2020 election fraud, nothing to see here, don’t ask questions and move along……….. my only question is how much fraudulent voting are you comfortable with? I’m at zero tolerance for it but others, well, you just don’t know.

In our Congressional district 2, they just caught a woman going around to nursing homes and filling out absentee ballots for people that aren’t cognitive alert enough to vote for themselves. She was signing their names and turning them into be counted.

This is one republican seat that will likely flip to dems due to a court ruling that Alabama had to draw a minority majority district.

I don’t know what brand of voting machines we use BUT our Secretary of State CLAIMS they aren’t connected to the internet so are not hack-able.

That helps, but I believe most have USB ports so there is that.

The pole workers here ask for a government issued id, (State of Texas), then compare it to what it says on their screen, then scan the bar code and have you sign that it’s really you and not a cyborg, then you pick a ballot. You fill in the box to the left of the name you want. Then you place the paper ballot into the machine and wait for it to read both sides and the light turns green. Then you get a sticker and go on about your business. As it should be nationwide.

The fly in the ointment on that style paper ballot is *what is the scanner recording?". It doesn't matter what you marked on-screen that generated your piece of paper, which recorded what your actual votes for, it's the scanner itself that's potentially hack-able.

Not if it is a stand alone machine unconnected to the web.

They usually ask me for ID at the front door... but never once Im inside..

I’m guessing that’s how they are counted after the polls close.

We don’t have early voting so when I vote next week I’m going to pay attention and see if there’s any other cords besides the power cord.

A change I noticed in TX at our voting station this year was..

the machines we used for the last few years offered you the ability to vote for each individual candidate running for each individual office.. or you could simply choose to vote Republican or Democrat for the entire ticket (push one button and you vote for that one party for all positions)..

this year that option wasnt available.. you had to go through the entire down ticket and cast a vote for each office..

while I typically vote 100% R from the top to the bottom, and have never used the "party" vote option (I cast a vote for each person/office).. I thought that it was curious that this option was no longer available...

Not sure if TX is using the same voting machines state wide, or if there have been changes at just some stations, or what..

Yes there was a change... Texas house bill 25 did away with party line voting.

Personally I support this, I'm not opposed to voting across party lines

Gov. Abbott signs bill to eliminate straight-ticket voting beginning in 2020

After years of Texas voters having the option to vote for an entire party's slate in one fell swoop, the straight-ticket option will be no longer available beginning in 2020 under a bill Gov. Greg Abbott signed Thursday.

In other news I noticed that Joe Rogan's Trump interview is now at 37Mil views in 3 days and that's just YouTube.... No telling how many if you count X and Spotify.

Now Kamala didn't refuse to do Rogan's show, but she would only do it if Rogan traveled to her and capped the interview at 1hr.

Personally, I think this is just a lawyers way of denying the interview while trying to save face because an hour of Joe Rogan asking questions would be the hardest test she's ever faced in her political career.

Best explanation of this I've seen.....

Further I think it's very telling that she will not do the interview in the same format as Trump did with Rogan, because I genuinely believe that he would be polite and welcoming and give her the best opportunity she has to get her message out.

Problem is, she either has no message or at the very least can't convey it without the word salad buffet being laid out.... and Rogan would push back on that and masterfully so, as he's done interviews with much more intelligent and prepared people than both Kamala & Trump; but at least Trump stepped up to the plate, and in my opinion knocked it out of the park!

It depends on a stringently followed chain-of-custody.

We broke into "stand alone" voting machines at Defcon a couple years ago. Any sort of data port (USB, ethernet, parallel, serial, etc) will suffice.

Same in NC for early voting.

Never thought I'd hear this come out of Chris Cuomo's mouth.. but... I think he actually has figured things out regarding a pretty significant number of people that support Trump and what their feelings are and why they support him..

I'm proud to say that I cast my vote today for our first female President.
