Sad part is this is not new report—we’ve seen similar reports from electronic machines over the past 20 years. There is absolutely no way to recheck or correct. And how do you prove your vote was miss-tallied? I used to work elections in the northern Virginia in the late 80s and 90s. Machines are bad, have always been. We need to go back to paper ballots.
The report didn’t say what kind of ballots were in use, but if this was a scanning machine with ‘bubbles’ to fill in on a paper ballot (like a standardized test), then there would be obvious ways to fix this:
1. Detect the problem - a substantial undervote with voters signing in, but many supposedly not voting.
2. Fix it - by hand-counting the bubbled-in sheets.
Even if #2 isn’t possible, #1 and the actual tally should show a serious discrepancy.
