(10,047 posts)you should know that the "testing" they do on the machines accomplishes nothing. referring to the testing on the machines is first grade stuff. those of us who have been studying this went past it decades ago. the Harri Hursti Hack, which you vaguely reference in your OP shows that the "testing" does nothing.
at the very least, it's very simple. remember how Volkswagon programmed their emissions module to act differently when it's being tested and they got away with it for years? well, the same thing for ballot tabulators.
think of it this way, (using the memory cards which are reprogrammed every election cycle in an unsecured location) program the counters to count correctly for the first 1,000 votes, then start doing the funny business. that would get around all the pre election testing, in one line of code.
this is more complicated than you believe or know. don't dismiss it out of hand and call things a hoax unless you know what you're talking about.
if you're not aware of the memory card vulnerability, you have no position to be calling Spoonamore a hoax
it's fine to *question* him and his theories. but don't attack him and call him a hoax and tell others to call it a hoax unless you have real solid information and a background and understanding of the subject matter. you clearly don't.
I'm sure you mean well.
take care
