That Venezuela smell was back in U.S. election news when the press reported that a voting machine 'glitch' flipped some 6,000 votes cast for President Trump to Joe Biden in Michigan.
Hadn't we heard that story before? Flipped votes in computer systems? The last time we heard about that was in Venezuela's 2004 fraud-plagued recall referendum on then-President Hugo Chavez. Millions and millions of Venezuelans marched in the streets against him , and then when the recall referendum was held, it failed hugely, something that seemed very strange given the size of the crowds. That was the fiasco that official election observer Jimmy Carter praised so highly as free and fair "despite what went on in the totalization room" according to the Carter Center report. After that, computer scientists from Amherst, Stanford, U.C. Santa Cruz, Johns Hopkins, and Harvard all found evidence of vote flipping statistically speaking. Besides their conclusions that it was a statistical impossibility, a well-known pollster, Penn, Schoen & Berland, taking exit polls at the same referendum found that 60% were in favor of throwing Chavez out, and 40% favored keeping him. Much to his surprise, the scorecard came out in almost the exact reverse, 58-42. Flipped.
And there are machines that flip votes. It's one reason why many, such as Instapundit's Glenn Reynolds, thinks only a return to paper ballots and in-person voting will restore confidence in flawed electoral systems.
According to this fascinating thread of apparently conservative coders and engineers, the sense is that the fraud wasn't directly written into the code, which would have been easy to detect. More likely, it was embedded into the compiler, deep into the back-end of the computer program...

It’s called ‘Score Card’ and it’s an app.
Maybe Nancy Polousie and Dianne Feinstein would like to testify under oath about how these systems work before a grand jury...
The problem is there is no way to allow you to see how your vote was tallied and stilk retain anonymity. Until now. Using blockchain your ballot could be assigned a blockchain key known only to you. You would validate your ballot and then it would be locked down via blockchain making extremely hard to secretly change it. . Then all votes would be entered into a database that shows theanonymous key and it’s accompanying choices.
I probably read that here on FR.
“The problem is there is no way to allow you to see how your vote was tallied”

While that may be true, why couldn’t a group of equally divided Trump/Biden test ballots be run thru each the suspect machines at this point to see if the totals comes out equal or if there is a percentage shift caused by a modified software program? If they don’t come out equal then the machines software has been corrupted.
Because it is a switch. It can be flipped on then off. Almost like dumping invalid ballots into a pile of good ones.
4-6 pts larger, a heavier weight, and tighten the kerning between A and U.
Has this been explained yet? Certainly someone would know what caused it. It’s not that hard to figure out.
It’s extremely complicated, here’s some info on one of the possible methods...

Great graphic.
It’s easier to do QA validation than to debug in this environment.
OK, thx!
Oh! I tried to add a keyword, but I misspelled Venezuela.
