Reply #12: The "BBV" issues take a few days to appear [View All]

Another misconception, fed by voting company press releases:

"The election went smoothly."

Problems are caught during the auditing phases (such as we have, now that they don't let us compare paper against machine). You see them when reports filter in about statistical anomalies, or a different number of votes than voters, or oddball last-minute changes in the vote. Absentee votes are another area ripe for abuse. I always cringe when I see people say "I'll just vote absentee."

Remember, absentee votes are counted by optical scan machines, and those use the hackable GEMS (or something similar).

We ain't outta the woods, not by a long shot.
