>>>They had electronic machines where the records were supposed to be preserved but were not. I suspect these machines were programed to flip a certain percentage of votes.

No. The machines have the ability to capture a digital image of the paper ballot. Not all machines were programmed to do so because the Alabama Legislature has never required retention of the digital image. In its evaluation of what is required to ensure election integrity, the Legislature has deemed it necessary only to retain the paper ballots. These paper ballots would be used in the event of a recount.

But if votes are flipped the flippers can always make sure that the margin is wide enough that there will never be a recount - the only thing that would ever detect the flipping.

Correct?

Or how do they audit the process to be absolutely sure that no flipping has happened?

Do the voters get a receipt for their vote? And if so, how can they know that vote wasn’t flipped in the tabulation process?
