ok I will give you that.
HOWEVER,
With the electronic you only need ONE person in the chain to achieve the fraud.
With paper you need help.
ONE persone infects the virus and the virus self deletes leaving only the fruad as the only record.
Ok, from that video, it was not clear how the virus was transferred to the voting machine. Regardless of what technology is used, albeit paper, mechanical, or computer, the need for physical security cannot be overstated. In any situation, I can see the ability of a single individual being able to pull this off.
I wonder what the base OS is on these machines? I hope it is not M$ based...hehehe Maybe the manufacturer can incorporate some checksum calculations or some other means to ensure the machines have not been tampered with.
Correct, but there are always telltale traces on the hard drive which are susceptible to forensic analysis.
Many, many child porn offenders are in prison because they thought they had used state-of-the-art overwriting software to wipe their hard drives, but federal hardware experts were able to reconstruct images that had been wiped in binary several hundred times.
And you cannot wipe a defrauded election machine drive even once, because you will erase the fake votes along with the virus. You basically have to hope that no one suspects anything fishy, because once there's an investigation, you're toast.
It's even easier to find the culprit because, as you say, a single person can pull this off and the chain of custody is a matter of record.
