Jill Steins bid to recount votes in Pennsylvania was in trouble even before a federal judge shot it down Dec. 12. Thats because the Green Party candidates effort stood almost no chance of detecting potential fraud or error in the vote there was basically nothing to recount.
Pennsylvania is one of 11 states where the majority of voters use antiquated machines that store votes electronically, without printed ballots or other paper-based backups that could be used to double-check the balloting. Theres almost no way to know if theyve accurately recorded individual votes or if anyone tampered with the count. [ ]
These paperless digital voting machines, used by roughly 1 in 5 U.S. voters last month, present one of the most glaring dangers to the security of the rickety, underfunded U.S. election system. Like many electronic voting machines, they are vulnerable to hacking. But other machines typically leave a paper trail that could be manually checked. The paperless digital machines open the door to potential election rigging that might not ever be detected.

No. Susceptible to Democrat run precinct cheating. But computer hacking from without - likely not. Don’t believe these people.
Go back to the mechanical voting machines with the little cranks.
I agree 100% we make the system completely cheat free. Is AP in favor of that?
You notice that as soon as they found cheating, they shut down the recount.
If they care about cheating, they’ll require a picture ID at the polls. And go back to mechanical vote counting machines.
AP is a cooperative owned by the newspapers that pick up AP’s coverage.
We know who they are...
Let’s deal with the largest issues having an impact on the elections:
issues:
1. Illegals voting
2. Multiple voting
3. Fraud voting by officials
4. Mail elections
5. ID voters fraud
99. Internet
...And gave Hillary Clinton a 2.9 million popular vote lead to show that they have a sense of humor.
Sounds plausible to me.
It’s cute that the AP thinks PA Democrats want to fix those “faults.” To the Dems those are features not bugs.
Any machine is vulnerable to hacking. But PA has a very elaborate and redundant security and audit process that would detect any kind of widespread hack. So this article is B.S. meant to sow doubt on Trump’s win in PA.
Meanwhile,DHS hacks Georgia’s system and nobody cares. This in the aftermath of Jeh Johnson saying that the elections need to be federalized
Honest elections are susceptible when Democrats are around. They cheated and still lost, but like all sore losers they have to point the finger of blame elsewhere rather than on themselves.
The news reports "hacking" when what was found was plain old garden variety cheating.
The left always manipulates language to mislead the public.
US elections are still vulnerable to hacking ... which unfortunately is only a small part of the problem!
In PA the cheating comes from dead people voting, not from rigging the machines.
Occam’s Razor.
Photo ID’s.
AP is setting the table here. Last Thursdsy Stine submitted a request to Lynch to conduct a full investigation of the Election. The GOP did nothing when it was pretty obvious there was a LOT of cheating in 2012. Flash forward to late Dec 2016 an the Rats still haven’t given up.
Over 4,000 Chips only Illegals and multiple votes can you cheat
“Hacking” is not the problem. The problem is early voting, absentee and “provisional” ballots and the president telling illegal aliens and foreigners to go ahead and vote because nobody cares. Dead and “vote ‘til you drop” voters don’t help either.
Precinct? How about a whole state [California] that panders to illegal aliens voting in federal elections while our President makes statements like "if you vote you are a citizen." [he must have taken the Clinton school of grifterism graduate course on sentence parsing].
Or the state of Texas where vote fraud has been developed into an art form.
