LA county's new $300-Million$ voting machines have over 40 violations

[mysteryowl]

The new voting machines for LA county California, population 10 million, are electronic touch screen. The machines to be used for the March 3rd primaries have yet to be certified and have over 40 state voting violations. Lawsuits are being looked into. The real question is, how to have fair primary elections? Paper ballots need to created is the only answer, but will they?

Certification testing has uncovered:

*Dozens of critical user interface and security problems, according to recent published reports and conversations with experts.
*The Secretary of State found vulnerabilities that left the door open to bad actors changing voting data and, ultimately, the outcome of an election.
* Testers could also access and alter electronic records and get into physical ballot boxes — all without detection.

Some candidates for local offices are so disturbed by how ballots appear on the machines that cities like Beverly Hills are exploring lawsuits.

1. They better figure this out because the crazy fucks in this state are trying to recall the governor.

2. Gee, who would want to be able to rig a California election system?

Paper ballots can be verified by people.
Electronic voting cannot be verified.

3. I guess each machine has a USB port as well.

Hmmm... what might one do with a USB port on a voting machine? I think there are endless options.
