(6,229 posts)by someone with expertise examining the evms before and after elections. Is that done? Not where I vote. The Iranians saw no evidence of stuxnet UNTIL it was too late. And that was an attack! There are some other digital "plants" that are on millions of computers and the users don't know it. Some are "planted" simply to watch and don't draw any attention. Clearly, the Iranian techies saw no EVIDENCE of stuxnet, but that didn't prevent stuxnet from doing what it was designed to do.
Anomalies may not be evidence, per se, but they should be raising red flags to any reasonable person.
I called out our County Clerk in a meeting after we started using evms. "What do you do for a recount?" "We make sure the number of people who signed in to vote matches the number of ballots cast on the machine." "How do you verify that the person's vote registered for the candidate they intended to vote for?" "We can't." Paper ballots don't have that problem.
Finally, there is ample evidence that the g.o.p. was involved in purging voter rolls in Florida in 2000 that was targeted toward Democratic voters. Thousands of legit voters were denied the right to cast their ballot. They have proven themselves more than willing to cheat in elections. Anyone who can't see this, is either not looking, naive or a g.o.p. plant trying to get people to look at something else.
