I'm surprised at how little discussion there is questioning the results.

106. nope

The federal government is still running software from 30 to 40 years ago.

The state and local governments are even worse. You would be surprised at the crap they use at the IRS, the FAA, the EPA, etc.

Some TLAs have modern stull, these are mostly the national security people and the DOE, NASA, etc. Maybe the FBI. None of which are involved in looking after elections except for the some intelligence operations.

That said, if the hacks were sophisticated enough... no investigation other than to hold a second election, would uncover them.

My solution, paper ballots, hand counted 3 times, summary reported publicly at every voting location and every time the votes are tabulated and summaries transmitted. I would be willing to trade that for a voter ID law. But if there is a voter ID law, I also want no voter registration expunged or rule change for 30 days before a national election. And no vote will be provisional by challenge. I love mail in ballots, but I would give up that for in person voting with voted ID and paper ballots and hand counted... if voting day is a national paid holiday... in fact we should have a voting week ( in person, ID, etc ) with at least 1 day of paid holiday. Last, I don't want endless media speculation on vote totals. I want the results to be unsealed nation wide like a week after the vote. Anyone spilling the beans before that is charged with a crime. I don't need to know the results on the last day of voting. Fuck the media. They can do polling all they want. No computers at any step of the process. Maybe we lose every time, maybe we win every time. But at least we will know exactly who voted and the vote totals are accurate.
