In reply to the discussion: Wasn't sure whether to believe the Anonymous/Rove story,until the reaction telling us to shut up @it [View all]Atman
(31,464 posts)That's been a great talking point, but seriously...let's take Husted's "software patch" for tabulating in real time as an example...
You cast your vote on an ATM-like machine. They no longer flip the votes like they used to, that's old-school! Instead, you get a "receipt" saying you voted for Candidate D. THEN, "Software Patch" sends your vote to the central tabulator to be counted in real time...and in your vote's electronic journey, it is flipped, using an algorithm based upon the current lead/deficit of the person the software patch has been programmed to "win."
You'd never know a f**king thing. Your receipt is worthless since the algorithm always keeps the vote spread outside the range of automatic recount. It will NEVER be counted. The SoC will say "Well, we had no irregularities, everyone got their receipts, Candidate R has won!"
What good would your crummy receipt do you then?
This is why ALL proprietary EV machines MUST be eliminated, or their code open to regular inspection at the very least. It is Pollyanna thinking to believe that the power brokers are being honest when they've just spent $350,000,000 to win a $400,000 job.
