LBJ supposedly stuffed many ballot boxes with paper ballots. I think electronic safeguards are possible with CDC’s, dedicated lines, encryption, etc.
Perhaps people could take the status of their voting system on a memory stick. Then there would be millions of electronic checkpoints. If data was tampered with, the evidence would be abundant.
Or even get a printout that would reveal their vote, the total number of votes and the time. Then, if suddenly a thousand votes instantly appeared on their machine, somebody would be in deep trouble. At the very least, the thousand instantaneous votes could be eliminated.
Maybe poll checkers could upload data periodically on their memory stick. Not so much the actual voting percentages that could then be published with the effect of changing subsequent votes. Or that number could be encrypted.
They who program the voting machines, choose the winner.
I know it seems like the last election was rigged. But computer code can be reviewed and tested.
They ought to have a system where the voting data is immediately recorded in several places. The Democrats and Republicans should each have their own computer to hold the raw data instantly as it comes in just like the telemetry from space vehicles.
There are a lot of bugs in the law too! I’ve had the unfortunate experience to run into many. Everybody’s in la-la land about legal bugs.
BTW – 23% approve of what Busch is doing, because it helps them sleep at night (hic)
I wonder whether it can be best described as denial, self delusion, the hypnotic effects of good propaganda or what.
