      That would make sense, if it wasn’t because he is likely to drop dead any time now. Motherfucker looks like he already died but nobody is willing to tell him.

    It’s totally fine though. Since no one in America has the balls to do anything about it- it’s legal.

        They’re the elephant that was tied to a stake as a baby

        They have accepted their fate and are resigned to being fucked over

        So they hate the people around them, rather than the cunts who put in the stake

    Independent testing of voting machines and open sourcing the vulnerabilities in order to get them patched, is a good idea.

    Unfortunately, we all know what the Trump Regime actually intends to do: Keep the vulnerabilities in their pocket, and use them to secure “victories”.

        Yeah i agree. It’s a search for a half-truth they can base an argument on, but classify enough info around it to make it difficult to challenge or investigate.

    Pen-testing is part of good security…

    …but let’s be real, anyone who believes Trump won’t exploit this rather than patch it is delusional.

    This is an inherent flaw of digital voting nachines. One has to trust their integrity which only can be confirmed by a few specialist. By design, that is a lot simpler to undermine than a system that relies on a huge number of people where almost anyone who wants to is capable of taking part in securing the integrity of the vote.

    No self respecting democracy should use them.

      And, as a bonus, the old school method has a tremendously low error rate.

      I remember an article in a renowned computer mag about 20 years ago measuring error rates. The newest and greatest voting machine, at the time, still had way worse error rates than hand counting. Never mind everything that was around before. Maybe the most modern systems can achieve the same error rates as hand counting, dunno, haven’t been keeping up.

      I was absolutely floored with how bad the error rates of lever operated mechanical machines used to be. How anyone accepted those anywhere near a democracy was beyond me.

      Hey its 2026! just ask AI who should win based on popular vibe, and be done with.

      We call it vibe voting

    Can’t wait for stories like this to suddenly just disappear in November when Republicans somehow - miraculously! - barely squeek out enough wins in key races at the very las second.

      Lol… With this administration? They’ll probably just report that they recieved 10x whatever the other party gets and brag about how big America must be to get more votes than citizens.

          ?? Which lines are you implying? It’s blaringly obvious what the goal is, I was merely remarking at the incompetence of the current administration and likelihood of them doing it very badly.

      And somehow, the polls will all be wrong and we’ll all scratch our heads how that happened.

      Must be because Republicans don’t answer pollsters! 🙃

    The good thing is if these idiots do jack the machines to rig the results, they won’t do it subtly. It’ll be like a 99% landslide

      I think it’s more about a ,see the machines were unsecure, so we’re ignoring the election outcome" plan.

        They’ll do both and just leave the mental gymnastics to their base.

        Like Jan 6 all being Antifa, but we’ve pardoned them all because they’re patriots.

        Or the 2016 and 2024 elections were rigged even though they won.

    Don’t they have voting machines every year at DEFCON?

    I feel like this is already been litigated.
