I will not dispute your point. If only a presidential election were determined by paper ballots, with optimal scan and hand count. Due to population expansion, although, not many takers on recounting by hand I would imagine.
Future Elections: 2022 and beyond: US needs to ensure all states are using secure machines meaning: zero connected to a modem or cell phone etc. election equipment sales tactics, the details of how voting precincts need to do better (by force it would appear for some) and no, I'm not talking about mail-in ballots or ballots coming back in a day before they were mailed out.
Reality is that voting machines will be hacked unless the US requires voting machine manufacturers to provide proof they've enhanced the machines' security measures to prevent fraud and that their machines are not connected to a modem. The machine errors are easily manipulated, if someone has sold the machines for instance he or she knows a lot of the tricks. I watched a video with an ex-salesman describing the ways the machine could be hacked or manipulated. If I find it, I'll link it shortly.
"IT and cyber-security specialist
Melissa Carone, who on November 3 and 4 worked as a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems — the company that provided the voting machines in 66 of Michigan’s 83
counties in 2020 — told a Michigan Senate Oversight Committee hearing: “What I witnessed at the TDS Center [where votes were being counted] was complete fraud. The whole 27 hours I was there. There were batches of ballots being ran through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted eight to ten times, I watched this with my own eyes. I was there to assist with IT.” Adding that she was “under the impression 100 percent that all of these workers were in on this,” Carone claimed: “There was not a single ballot that the whole night, the whole 27 hours that I was there, that was for Donald Trump, not one.” "
Ok, so Dominion wanted defamation of character following this court testimony. It's about a 20 minute clip, and if you can get through all of her "uhmmmm's" I wish they could have showed her face but who knows...angry lady like Dominion implies or truthful?
I'm focused mostly on the machine aspect of election fraud. When I read this following article I became aware of the possibilities. Plus, after I read ES&S's claim about zero internet connection was completely bogus and they knew it when they stated it, I began to think it was time for karma for these profiteer companies.
A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did.
