In all 4 of the states, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, a paper ballot is produced by the voting machines. None are connected to the Internet during elections.
The seriousness of this assault acknowledged and aside, who checks that "None are connected to the Internet during elections" and how can that be verified? I don't think it can be (with for-profit corporations still building and maintaining the machines). Also, each "paper ballot" is printed
after the vote is submitted, not simultaneously, which opens the door for shenanigans. Vote tampering after the fact , not "voter fraud." In the end, the only way to go is hand
marked, hand counted paper ballots.
For some of the machines it's pretty easy, they don't have an Internet connection. Dominion machines generally do, however there is no need to connect their machines to the Internet because all election processing is done locally. Since there are several machine manufactures with different models, it's hard to say exactly what provisions are made for Internet Connection. However all of them have one thing in common. All vote collection and processing is controlled locally. There is no need to connect the machines to the Internet during the election or during vote processing. The Internet connection is used strictly to download software updates and all states require validation and recertification after any software or hardware update. When voting software is change, the machine must be reset and a templet of the ballot must entered so there is no way at the polls the software could be modified without tipping off election officials.
To flip votes in this election, the flipper would have to know which states and how many votes to flip before the election. For example, Florida was forecast to be very close and with 29 electoral votes it would be a likely target. However it was not that close. Our flipper could have flipped up to 180,000 votes and it would have had no effect. To have a good chance of changing the election results at least a half million votes would have to be flipped in 8 to 10 states which have different types of machines from different manufactures. And even if our Flipper was lucky enough pick the right states and right numbers, he would likely raise an audit flag. Audit records are produce by every vote and it is not subject to software manipulation. So running a full audit of the election would uncover the fraud.
The new Democracy Suite Voting System from Dominion allows the voter after enter all voting data to press the print button and print his ballot out for review and then deposit in a ballot. An image of ballot is stored in the machine as an audit record.
