No voting machine used in any election should use proprietary software. Going forward this needs to be the priority in every election.
Proprietary voting machine software amounts to a secret, unmonitored tally of votes by an unaccountable third party. "It doesn't matter how people vote. What matters is who counts the votes"
Voting machine software must be open-source and capable of being examined before the election, monitored during the election, and examined after the election.
No voting machine should be hardwired or wifi-enabled to connect to any outside system. Voting machines must be able to examined by all qualified parties involved.
Any modification of voting software before, during, and after the election must be made and approved by qualified inspectors representing all candidates.
The software must register "one man, one vote". No fractional counting, no weighted counting, and no proportional counting.
Adjudication must be done with poll watchers from all parties present and not an unmonitored lone individual in a back room after hours.
Until we use open-source software that can be examined by qualified inspectors the result of every election remain suspect.
We shouldn't be using private firms with questionable associations and backgrounds to write machine code used in our election. Anyone who submits a contract to provide voting machine software they claim is proprietary should be excluded from receiving a contract
BINGO
How the left can cause the death of a nation
For this election, I believe the bigger issue has been the fraudulent use of absentee ballots, not improper counting by the machines. That’s why recounts come up with the same results (+/- a few votes). we really need a forensic audit to determine how many of the absentee ballots were actually submitted by the legal voters listed.
