Nevada Democratic Party to use Google custom calculator to tally caucus results
The Hill ^

Posted on 02/17/2020 3:33:59 PM PST by TigerClaws

The Nevada State Democratic Party plans to use a Google calculator uploaded to iPads to help tally voting results in the upcoming Nevada caucuses, a top party official announced Thursday.

Party Executive Director Alana Mounce sent a memo explaining that the calculator will be loaded onto 2,000 iPads purchased by the Nevada State Democratic Party, with the iPads then distributed to precinct chairs.

Mounce wrote that the party “consulted with a team of independent security and technical experts to create a simple, user-friendly calculator,” and that the calculator will only be used by “trained precinct chairs and accessed through a secure Google web form.”

Each precinct will also separately record voters and award delegates on paper backup sheets to ensure the results of the caucus are accurate in case something goes wrong with the calculator.

Mounce emphasized that the calculator will not need to be downloaded by precinct officials on to any devices and that the party had invited testing from security experts, volunteers and community leaders to ensure the process was user-friendly.

When reporting voting data, the party will require a two-source verification process of reporting the data through a secure hotline to a trained operator, and then a second source verifying the data using either the paper results or the Google calculator

Dems were already cooperating. They said they would agree to take off their shoes and socks to count past 10 this time.
In Iowa they were too stubborn to do it.

A high school programming class with Google Docs could easily manage the tally.
...........
Give every reporting precinct a distinct log in and a secured password.

Amazing that the Dems could be so tech savvy with Obama and so bone stupid now.

Can it be hacked? That could be fun.

That’s pretty sad that the Dems can’t add.

Hacking would cause total chaos, since they will use two methods of verification, so the hacked total would not match the paper total.

Then call in the army—of Democratic lawyers!

(P.S. Hint to DNC officials—rig the early voting results—nobody will be the wiser!)

How in the world can Mini-Mike expect Democrats to do tech if they can’t do basic math? Maybe a farmer is needed to teach Democrats to add and subtract.

I think they lost all of their smart, sensible ones to a good-paying job in the Trump economy.

They will all get a Willard Tip Calculator.

They don’t have a B, E, R, N or I key.

Don’t ask Mike about technology. He makes a dumb terminal.
