Dear pedes, I have been listening to pedes criticizing the use of closed source counting machines (TD.win, VIP) as well as the poll watcher from Delaware, PA mentioning huge distrust in USB sticks, the counting machines. Excuse me for focusing on just one suggestion posted by TD.win users, but do you think that making those machines more transparent would fix the voter fraud issue? I agree that adding transparency to those layers would improve the tracing of said issue. Though I have grown my vision of those voting machines that I would like to share:

  1. voting machines are a deep-state technocracy that is easily rampant
  2. giving Senators and county representatives the burden to learn software programming as means of verification???
  3. exploitability of software/hardware in ways not humanly reiterable

I want to make one point very clear: the society is growing at large and we must have hardware as vote-counting support in combination with paper ballots if all hell breaks loose!

NO. Paper ballots with a signature. No scanners, no software. Counted by hand with bipartisan monitors.

Lo-tech is the only way to go...

Yeah, especially since I design and build software systems for a living... that is why I know software CANNOT be used for voting.
