After 4 years of 'rat control of Virginia's governor, lt. governor and attorney general offices, and with "their team" in power, I'm betting that any new voting machines will be even more susceptible to hacking, but just by the 'rat party,
If there's a way to steal an election, the 'rats will figure it out.
The hackers in Vegas had physical access to the systems. Almost any system can be hacked once you have physical access.
If you can’t read English on a piece of paper and make a mark next to a name, you have no business voting ... citizen or not.
Gonna smash them with a hammer...after you bleach bit them?
I have to admit that voting in Florida, we fill in ballot and put it in the scanner and no action. Just a thank you. No proof it went through or counted or anything. Not the greatest feeling.
Here’s the way I see it. Electronic voting machines are easier to monitor for illegal activity. Paper ballots are easy to counterfeit.
All this talk about electronic machines is probably bunk. They can’t be manipulated hence the projection of mistrust.
Good. Mark-sense is the only auditable, reliable method to use.
Of course manufacturers would put the same password on every machine — It’s known as the “factory default”. It’s the user’s responsibility to change it to their own. Don’t blame the manufacturer for the incompetence of election officials.
Doesn’t matter.
Hacking is not a problem in Virginia.
The Democrats don’t need to hack to win. They have registered over 200,000 illegal aliens to vote (always democrat) with the help of the SEIU, La Raza, etc., over the last ten years.
With democrats in control of the state offices of governor and attorney general, and the major population areas of Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Norfolk, and a compliant Republican legislature, nothing is ever done to stop the fraud.
Virginia has already been identified by several recent studies as one of the worst vote fraud states.
Virginia was once one of the most solid red states in America.
Now it is now solidly blue, thanks to RINOs and illegal alien and green card non-citizen voting (Indians, Middle Eastern, Asian).
I say "allegedly" because it's just as easy to re-program the optical scanning machine to count votes that were cast by filling in one oval as counting for another candidate.
Just as easy to make it count every third or fourth vote for example, cast for Candidate A as being for Candidate B.
That is how elections are stolen here.
The only "difference" is there's a paper trail that no one ever references to dispute the results of the election. It "costs too much" to do that of course.
So maybe having voter ID cards that are swiped at the voting terminal and can be used only once and then the card is locked out? As in several “underdeveloped nations”? But in the US you can’t fly unless you have proper ID.
‘Scramble to find new voting machines’ - um, fingers and dye, pencils and paper, X marks the spot, drivers license: tried for generations and they seem to work.
This won’t do a thing for honest elections if a crooked governor such as McAlliffe decrees by executive order that all felons can vote, as he did so Hillary could win VA. He should have been sued by the VA GOP, but they are brain dead.
Imagine a business publishing a financial statement with no paper trail.
The business would say, trust us these are the numbers.
Just imagine.
I’m not a programmer, but I can easily see how a re-write of code could throw elections. Example:
1) Sum up all “R” votes, multiply this value by 0.9
2) Round up to next whole number
3) Report this as total “R” votes
4) Sum up all “D” votes, multiply this by 1.111111
5) Round down to next whole number
6) Report this as total “D” votes
7) Self-Delete this code and revert back to original code
The last step is in case the machine is audited.
It’s nice to FINALLY see this wide-open gap in our voting system starting to be addressed - it was STUPID to ever buy these machines.
Ah, yes. Gov. Terry McAuliffe, the penultimate hypocrite. Highly offended and belligerent over the suggestion that there was voter fraud in Virginia in the Presidential election. Now that he’s facing re-election to the Governor’s mansion, the Elections Board is admitting their voting machines are vulnerable to hacking. Still no willingness to look into the numbers of illegal voters that cast votes in that State and will continue to cast fraudulent votes in this next election. They must be McAullife’s base.
Bush and congress at the time are responsible for these machines being used. They used the 2000 election as an excuse to get rid of tried and true voting methods and replace them with things that are prone to rigging, hacking, and error. And they did it on purpose.
