Researchers have found that few people verify the list of choices on their ballot, but instead just take the ballot generated by the machine and cast it.
Before this election Democrats and Republicans argued against using this type of voting machine. Now the same Democrats are claiming that the machines are foolproof.
Getting a voting machine that had a printed ballot was by court order. Georgia used to have an all electronic system.
I know I checked my ballot and I validated that I did. I saw the Georgia Tech study that indicated it could be problematical to assume ballots are checked by the voter. What the "pure" system that is claimed is for 100% voter marked ballot vs. what Georgia has which is 100% Ballot Marking Device. Thus, the printed ballot is not directly marked upon by the voter.
For me, I am fine with the new system. My first time using it and I checked every selection and had no problems. The paper ballot I cast was later hand counted. If there was massive vote flipping or vote dropping via the QR code printed, it wasn't validated by the hand count of the ballots by the printed summary. For massive fraud, we would have seen very many instances of upset voters who were given a printed ballot without their choices represented. I hear about a few here and there, but nothing that suggests the Chicoms and Iranians were pulling levers from a server in Germany. Or have we already moved on from the Kraken?
Anyway, the issue is pretty simple as regards Georgia and the Presidential race. When you add up the paper ballots cast in the election, Biden won. We better be working on figuring out which or how many of the paper ballots are invalid. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Dominion is a dry hole as regards the Georgia Presidential Preference outcome.
That’s not what Powell and Wood say.
The claimed risk isn't QR code flipping, it is flipping or dropping of races before generating the ballot. The difference of about 12,000 votes in just under 5 million total ballots is a small percentage. I don't have time to run down the percentage that were absentee ballots, but it is possible that the 12,000 vote difference is less than 1% of the number of ballots cast using the in person Dominion machines.
In that situation you would not expect to see many people reporting an incorrect ballot. If the code switched one vote for every 100 voters, and 10% of voters validated their ballot then in many polling places no one would detect the swap.
BTW, I'm just repeating the arguments Democrats made a couple of months ago. Apparently they have forgotten that now.
