Brains,

What is OBVIOUS is that you are ignorant of the FACT that NOBODY is going to give you/anyone access to the interior of any voting machine.
Therefore, you're just BLATHERING about things that you don't understand & making yourself LOOK SILLY.

There are "white hat" ethical hacking companies that can be hired for this sort of thing. Always good to get an expert second opinion on whether your security is as good as you think it is. They will employ social engineering and physical security exploits as part of their investigation.

Hackers won't attack the strongest part of the system, they look for vulnerabilities to exploit. When doing technical security you are ALWAYS looking for that weak link, or you're not doing your job.

Did you even look at the links provided by kar98?

Lunyfringe,

What some here don't "get" is that hacking these old/primitive counting machines are not computers & cannot be hacked any more than an old 9-key adding machine can be.

Brains, kar98 and myself were referring to ES&S iVotronic touch-screen machine.

Which is most definitely a computer.

Here's a short clip of satx running a secure, non-computer and thus unhackable voter count at his polling place:

 

[avvidclif]

Sat did you read post 253? Or any of you for that matter?

 

[mroper]

We use Eslate machines in fort bend county. If you look at the precinct breakdown of votes the eastern most precincts (some of them in houston city limits) voted 95 % blue . I am a bit skeptical of that

 

[oldguy]

I'm always amazed when extra votes are found they are normally Democrat, we will never see an honest election again until the system is changed.

 

[Brains]

Harris does too. The eSlates are just as vulnerable as the others, the platform was engineered with too much assumed trust and most jurisdictions don't even use the paper trail option for vote verification.

 

[Darqhelmet]

That did bug me big time, no paper trail tracking my votes no confirmation out of band.

I'm watching what's happening in Florida and it's pretty clear they are trying to insure that the Republican loses.

Ballot counts not finished days after law requires. More and more ballots being found. The election supervisor alone determining voter intent on early voting ballots.

Here's one for ya. If the voter can't clearly indicate their choice then their vote simply doesn't count.

There are third world countries that have more secure voting systems than we have in the US.

Voter ID should be mandatory. Voting by mail limited to those who can't physically show up at a voting location. Hell, get a bottle of ink and start dipping fingers. In fact I'd say we need to go as far as using the National Guard to secure voting locations and ballots....the key would be using the National Guard from a different state. Say Idaho NG in Florida and so on.

Heard about this on Ben Shapiro and thought it was interesting:

That’s the shorter (and prettier) version of what I put in post #131. Except it’s backwards.

Probably because that’s based on exit poll data, mine’s based on actual votes.

This little bit of data analysis appears to indicate that Californication is, in fact, a thing. It also appears that changes in the Texas political climate is being impacted by these migrants. While this isn't anywhere near strong enough of a case to show causation, what can be seen is positive correlation that where the refugees go, their politics follow them.

And with that my friends, I rest my case.

That strikes me as being just the opposite.

The graphic I posted suggests that those that are native to Texas voted more liberal. Those that are moving to Texas voted more conservative, at lease regarding the senate race.

Yeah. The graphic you posted was based on an exit poll.

Exit polls aren’t reliable.

ETA: In Texas, it’s impossible to get actual birth location data using actual election data.

I agree 100%. It's incredible how easy voter fraud can be committed in the US. Mail in ballots should be limited to military personnel ONLY. PERIOD.

Lunyfringe,

Inasmuch as the machines that Bexar County still uses were designed in the mid-1960s, PLEASE tell everyone what sort of computers were commonplace then.

Fyi, Lou Anne _________, MSEE, spoke to one of our judges training classes last year & stated that the old/tired machines were nothing more than, "------ more or less fancy adding machines. Don't expect these old relics to be any more than that."

Tell me, do you have PERSONAL EXPERTISE in operating/working on these "old relics"?? = I've dealt with them since 2011 & can usually keep them running.

yours, satx

What is the brand name of the machines you are using???

Who knows what sax will say, but I'll just leave this here for ya: Bexar County planning to replace old voting machines



Definitely 1960's... Definitely. Touchscreens were yuge back then.
