I’m not a programmer, but I can easily see how a re-write of code could throw elections. Example:
1) Sum up all “R” votes, multiply this value by 0.9
2) Round up to next whole number
3) Report this as total “R” votes
4) Sum up all “D” votes, multiply this by 1.111111
5) Round down to next whole number
6) Report this as total “D” votes
7) Self-Delete this code and revert back to original code
The last step is in case the machine is audited.
It’s nice to FINALLY see this wide-open gap in our voting system starting to be addressed - it was STUPID to ever buy these machines.
Remind me of how a programmer fixed lottery games:
