This has absolutely nothing to do with the system being digital. Adjudication could happen the same with paper ballots. The common flaw is that you're trusting the human doing the adjudication.

Agreed, but even worse: there's no audit trail for the user/operator who did the adjudication.

If I can blanket adjudicate 10,000 votes to Biden out of thin fucking air, and the system won't even recognize who I am? I'm bound to do it. But if it attaches my full name, log-in credentials, date/time of adjudication, etc... to each and every ballot I adjudicate (along with taking a corresponding image of every single adjudicated ballot?) THAT might stop me.

Especially if the Admins could call up a "Number of adjudications by user ID" report and see where the fuckery happened all at once.

I still agree we should go back to paper ballots, double witnesses, etc... But the very fact there's THIS much technology and it's not associating the adjudication with a name or user ID# to keep things honest is... well... totally fucking dishonest.

Of course this would embolden a insider threat. Cybersecuity 101. A Wandrea Moss can go in adjudicate 138000 ballots and flip them all for Biden.

Then the answer is simple: adjudication must be approved by 2 of 3 vote counters.

Or

No adjudication. If your vote is illegible, your ballot is tossed.

Honestly, I prefer the illegible route, but that is fatally flawed, what prevents these commies from double marking every Trump supporter ballot and then invalidating them all in that prices.

So triple approvals, and adjudication must be Livestream to the public and they can't raise red flags

Yes and full.audit logs and saved image showing what changed were made as well as a justification.

Indeed. For me, the use of complex and many-featured voting machines are capable of meeting our public needs, but that is IF all of the machines are properly vetted and do not have major problems like what was shown in the video.

The adjudication ABSOLUTELY needs to have a proper audit trail to guarantee that the job is done right. It is astounding that there is no owner tagged to that.

The box for overvotes is incredibly sketchy if you are allowed to hide it as the supervisor. you are creating a record that is no longer 1-1 between the paper and the actual ballot.

The fact that the supervisor has this much power over the votes shows that watching is absolutely critical at adjudication.

That's why observers were at least 30m away.
