn’t.”
Every election, there were 20% to 30% of the poll site records that didn’t quite balance when they came in, because of human error. For about half of those, minor mistakes were readily apparent and corrected.
Some counties would allow a precinct poll book to be off by as many as three votes.”

MY COUNTY, Franklin, has always voted mostly straight Republican and most of Eastern Washington has too.
Our SOS, Kim Wyman, is a Republican.
I wonder if they have a vote minimum before the algorithm kicks in. After 100 votes, then one Trump vote equals .1 Trump and .9 Biden. I’m just a housewife turned early childhood educator though.
“Every election, there were 20% to 30% of the poll site records that didn’t quite balance when they came in, because of human error. For about half of those, minor mistakes were readily apparent and corrected.”
And there would be some give-and-take on both sides. Sometimes the errors would favor one candidate and sometimes another. Those are if the human error is just accidental.
I think the problem is both. Without an election program that is not secure and easily manipulated to favor one candidate over another, there would still be all the other types of fraud. So yeah it’s that we have people that are unscrupulous enough tp want to cheap by any means.
Sorry I haven’t been around today. I’ve been packing and getting ready to go visit my friend in Kentucky for a week. One plan she has is for me to find a home I fall in love with so we move there. Could happen, the houses I see on the internet are pretty nice, and cheaper than here now that prices have zoomed up here. But they’re still that pesky personal property tax and state income tax Kentucky has.
Colorado was red until mail in voting!
