Asking the question does not make you nuts, but here are some facts.
The voting machines in our district (I work the polls) start the day by printing out a starting tally when the machine is first turned on. It always reads zero. If it does not we are to call the county for instructions. The machines are not connected to the internet or any phone line. At the closing of the polls the machines print out a final tally. The start and finish tallies have to be signed by us board workers and returned to Borough Hall along with the recording cartridges. So unlike a box of paper ballots, they couldn't be switched out from a car trunk between the polling place and the destination.
There are 565 municipalities in New Jersey. I tried to search the number of total districts (one polling place per district; our municipality has four) but couldn't find a figure for that.
So to have the machines fiddled with to, say, change every third R vote to (D)RAT would require a full time crew working double shifts between elections at each machine storage location. Meaning fraud in that manner is unlikely.
I think we lost because our state is too RAT infested for us to win.
The RAT dominated legislature was at fault for that. They set him up, good.
But you can only protect them AT HOME, unless you are one of the very few law-abiding-citizens who has been issued a carry permit (almost impossible to obtain among the unconnected). And since you got them legally, they know exactly where to go to confiscate them.
