A polling machine is nothing but a glorified adding machine. WHY does it need to be connected to the internet and have votes shipped somewhere besides the election headquarters?
All the way up to Y2K and the FLA kerfuffle- we knew who the winner was that night.
Now that the Dems got what they wanted in Y2K -it takes days or weeks to decide who won.
When are we going to start hearing about the bags of Democrat votes "found" in abandoned warehouses nobody's been to in years?
When are we going to be hearing about the votes "accidentally" left in rental cars returned yesterday?
Will Republicans act like anything other than the slightly more responsible side of the Uniparty?
My bet is -NO.
And I ended up having to buy a Ford, because the Z-71 Sierra had dashboard lighting problems.
I'll tell you why. Because no-one trusts anyone. The results should be send to several remote locations: 1) DNC headquarters, 2) RNC headquarters, 3) any and all of the HQ of any other party with candidates in the race, and finally, the library of congress. Then give all of the news networks access to the running totals via the RNC/DNC/?NCs, and within ±5 seconds, the running totals should all be identical. Also, the counting operations should all be livestreamed, that is, where any the paper ballots are tallied.
ReplyDeleteI expect a system could be set up for about $500k including write-only backups of all of the video and data.
