I am a software engineer.

Any competent software engineer can make any computer say anthing they want it to say regardless of what the user inputs.

I can make the computer say global warming is happening, and give you the results to 10 decimal places.

I can make it give any vote totals I want no matter what actual voters input.

Trusting voting to computers is a ridiculous idea. About the only thing worse would be internet voting.

You are absolutely right. Thank you for weighing in so eloquently.
