By changing “digital votes” to paper ballots and requiring photo ID and signature verification.
Just ban all electronic voting
Take the door off a microwave oven an bypass the interlocks and you’ve got a Wi-Fi jammer. Just don’t get near it (unless you’re done having kids).
How do they do secure money transfers around the world?
Same technology.
Traceable, and very secure.
The existing system is from the 60’s based on punchcards.
I stopped using them when I was in High School.
It’s not clear that this would accomplish anything, because a dedicated fraudster could theoretically transmit data over the power line.
Ultimately, there are simply too many ways to alter incoming votes AT or within the voting machine. There might be some value to providing a checksum; where all the votes are “added up” into a giant number that overflows continuously, destroying its most significant digit, but ends up with (say) a unique 6 or 8 digit number which could be compared at site “A” with (what should be) that same number at site “B”; both on a calculator-type roll of paper generated at the machine and also transmitted in a separate data packet to wherever the voting machine’s data is transmitted to.
We used to do this with PROMs. Programmable Read Only Memory. Used for machine firmware. The PROM is huge field of 8 or 16-bit numbers which were machine code for the operating software for some machine. The PROMs are “burnt” in a (what else?) PROM burner. All those 8 bit numbers are added up, which turns into a gigantic number, but the significant digits are continually thrown out. In other words, you simply add up 8,192 numbers of 8 digits each. The result is a gigantic number but you don’t care about the billions and gazillions. You just take the last 8 digits of the final number. Now you match that 8 digit number at some point with what should be that same 8 digit number at another location. Trust me, if there is *any* alteration in *any* of those 8 digit numbers of the 8,192, the checksums will not match. It will not tell you WHERE or WHAT the error(s) is/are, but will tell that something is hinky with near metaphysical accuracy.
Please forgive me for reiterating 1982 technology. But the concept is still used.
I’ve been a computer software engineer for 30 years. If someone would ask me I could tell them exactly how. And exactly why.
I could also explained everything that went wrong in the 2020 election.
Use a Dominion tabulator that counts paper ballots which are archived to preserve the audit trail. That’s standard for every election in Canada except at the federal level, where to this day paper ballots are hand-counted after the polls close on Election Night.
Super glue the door shut on remote ballot drop boxes.
Voter ID, in person same day voting, paper ballots.
SHUT DOWN THE GRID, Hand count on paper ballots
How about everyone has to vote in person, with a paper ballot, and we have them dip their fingers in purple dye to make sure they don’t vote more than once? I think I’ve seen this before.
“Wondering if the Tech experts and election legal experts here on FR could suggest how to prevent supposedly “not connected to the internet” (which turned out to BE connected and transmitting to sat uplinks to Europe and, back. “
The voting machines were never connected to the internet. You are confusing that claim.
Precinct data was not sent to Europe.
Precinct data is sent to the state via secured methods.
Hypothetically as one person at one poll location? Pop a spark gap generator at the site, and make sure surveillance cameras and other tech cannot catch you dropping it, as FCC No-Likey. You would have to hide it, so they could not find it. I am guessing if it surprised them, they would not be able to track it down in time to fix the problem. Indeed most might just attribute it all to come WiFi connection problems. But that would accomplish nothing nationwide.
The real answer is blow open the covert intel operation running America, by exposing the surveillance between now and then. If you could get the surveillance exposed and put it on its heels, I am not sure they could rig the election without that criminal surveillance operation’s overwatch.
People do not understand. The problem is not a handful of Democrat poll workers. It is a whole secret society of citizen informants with an organization based off the old East German Stasi, operating as a professional intelligence operation taking over the US.
With that operational, you will not stop the next election from being rigged.
Use paper votes and scanners - and find some honest and capable IT folks....
