The complete and utter banana republic style cockup and dishonesty surrounding the US presidential election has made me look at how the US votes. What I saw appalled me. Coming from a country where votes are made on paper and counted by local authority staff who are under oath, as are journalists and others at an election count, to honestly count the votes, I was shocked to see that America votes using voting machines that have more security holes than a lump of Swiss cheese.
The video below put out by the computer security company Symantec boggled my mind. One of their investigators back in 2018 purchased a second hand voting machine and decided to see if there were any flaws in the security of these machines that could compromise an election. He found from what I could see at least a dozen.
Now it may be that the US beefed up the security of their voting machines between 2011 when this example machine was last used and the machines used at the most recent Presidential election, but it’s equally likely that similar machines with similar security holes may have been in use this year. What I saw on the video below does not give me any confidence in the security of electronic voting and maybe the Americans should revert to a paper based system that although is going to be cumbersome because of the massive population of the USA, might be more honest and more secure.
“Democracy” is a system that the Left exploit to gain power and subvert to hold onto it: The whole point is that they DON’T WANT a secure voting system, not in the US – not anywhere.
Rigging the election by harvesting postal votes, installing programmable machines, and manipulating the electorate via biassed reporting and censorship, is what it’s all about.
The world and his dog know that the whole point of a computer is to programme it to do what you want – using them as a form of high-tech abacus is about as sensible as appointing an alligator to be a life-guard.
@Phil Copson:- nicely put. There’s nothing I can add to that.
