In reply to the discussion: Risk limiting audit results from PRIMARY in Pennsylvania - one batch showed half of the votes had not been counted [View all]questionseverything
(10,473 posts)90. I couldn't find anywhere it said the software was seen
It said it was voluntary
And that vendors could get their own labs approved?
Of course since republicans broke into coffee county and copied that software and distributed it all over… and Georgia didn’t apply the patch before the election…
So honestly I don’t know what it all means but I know burying my head and trusting oligarchs is not what democracy deserves

This is very disturbing and even a 4 vote difference is huge with this small # votes -- especially

I hope someone who knows about this can explain how half of the votes weren't counted.

Who is fighting against recounts? There is no real effort to do them, outside of the fringes of the internet.

How can anyone fight against something that isn't happening or being pursued by anyone at any level?

I don't think folks explaining that it is not going to happen and why is "fighting"

I'm not in favor of incessant demands that someone else spends tens of millions of dollars on recounts

Apparently you didn't read my post above. The paper ballot is really a paper receipt

Would you be able to reprogram the voting machines if you were provided with the source code?

You need to provide a link to prove any "certifying agency" sees the code

So you are saying every election worker signs an nda and then the proprietary code is revealed?

What you said earlier was you weren't even at the level to enter candidates names

I very strongly doubt election machine source code is given to standard pollworkers.
Think. Again.

And that's exactly why I doubt they let pollworkers have the source code.
Think. Again.
