(7,619 posts)You said its possible to program the machines to avoid detection of the malicious codes. You said they could only have the theft occur after 1,000 ballots. I said many machines don't have 1,000 ballots to count. Also, there are multiple tests and the programming you are talking about takes place in front of many people. There is also testing after the elections. In most cases there are paper ballots either to begin with or created by the voting machine. The malicious hacker would have no way to know for sure that the election would not turn out close from votes in other jurisdictions, which would lead to a recount where the paper might be looked at, which would lead to the hackers going to prison. And you seem to ignore the fact that very few people have access to the machines. Also, they can detect if an unauthorized entry was made.
I'm not opposed to you and the others doing all you can to protect the integrity of the process. I'm just opposing this hoax from Spoonamore. I'm fine as long as you don't circlulate false claims. I very much want us to keep the Trumpsters on the hot seat for their lies about 2020 being stolen. If our side does it too they'll have an excuse, and once they can show we tell the same lies they'll be free to lie endlessly in elections to come.
