If time needs to be wasted on this, then what must be proven must be with ballots and machines from the election. First, the real ballots need to be hand counted. Then the real ballots need to pass through the original tabulating machines with the original software, both used to count the same real ballots in the election. Compare the hand count to the machine count. Compare the hand count to the election count. There is proof positive of fraud.
But really none of this is required. We simply need election laws that require legal voters to fill out ballots by hand (not machines) and legal votes counted by people (not machines) observed by all parties involved to insure an accurate and fair count.
This nonsense of whether machines can be rigged from fraud is a distraction. Of course they can. Anyone one with an ounce of knowledge can understand that. Anyone with a miniscule amount of programming expertise could do the rigging. So let's cut this crap out and creating distractions. Legal voters, casting hand ballots on ONE election day, and counted by observed people immediately following the election. It's that damn simple and the way it had be done for well over 200 years.
What he shows is that a full audit, not just canvas needs to be done. Basically showing that what some places like GA have done is useless.
I think that's the point. And what he is saying it, it is very easy to change the machine AND the software so that the vote totals match each other but they do not match the ballots submitted.
There mere notion that a voting machine can be so easily programmed with "little skill" is bad enough. There are probably 100 other exploits and errors that could be there such as double-scanning ballots, of course feeding bogus ballots, admin access to the raw DB files... you name it. Seems ridiculously insecure.
Not exactly true.
What he did was mimic the program that was on the compact flash card that was used by the machine in Antrim County on Nov 6. That was one of the recounts there.
They could not use the one from Nov 3, because they magically “disappeared”, BUT what he did was exactly create the outcome that happened.
I have been programming in SQL for almost 20 years, if vote totals are stored in a SQL DB, this is very possible to do. It is also possible to connect the database remotely. It is possible to wipe the transaction logs (which also happened).
