(9,223 posts)37. He specifically accused her of stealing Pennsylvania
We need to look very closely there. PA has voting machines from the 80's.
Pennsylvania's aging voting machines could be 'nightmare scenario' in the event of a disputed election
But Andrew Appel, a Princeton professor of computer science, said that given a screwdriver and seven minutes with an electronic machine, he could install a vote-stealing program that would be hard to detect and shift a percentage of the votes.
In states like Pennsylvania, these voting machines are delivered to polling places several days before the election to elementary schools, churches and firehouses, he said. That creates the risk of tampering. This is not just one glitch in one manufacturers machine. Its the very nature of computers, he told a House subcommittee last month.
Feaser said state and local officials take precautions to ensure machines are kept secure and cant be tampered with.
But Appel nevertheless recommends that the nation eliminate the use of paperless touchscreen voting machines after this years election.
