" Of all the gin joints..." (Black box election fraud just happened to me.)

6. And everytime you misdial your smart phone

it is because the programmer intended you to dial the wrong number, not because either your phone or your finger miscalibrated.

That's why you are presented with screens to check your vote - mis-calibration, both human and machine, can result in the wrong box being hit by the human or "perceived" by the computer. Yes - always check your vote, not because the machine "flipped" it, but because it may not have been recorded in the first place, because either you or the machine screwed up.

Do you really think someone clever enough to accomplish the extremely complex task of programming a voting machine in a way that it can be used to predictably shift votes (when the thousands of unrelated voting jurisdictions enter the candidates - whose names were unknown at the time the software was written - and parties - which might be easier to guess but are still not under the control of the programmers), would be dumb enough to let you see it?
