The Democratic primary for a Georgia county has been called into question after a hand count revealed the voting machines were off by thousands of ballots. (snip) The secretary of state's office admitted late last month to making several programing mistakes in the ballot equipment that affected the final tally. (snip) On Wednesday evening, the results of the hand count were released, showing former last-place candidate Spears now in first place and headed to a June 21 runoff against Alexander. Former first place candidate Orson was pushed to third place.

Dimokkkraps are always threatening our democracy with their crazy claims about election integrity! It was the most accurate election in the history of the Universe!! They should be prosecuted for trying to overthrow the gummint. His letter trespassed on the secretary of state’s office building.
Guards!! Seize them!!

Boy using those voting machines to cheat when Trump was on the ballot was sure fun and games. But now that a white fascist is the city of voter fraud, all Hades is breaking loose.

Voting machines are about as easy a machine and code to build as exists. Punch cards did it.
For there to be this kind of error is obvious fraud.

Does Pennsylvania have its cheating errr votes tallied up yet? The election was a month ago. There’s just no excuse for taking this long.

It's actually a miracle that they allowed the hand count. Maybe there is hope.

I have never trusted voting machines, but the older mechanical kind were more difficult to defraud. The modern computerized kind are a dream for fraudsters. You can program them to do LITERALLY anything you want.
End the voting machnes. ONLY in-person paper ballots should be permitted and then counted by hand, by teams with one person from each party on each counting team.

Get rid of Dominion.
In-person, paper ballots only, hand counted by pairs of election officials, one from each party.

What in Hades is the Secretary of State’s office doing programming ballot machines in the first place?

That's a good excuse for fraud - programming mistakes.

And they say that no election shenanigans occurred in Georgia in 2020. Yeah right. Get rid of the Dominion machines or suffer the consequences.

I took the training and was a poll worker in Georgia last month. This should not be possible and would not be possible unless the scanners are programmed to do it. Not possible by honest mistake. The protocols are strict. The machines now come in large rolling units, with numbered seals all over them. No more riding around with a voting machine the trunk of a car. Once shecked in on the voter rolls, the voter receives an activation card and goes to an electronic screen where the ballot he/she has selected (dem/rep/non partisan - it's a primary) comes up onscreen. The voter makes his/her choice, reviews the ballot then presses PRINT. A paper ballot is generated into the voter's hand to be checked by him/her - then he/she takes it over, places it in the scanner which records the vote (weakspot) and drops the paper ballot into a sealed box below. No one but the voter ever handles the paper ballot until it's cast. The paper ballots are a true reflection of the voter's wishes. At the close of the poll, the number of ballots issued and the number of ballots scanned must match up. BUT of course, if the scanners are programmed not to count the *content* as actually cast - well, there you have it. My poll (not in DeKalb) was run as a tight ship. I have absolute confidence in the generation and legitimacy of the paper ballots. Any manipulation of the DeKalb County machines or results would have to have been done before the scanners got to the polling stations. The close of polling printouts from the scanner have to be posted on the outside door of the polling place. We had candidates come by to check their results.

When elections are totally unreiliable, perhaps it REALLY is time to take names randomly out of phone books and make those people our elected representatives and executives. It would save time and money.

This is delicious. Democrats cheating Democrats.
The Article includes "The secretary of state's office admitted late last month to making several programing mistakes in the ballot equipment that affected the final tally." With Democrats it's ALWAYS "mistakes." Throughout her life Hillary Clinton has made thousands of "mistakes."
How many other races were affected by these "progtamming mistakes"?
The Article doesn’t report that almost 33% of the Disrict 2 County Commission votes were miscounted. 12,639 votes were counted.

Return to hand counted paper ballots strung on a string. Can still cheat, but it is a lot harder and requires more complicit cheaters.

How can one make a mistake in programming a vote tabulating machine? Democrat vote = D+1, Republican vote = R+1. Even a caveman could do it.
The Kraken is getting tired swimming in and out of his cave.
