Yeah, it's really hard with computers to ID who is logged onto a system. I've worked as a developer, development manager and programme manager for years and I've never been able to get a log entry like that...
Joking aside, it's on purpose, no developer would not log that information unless they were told not to, even if only for helping diagnose bugs with a particular user.
Exactly. That is basic compliance type stuff for audits any private sector company and contractor would be required to keep for a number of years.
Wouldn't it be nice to know if a ballot was scanned in at a particular location, in a particular machine, once or more than once, by whom, then rammed through tabulation process?
Depends though, if some generic credentials were used (can easily see that happening in the big city counties) you'd have no idea who was actually at the station.
Not to mention that, at least in this video, the PC is clearly connected to the internet, so who knows if some foreign actor could be fucking with the ballot count under the guise of someone else's account.
Yeah, she can't believe the system she's been told to use. So many routes to fraud in it, without highly detailed logging and audit, it's insane.
"does this batch tell you who made changes?"
No, only that a change was made 😳

But you can't even tell which ballot was adjudicated in a batch. Most batches are 50 ballots.
