I think they thought that CNN will wither and die soon so they saw the potential to "broaden" their viewership when that happens.

No REEEEE,s for trump = CNN bankrupt within 3 months.

Autist reporting in !

Just sifted through the source repo and it doesn,t seem like you could utilize this iteration of code to shift or delete votes.

The ones that peaked my interest was..

org.jseats.model.Tally

org.jseats.model.TallyFilter

Those are used throughout the code.

https://github.com/pau-minoves/jseats/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jseats/model/Tally.java

https://github.com/pau-minoves/jseats/blob/master/src/main/java/org/jseats/model/TallyFilter.java

However there is room for adjustments by stuffing ballots by editing the total number of votes upwards before rerunning Tally.

Anyways after i did not find a smoking gun i tried to look at the other branches of code. And it seems like all the branch edits are GONE.....

So i looked att what features they were working towards. Because the branches are nuked.

I think i found exactly what is needed to add that capability.. https://github.com/pau-minoves/jseats/issues/17

-..- Objects like Tally, Candidate and Result should support:

clone append add substract etc where applicable. -..-

In conclusion i don,t really know if this is what,s used or if this is legit source.

But IF it really is some starting point, for the software used. Then i believe it went like this.

  1. Stuff ballots and adjust total vote count accordingly (count every ballot).

  2. Ohh shit !!! not enough pre-made ballots to get result (update firmware on those that are lacking features).

  3. Subtract Tally from Candidate,s result.

  4. Ohh shit !!! not enough to shift vote. we need BIG numbers !

  5. Increase total votes to get room for more ballots (we dont have any more fake ballots).

  6. Clone & append Tally (To Candidate) & delete same amount from other candidate.

Take this with a grain of salt as my main area of expertise is not java. But an algoritms in any programming language follows the same logic structures.
