lol dis nigga.
DK has it pretty well covered, but let me reiterate:
These machines are not networked. They are watched over by no less than 2 old people (one from each party) with nothing better to do all at all times. There are younger, more tech savy workers roving around looking for exactly this stuff. I was one of these volunteers, and the best part was we were not allowed to touch the machines. We could tell the old people who worked the polling stations what to do, but we could not touch machines.
Now, let me also tell you what putting the machine into maintenance mode does:
Absolutely jack fucking shit. It will tell you machine diagnosistics, and let you reboot the device. You can't clear memory or do anything destructive without tearing the machine down.
Also, they leave this off, inside said machine there is a paper print out, like one of those "show the work" calculators. If there is any funny business suspected, you compare the paper roll to the vote replay.
edit:
The machine will only rev up the paper copy in proper vote mode, and you have to punch in a unique, double-blind code distributed on paper only to your poling place to vote.
I don't want to say the system is infalliable, but you would need to bypass several layers of human controls to compromise the system.
Also when I say volunteer, you still get paid. Pretty well, actually. You are always in pairs, and the guy I was with got federal mileage reimbursement too. Its a sweet gig, definitely recommend.

It's becoming clearer to me that niggas like John who push this muh voting machine shit are people who have never actually voted in their lives. Sounds familiar.

If there we’re vote hacking going on, we would have found out about it by now.

The one legit criticism I've heard is buried in that Times article midway through:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/21/magazine/the-myth-of-the-hacker-proof-voting-machine.html
That IF you have a modem installed and IF you use that modem to transfer official results, you have no control over whether that data ends up going over a cellular network or not, and there are known ways to interfere with cell towers.
Really though, there are a million simpler ways anyone wanting to sabotage a local precinct could do so without engaging in hacker fantasies. Just taping a "CLOSED" sign on the outside of the door might even work till some poll worker notices.

Yes, I should have said they don't have incoming networking.
Now, even if you managed impersonation/MitM (and this shouldn't happen, but again, government), the machine still has an internal electronic and physical copies; if there is any discrepencies or close counts, they will validate with the machine results. If something still seems screwy, they run electronic read paper tabulation, if it STILL looks screwy, you can do hand-count paper tabulation.
Again, I don't want to say its fool proof, but to fool it, you're going to need to bribe or blackmail almost the entire election commission. And if you've done that, you could fuck with the paper votes too.

You must be in quite the funk with everything crashing in your life right now, John.
Even your pay to win and mobile poke-games aren't able to give you the pick-me-up they once did.
How tragic. Why don't you share with your followers all your shallow problems?

Her talking about "people devoid of decency" in a field she desperately wants to be in is exactly like that Always Sunny cold open where Frank says "You gotta be a real lowlife piece of shit to get involved in politics" and the title card appears: "The Gang Runs for Office"

I think Brianna is just annoyed that because there seem to be so many scumbags in her field, it puts people on guard and therefore harder for her to scam them.

This tweet is totally baffling. I though her award winning game is her life accomplishment? Since when we consider playing a video game even in strenuous conditions an accomplishment? And if we do, aren't all these teenagers that play Fornite stoned to their gills more accomplished than Brianna?
Not only that but, she is loudly proclaiming that she is one of them... That makes you think, no? After all to succeed in a field filled with sharks, you have to be the top shark.

Three weeks to go until election day, and still no appearance of this advert they supposedly filmed with the Lynch standee.
The pre-election FEC report is due from tomorrow, but I expect she'll leave it to the last minute yet again. I'm really interested to see if she's actually doing anything, because from the outside it looks like her campaign is completely abandoned.
Just for the sake of preparedness, does anyone know what sort of time the results of primary elections in MA are announced? I'd like to set my alarm clock and get the news as soon as it's released. There's bound to be a good laugh to be had. My money's on Voehl getting more votes than Wu.

Or touched any technology more complex than a consumer level iPhone.
Could you hack a voting machine to get it to spit out fake votes? Yes. In a lab! With no human observers. And it would leave a clear trail that things had been compromised. You can’t just walk into a voting booth and wave your sonic screwdriver to cast 300 votes for Chairman Wu.
EDT I’m calling it now. “Hacked Voting Machines” will be Wu’s song and dance when he gets fewer than 100 votes.

What Wu believes: paper cannot be hacked, it's "offline" in layman terms, the past proves that it is impossible to manipulate any election results that uses paper ballots.
I must have missed something but I've randomly tripped over a bunch of people suddenly droning on about the sanctity of paper in what looks like almost copy-pasted posts. The Red Menace, internet trolls, Diebold machines, hacking, yeah I get those things it's just that the actual paper fixation seems to have blossomed over the last couple of weeks and the general talking points seems to have turned from "electronic voting is bad, let me list the reasons: ..." to "paper, paper is the greatest".

John is oblivious to the fact that voter fraud has existed throughout history, since long before the days of electronic voting. For example, "graveyard voting" was a long-standing tradition in Chicago politics, as repeatedly commented upon by Mike Royko.
Reporter Earl Mazo told the Washington Post that he traveled to Chicago, obtained a list of voters in the suspicious precincts, and began matching names with addresses:
"There was a cemetery where the names on the tombstones were registered and voted. I remember a house. It was completely gutted. There was nobody there. But there were 56 votes for [John F.] Kennedy in that house."
And all done without electronic voting machines. Imagine that. But then, John has roughly the same relationship to reality that he has to his long-lost penis -- they are estranged, reality and him.
