(20,887 posts)If you vote in Ohio, you know that governor Ted Strickland took those machines out when he took office in 2007 because they had no printed accountability and replaced them with the system we use today. You may recall that Obama handily won Ohio under the new system in '08 and in '12.
I have a feeling you already knew that but are trying to fuck with me. I thoroughly explained the failsafe process with the paper backup and how the print is compared to the electronic count at the end of the day. Those links you provided are no longer valid, but if you can offer one way someone can cheat Ohio's machines now, I can probably explain why it won't work. I'm that familiar with the system, so instead of 11 year old conspiracy theories, come up with something fresh.
BTW: You may not be aware- though I already explained- that Ohio's machines are supplied by three unrelated companies to avoid any deceptive influence by one supplier. If one company's machines all seem to favor one candidate, that could result in a simple audit of the archived paper printout and would end a lucrative yearly contract. The risk of failure is great, and the reward is slight. That simple equation can keep companies honest. Corporations may not be people, but money sure does talk.
In the future, if you can't make a point without being demeaning, fuck you. I'll assume you're just another conspiracy theorist who uses a mallet to hammer in the puzzle pieces that don't fit your picture.
