I Bought Used Voting Machines on eBay for $100 Apiece.
I reverse-engineered the machines to understand how they could be manipulated. After removing the internal hard drive, I was able to access the file structure and operating system. Since the machines were not wiped after they were used in the 2012 presidential election, I got a great deal of insight into how the machines store the votes that were cast on them. Within hours, I was able to change the candidates’ names to be that of anyone I wanted. When the machine printed out the official record for the votes that were cast, it showed that the candidate’s name I invented had received the most votes on that particular machine.
This year, I bought two more machines to see if security had improved. To my dismay, I discovered that the newer model machines—those that were used in the 2016 election—are running Windows CE and have USB ports, along with other components, that make them even easier to exploit than the older ones. Our voting machines, billed as “next generation,” and still in use today, are worse than they were before—dispersed, disorganized, and susceptible to manipulation.
Paper ballots marked by an ‘x’, only way. No internet, no voting machines. The ability to hack them will always exceed the ability to protect.
Lyndon Johnson was a master at manipulating paper ballots. Oh he was a Democrat.
“Our voting machines, billed as “next generation,” and still in use today, are worse than they were before—dispersed, disorganized, and susceptible to manipulation.”
I guess Democrats were finding the old ones too difficult to hack into.
Reminds me of the old adage “my father voted Republican all his life. He only started voting Democrat after he died.”
The DNC has … repurposed … its tech staff from Twitter and Fackebook spamming to … voter FRAUD.
One man, one vote. Soon … we will be counting purple thumbs.
Ontario municipal elections last week had option of using internet and telephone voting. System crashed. Municipalities who used this system had elections messed up.
That’s okay, here in Calgary, we had a municipal election last fall. Numerous polling stations ran out of ballots, the polls closed before those already in line had a chance to vote and the ballots took hours longer to tally with newly acquired electronic tabulation. And the results were highly favourable to the incumbents, as in, all incumbents were re-elected. And now we’ve got an Olympic Games bid plebiscite coming up in a couple of weeks. I’m sure we can rely on the results as being credible.
It seems that back in 2012, there were many, many voting precincts in Cincinnati that voted solid Democrat! NOT EVEN ONE Republican vote.
In my experience scrutineering with paper ballots, that cannot happen. The voters are not that sophisticated – one or more of the voters will enevitably screw up or there will be an outlier in the midst. The only way to have have a solid block of votes is to manipulate the count. I wonder who owns the voting machines? The name George Soros comes to mind…
“To my dismay, I discovered that the newer model machines—those that were used in the 2016 election—are running Windows CE and have USB ports, along with other components, that make them even easier to exploit than the older ones.”
The older ones were still too hard to get into and steal the election. So the new ones have been made easier, on purpose. This election is too important.

It’s never who votes. It’s who counts the votes. Or takes the ballots from the precinct to the registrars office. Many a slip tween the cup and the lip.
I am a chief election judge in the US. I do my job correctly, but after I turn in the disc with the results, the printed tape with the results I have no idea what happens after that. I also do not know the other 50% of the vote is counted: the absentee ballots and I work in a reddish state.
Watch Project Veritas’ videos where people walk in voting precincts in blue cities and are allowed to vote even after telling the judges they don’t even live anywhere near their city.
There is voting fraud galore in the US and it is 99% done by Democrats. In 30 years when we have 45 million more illegal immigrants it’s game over as 90% of the country will look just like California does today: the highest poverty levels and the worst wealth disparity in the US.
It was a good country once.
John – You won’t have poverty. The left defines poverty as the lowest 10%. Since 99% of the population will have the same income, the left will say there is no poverty.
Now the remaining 1% will be the party leaders and their families. They will live in their dachas and live high on the hog. You will not be allowed to mention them, nor will you risk talking about them due to the number of informants in society.
this has been going on since the days of bushcheny:

from the link:
“Two of the corporations that provide nearly all of the voting machines in the United States—ES&S and Diebold—are controlled by Republicans with strong ties to the Bush administration. One company is also linked to a far-right fundamentalist Christian movement.
In a recent mailing to Republican donors, Walden O’Dell, CEO of Diebold Inc., one of three companies certified to sell electronic voting equipment to the state of Ohio, stated his commitment “to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year.”
All of the $195,000 Diebold has given in political contributions since 2000 went to the Republican Party or Republican candidates, as has all of the over $240,000 that the company’s directors and chief officers have donated, according to OpenSecrets.org.
aka “follow the money” and “they ALL do it”.
the much touted ‘online voting’ will END any semblance of democrapcy wherever it is implemented.
my decades long observations regarding new technology, is that oftentimes the ones implementing it and ‘rolling it out’ to all the fanfare dont know SQUAT about the immediate and esp long term consequences of jumping on THAT bandwagon.
aka “we have an idiot for a boss”.
