The machines are machines - the settings are the issue.
That is a misleading LIE. The hardware / machine had ILLEGAL Wifi hardware built into it. The hardware has many BUILT-IN access points it was done with a clear intention to CHEAT. The hardware was DESIGNED to Be EXTERNALLY Hacked. The "settings" could have been burned into a tamper-proof ROM chip. Instead they used an ".ini" file. Laughable and obvious to anyone who understands computer hardware. By DESIGN, it's a Cheating Machine.
Those features should not even be in the software. Then again, all sorts of security vulnerabilities should not be in the software either.
But you’re right that this is primary a people problem. Even with just boxes and paper ballots, box stuffing can still occur as can ballot destruction etc. The whole system is full of vulnerabilities and ultimately any locality can commit fraud. And if you can’t get the SoS to eliminate vulnerabilities or the governor to get the state police to do anything then it’s pointless.
I wonder what Gene Sharp wrote about this? Basically take that Time magazine article stuff and you need to have a populist version of that whole scheme that was set up by elites. But that article isn’t telling the whole story of everything that was done, such as intentionally introducing vulnerabilities at the political level.
It's not just the settings, the software is also hugely vulnerable. The Antrim machines that Ramsland examined were running Windows Server with antivirus definitions 18 months out of date and Windows Updates similarly out of date. The Dominion software itself also has many unpatched vulnerabilities.
None of the machines involved in this process should be connected to the internet - transferring data for live updates via USB stick is one thing, but the definitive numbers used by the states should be collected by state officials in person. As this election showed, you can have as many paper trails as you want but if no one is allowed to look at them, you can fuck with the numbers digitally as much as you want.

80% error rate was the key - then into the "sort by hand" bucket - then into the D column.
Fractional voting enabled is also a problem... but again, settings.
Who controls the settings controls the election.

I think the machine counting a single vote as a proportion instead of a single vote cannot stand.
