Someone may want to sample 10% of paper ballots and cross reference to the thumbdrive to check accuracy.

Weird how it's always Democrats "finding" votes. What do you figure the split is on that thumb drive? 70-30 Dem?

Well they're all Dems in this election, I would assume this lady is a Biden supporter. Those people cheat a lot.

Whenever someone says thumb drive I think of Seth Rich. Weird.

I remember way back in the old days when you wanted to rig an election you had to “find” boxes of uncounted ballots in the trunk of a car parked in the alley. Now thanks to modern technology you can just reach into your pocket and “find” a thumb drive full of uncounted ballots. Now that’s Progress!

Pretty sure, the recount is not digital, we have paper ballots here that will be ran through the counters. That county (and mine) use a system that prints a paper ballot and those are used for recounts.

I agree. I know how elections are run in Texas, and votes aren't tallied or submitted on thumb drives. I'm calling BS on this report.

What's disturbing is there is no quality control in place to ensure the drives are not accounted for on election night. Some type of documentation that 10 drives should come from a precinct, and when 9 arrive, they can do more than just say "guess we got them all". I realize with the dems, this is what gives them the opportunity to manipulate votes and vote counts but this is a serious flaw in election security

Confirmed, the requested recount is not digital. Thank God for Paper ballots. Texas has only used the paper ballot machines for a couple of elections.

Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole submitted a petition Friday in a state district court asking to reopen the county’s central counting station for a recount and re-tabulation of paper ballots from the 44 machines.

The thumb drive didn't lose itself.

Reminder that if you vote using any kind of software and votes are transported in fucking thumb drives it is not a legitimate election and is fully prepped for rigging, miscounts, and manipulations.

The most secure voting we know exists consists of paper ballots stored in boxes monitored by all interested parties at all times. Boxes do not contain malware that can flip votes or wipe entire collections of them.

Ask any security or cryptography expert. The chain of trust for software voting and transportation via storage media or god forbid the Internet is nonexistent.
