Jill Stein: People Walk Around With Floppy Disks to Hack Voter Machines

Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein told Fox News’ Neil Cavuto on Wednesday that people walk around with floppy disks in order to hack and reprogram voter machines.

Stein–who is attempting to launch election recount efforts in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to contest Donald Trump’s victory–first explained the indicators that people looked for when a machine is suspected of being tampered with or having an error.

“So the indicators that they look for if they want to see a machine error or a foul play or tampering, you look for a couple of indicators,” she said. “So one is close race. You also look for an outcome which is the opposite of what was suggested by the polls and the exit polls.”

What - doesn’t everyone carry a floppy disk when they go to vote? I am sure the voting monitors are perfectly use to it...

I personally carry around a couple of spare vacuum tubes so that I can rip off ATMs. And just yesterday, I spliced into the telegraph line and got stock quotes minutes before they were released to the public.

When you know technology, the world’s yer oyster!

Now that's funny, right there.

My advice for Miss Stein: Hey Jill, the 80's called and left a message saying only "thumb-drive". Know what that means?

[libh8er]

Why not magnetic tapes ?

[sipow]

Every time I see Jill Stein it turns my hard drive into a floppy di*k.

[mykroar]

Depends. Are they the new fangled 3.5” or 8”?

[Maine Mariner]

Please Do! Carry them around your Democrat co-workers!

So what term is used...? I hear African American, I hear black....it’s all over the map!

[snoringbear]

"Ha ha! That's the kind of thing an out-of-touch person her age would think. Right there with except for the "person her age" part. That was kinda hurtful. Now, back to work, wonder where I put my 8" floppy with my Lotus 1,2,3 loaded in it? Heh, heh😉

Say what you will, to me this is just another exhibit in a long line of just how grossly out of touch with real life most of the people in DC are. Their world is a fiction, purposely insulated from the population theyre supposed to be serving. They view themselves as rulers not servants. Its not just the dems who dont like the little people. I really hope Trump follows thru and truly does drain the swamp. Even if the waterline drops just a bit itll be welcome relief.

[Sacajaweau]

Boy....she is obviously really, really computer stupid.

[Pollster1]

If I see a voting machine, even one in the entire country, that takes the 5.25 floppy disk (you showed the 3.5" hard disk, which is also obsolete), I will be impressed. Green candidate Jill Stein seems to have smoked too many green herbs to function in the 21st century.

I knew something sinister was happening when they walked me over to this voting machine:

I keep a couple wire boards in my car just in case I need to reprogram punch card output.

[Enlightened1]

Floppy disks???

What a dunce!

You are proving to anyone with a computer IQ of 70 that you are clueless.

What an idiot!

[Tax-chick]

There’s a reason I included “out-of-touch.” I know that plenty of people in their 60s are technologically modern.

[FourtySeven]

Yeah you know I should have fought harder when the election judge took my floppy with “TrumpVictory2016.exe” written on it. Might have taken MD for Trump too!

As Bugs would say, “what a maroon!”

[An.American.Expatriate]

Maybe that’s why the Greens always loose, they can’t find a place to insert the 8” Floppy!

[ScottinVA]

Floppy disks? I guess they've moved up...

-- Is she married? I pity the poor SOB that is her husband --

She is married, but have no pity for he husband. He's as nutty as she is. Has to be.

3 X 5 cards ?
