Why would it be in large cities? Wouldn’t it make more sense to try this out in a bunch of rural areas where all the “hicks” live, rather than the city where officials are looking for problems? Out in rural areas like where i live, we’re all dumb hicks who won’t have the brains to double check what the machine does, or so they think, so the general idea is it will be easier to get away with it.
This is also not a new problem, in the 2014 election I saw a video on the news of a governor who couldn’t vote for himself, the machine kept changing his vote to his opponent. After about a half dozen times he finally managed to get it to work. Officials said it was a “calibration error”. He got it on video and it was on the news, either Fox or Newsmax.
Double check the machine if you use one, they have been doing this at least since the 2014 election. I double checked mine that time and this year during the primary, no problems.
The way ours work, you use a touch screen, and it puts a check mark in a box beside each candidates name you vote for. When you finish, it has a verification screen, where you can see a review of each candidate or issue you voted for, and a change to back up and change it before you verify. Once you verify, it’s over with, you can’t change it again.
Always double check the voting machine. If you see any discrepancy, STOP...go get an official and SHOW THEM exactly what the machine is doing. Definitely do it before you finalize your vote.
I don't see any purpose in rigging a machine to visually to visually tip you off that that is in fact happening.
I am not a programmer but it seems to me the theft would be in the code and you'd be none the wiser. It would seem like the code would just say something like . But again, I struggle with javascript so WTF do I know?
