2016: A Hacked Election?
American Thinker ^ | October 31, 2016 | Peggy Ryan

Posted on 10/31/2016 5:18:22 AM PDT by Kaslin

With the proliferation of electronic voting machines across the country, many are nervous about the integrity of our election.  Our government has assured us that there's no problem (oh, now I feel better).  They promise there''s no voter fraud – just more crazy, conspiracy talk.  Of course, they've been proven wrong again and again with the voting dead, absentee ballots, and yes, machines switching votes.

Voting irregularities don't always point to fraud, but rigged voting machines are in-our-face vote theft.  Unless we've reached the age of the Terminator, where machines have a life of their own, machines have to be programmed by people to steal votes.  And no, it's not Russia – it's companies like Dominion Voting, who donate big to the Clinton Foundation.  Or Smartmatic, with ties to George Soros, who has consistently fought voter rights.

Donald Trump's enemies (government) will do anything to stop him, so I doubt they'd refrain from tampering with the voting machine's code.  Nah!  As sure as Hillary's taking a nap right now, they've got their evil, corrupt fingerprints all over these machines.

Okay, it would be naive to rule out vote-tampering, but what can we do to protect our ballot? Sounds like they have a lock, right? Well, if we continue on our present course, yes, they'll at least have a good shot at success. In reported vote-switching incidents to date, a person votes a straight Republican ticket, and before he posts that vote, magic circus, it flips to Clinton-Kaine at the top of the ticket. The voter then reports the problem to a poll worker, who assists to get the correct ballot accepted. Then the process moves on to the next voter.

Absentee ballots are paper ballots.

Time we have a Butlerian Jehad on voting: no "smart" machines only paper ballots.

Scanning the ballots OK but when there is a whiff of mischief a manual tally of paper ballots may be done.

The era of crooked Soros Smartmatic is over.

The voting machines used in our local elections have a feature that MAKES you address your vote to insure it is accurate PRIOR to recording it. Once you cast your vote, the machine records your vote on a paper tape roll which you can readily see as it prints your vote on that roll. I do not see a way that your vote could be cast other than what you have now documented. Is there another way that vote would be redirected to an opposing party or candidate?

If they steal the election, REMOVING THEM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY may be the only option.

If there is evidence of voter fraud in this election, every single vote should be verified by a visit to that person’s home. And I mean everyone in the USA. If it can be done when taking the census,it can be done to preserve the integrity of the election process, which, in my opinion is far more important than the census. And convicted violators should be executed for espionage.

One additional safeguard would be a law that requires that a list of everyone who voted in an election be published which includes their name and address. This list could then be researched for dead folks, multiple votes, ineligible voters, etc. If the number of voters listed does not match the total number of votes then you also have evidence of fraud. This would be an easy first step to help eliminate cheating.

If it took the use of electronic voting machines for folks to question the integrity of our elections, they are VERY late to the party.

“If they don’t speak English...” then they shouldn’t be citizens and shouldn’t have the right to vote!

I thought that in order to become a US citizen, you had to demonstrate an ability to speak and understand English!

Just logically, absentee ballots are tricky. Too many out-of-scrutiny points between getting that ballot to the voter and it being registered to be counted. I’d rather vote in person....JMHO

Is in-person electronic or paper?

I agree completely. They should learn to speak English.

There is no reason for us to learn speak Spanish, or any other language. Although it doesn't hurt if someone wants to learn another language.

It depends on the voting machines. The ones my county has are very reliable and are not Diebold or any Soros machines

In person is a ballot. The results are tallied and at the end of the day recorded on a memory stick. At the end of the voting day, all of the voting materials including the memory stick have to be brought to the Drop-Off Location for the Precinct, by one Democrat and one Republican. The Provisional Votes are not yet counted at that point. FWIW, there are so many safeguards that one wonders how anyone scrutinizes all of them.
