Also interesting that this glitch didnt make Biden votes change to trump votes.
Absolutely, I agree. The software interface had to be so sh@tty and confusing that the county election supervisor had the ability to alter results. In the case of Michigan, it sounds like an honest error. Should never happen..
Next election we need poll watchers from other countries in NATO.
Everyone needs to watch the 2006 movie Man of the Year starring Robin Williams. They had a software glitch and a comedian was incorrectly elected President (better option than Biden). They had to do another election and the incumbent Republican won.
You lost ANOTHER submarine?
What a coincidence!
Every glitch goes from Trump to Biden.
Every single one.
Imagine that!
First, we need to differentiate between “voting machines” and “election systems”. Second, with regard to election systems, you as a tech guy will find this well worthwhile:

He says his firm has seen the source code. That’s not to say it is open source, watch and see what your translation is. His credibility seems good to me, although I admit to knowing enough to understand the principles but am not a cybersecurity expert.
Ultimately all systems touching a voters ballot need to be blockchain based. It’s the most secure technology we have and if/when something better comes along, we ought to use that instead. Elections should be protected as well as our nuclear codes.
As you will agree, 99.9% of the “public” wouldn’t know a 1 from a 0 and most of those who do are not going to voluntarily do a thorough security analysis of the election system. That’s why I think this needs to be federalized, within the boundaries set by the Constitution. States designated authority to determine the “The Times, Places and Manner” is no different than the Constitutional protection of free speech or the right to bear arms - it does not imply absolute power to do whatever they want to and some reasonable restrictions are possible, and obviously badly needed. Such as: States can select the “manner” as long as it uses the federally-approved software and networks.
Bttt.
