this is why you don’t have electronic polling books, especially ones that can be dynamically updated.
the old way with hardcopy was best. he was probably trying (or succeeding) to boot a foreign os and download the data as a baseline for later voter identity theft, prospects for ballot stuffing, or even outright election vote stealing in the general. i’d like to know what the record structure is in that poll book and whether records/items were modifiable.
I agree. The old methods are still used in countries that get their votes counted the same evening.
