The only thing that I can suggest is that machines NEVER be allowed to do anything except count votes. The votes need to be on a PAPER BALLOT and those ballots need to be guarded carefully. That way, if necessary, the tallies can be checked by humans who will count them by hand.
An all-electronic voting machine is a recipe for fraud. I would have NO PROBLEM programming such a machine in a variety of ways to achieve a win for whomever I chose. (If you control every machine, you don’t need to change every vote, just enough to get a majority.)
BTW, some idiot “expert” on NPR (Fresh Air) was saying that you couldn’t steal an election via voting machine fraud because the voting machines were not connected to the internet. As if that were the only way to rig it. The whole program (30-60 minutes) about election fraud was itself part of the voter fraud. It was a propaganda piece designed to “assure” people that election fraud was so rare it could not possibly change the outcome of an election. They went through the possible ways of committing fraud one by one and mixed enough truth in with the lies to make it sound plausible. It was pure propaganda.
“...machines NEVER be allowed to do anything except count votes. The votes need to be on a PAPER BALLOT ...guarded carefully..”
Thank you for the detailed response and proposed solution that would actually work.
This makes so much sense. I am getting very nervous that the continued insistence by the MSM on touting the faked polls with Hillary ahead that are clearly wrong is a flag that the machines are rigged and they are sure of a win NO MATTER WHAT. This insistence that Hillary is ahead could be more sinister than just trying to suppress the vote although that is bad enough.
Sorry to be a concern troll, however it is best to have a solution beforehand.
NPR is awful! My 80 year old mother watches it alone and of course loves Hillary over it. I can’t even visit her if it is on spewing propaganda. Why do some people fail to realize that it is propaganda? Very frustrating.
Trump’s campaign needs to insist on parallel back up paper ballots. I hope they are.
