DUH! Maybe you have lived in a cave, alone for the past five years, but OF COURSE this is a huge problem!
In other breaking news, water is wet!
Gee, whoda thunk?
The audit must not have gone very well because they advise that the state discontinue the use of the Dominion machines and move immediately to hand-marked paper ballots. They are also recommending a much broader series of mandatory audits of the results after the initial count is concluded.
But yeah, they need to get off their butts!
Unless Georgia wants to see a repeat of 2020, I believe they would be wise to take the panel’s advice and go to paper ballots. Any sort of touchscreen system that doesn’t involve a paper ballot filled out by the voter is bound to be suspect at this point, particularly when most voters are likely aware of how often government computer systems are hacked all around the globe. The current Dominion system takes the voter’s input from the touchscreen and prints out a ballot, but it uses a QR code that is unreadable by the voter to register the tally.
… Georgia could do the very same thing with very little muss or fuss if the board acts promptly. At this point, it doesn’t really matter if the Dominion machines are 100% accurate and immune from tampering (doubtful) or if they are rife with errors and potential exposures to hacking. People have seen too many stories surrounding Dominion at this point. These elections coming up in November are expected to be extremely close in many cases. Do you think everyone is simply going to be satisfied with computer-generated results and just go home and forget about it? Hand-marked paper ballots can be produced and counted as many times as they need to be. Georgia’s elections, no matter how close they may be, could stand up to any level of scrutiny if they do this. And they should, as quickly as possible. [emphasis added]
Just you watch. Democrats are ALL for computerized voting. Why?
Well, the real reason is that it allows for easy voter fraud, but Democrats can’t admit to THAT. So you will get several forms of, “There is no problem, you conspiracist wacko!“
<sigh>
I think voters in all counties should demand a paper ballot! This is just NUTS!
