OldBrownsFan Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I think we were better off with the punch ballots. We made it more difficult than it should be by looking at punch cards and trying to figure out voter intent if there was even a little indentation. The criteria just should have been if it was punched through at all. Simple but we complicate things and now maybe the hackers in China will determine our next president? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/14/hack-vote-cyber-experts-say-ballot-machines-easy-targets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 only a matter of time before they're hacked, goes without saying. Utterly ridiculous to computerize our voting system in this environment where shit's getting hacked hard every other day. Security software amounts to "fun" for these hackers, gives them something to do for a minute or two until they get what they came for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadbrownsfan Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 "Mississippi and Pennsylvania decertified the machines years ago, because they used an outdated version of Windows that had not been updated since 2004 and had default passwords that could allow for wifi access, Thomas noted." Not really hard for a hacker when your machine\os has not been updated since 2004..... If you want electronic voting machines with online capabilities you need to have the proper security, and it has to be updated regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westside Steve Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 oh shit, how long after they invented the padlock did somebody figure out how to pick it? It never ends. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it is a never ending game of cat and mouse. Start with running software that isn't a decade old, lol. Online voting would have a major, major impact on elections. I would guess it would favor one party over another as well... If it could be done securely, I would be all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early results are easy to manipulate by activists who are on the public dole and don't work. That's a lot of dem votes. That's surely the underlying motive of the dems rabid push for early voting. False influence is good influence with the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Yes I would be for it either way. I think it makes a lot of sense. I would imagine, based on polls and demos, it would benefit the Dems more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well, you aren't a computer programmer. To me, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Some of the most secure computer systems in the world have been hacked.... I don't like the early voting results in elections - they are meant to sway people to give up, or to think that the other guy is going to win huge, when all it is, is the freeloading/non-working surge of liberal dems hitting the voting early enough to twerk the results for a bit, to the dem side. Every US CITIZEN should get to vote JUST ONCE, then we find out what the results are. Anything else is subterfuge. That includes way too early posting of early voting, voting more than once, illegals/non-citizens/inmates voting, ... We've already had computer voting machines fail to register correctly, and, btw, it was an auto-vote regardless of the actual vote cast...that really hits the fraud meter.
