These machines should not be networked at all. And all the complex system architecture diagrams I've been seeing floating around (including in the DVS manuals) are total BS for such a simple problem set as counting votes.
Paper ballots, simple adding machines. A chief at each precinct reports their numbers up the chain. Can we get back to KISS please?
2 chiefs, one from each party with equal power who have to agree to transmit or they cannot transmit and if they don’t agree all ballots are immediately locked down with a lock/key from each person until an audit team can confirm the ballots at that location. The ballots are never moved from their location until they are confirmed by both parties representatives.
We need to have more safeguards and protections regardless of which side you are on.
