The machine reads filled in bubbles. Not all people fill them in, Some make an X or a check mark. So there is a setting for how much of the bubble is filled in to count, otherwise it gets sent to manual adjudication. Problem is that you can set the level really high so that many or most ballots get sent to manual adjudication and someone can use a touch screen and make the ballot count the way they want. This is not a "hack" it is a "built in feature" than can be easily manipulated by basically anyone with access.

The scanner is reading a filled in bubble. Sometimes people make an X or check mark on the bubble, so the software has to deal with that. There is a setting for "how much" of the bubble needs to be filled in to count. If it is below the setting it gets to manual adjudication. Problem is that you can set the threshold really high so that many or most ballots go to manual adjudication. You don;t have to "hack" the damn thing, just change a setting.

I think that is the flaw in the narrative. The one vote per delegation is the procedure for a contingency election, meaning no one got a majority. The scenario that OP is describing is not a contested election. I think the debate of contested electors falls normal voting rules.

I see the same thing since the SSO thing for TD was turned on the other day. At least in my case it was not because TD is being blocked, because I know what the block page looks like. It is because of how the SSO is set up.

Yep. Same asshole that called for Trump's lawyers to be disbarred.

If some number are not appointed then they would not be included in the total. Seems like any way based on the simple language AKA common sense.

It is not 270 electors,it is the simple majority of electors appointed. Think that is in the 12A. So that would still likely work out, but the reasoning is a bit different

Margot is a genius. Writes for the Federalist all the time. One of the few "media" types I actually trust.

I appreciate his work ... but. I have briefed some pretty darned senior people. He should have never stated that he supported one side or the other, just that he is analyzing the data. But the presentation was horrible. He never put it in terms that regular people could understand. He said "there is a 98% correlation" but never said "this means..."

He never explained "so what"

Does he say that he heard it or does he play a recording? Not a doomer, just trying to understand what is solid evidence

The section on the RCV algorithm is interesting. Seems to be the only explanation for fractional votes.

Yeah, the Secretary of Defense does not command the military. That is the job of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. SECDEF is in the administrative chain of command, but not the operational chain of command.

The machines have the ability to do rank choice voting, but most places in the US don't use it. Supposedly the RCV algorithm uses fractional votes. I am thinking RCV was enabled and then some kind of unseen switch set Biden as #3. So he always gets #3 and either #1 or #2. Which results in fractional votes.
