Critical Discovery During Wisconsin Recount: Cellular Connectivity of Tabulators

[AtheistCrusader]

79. Hand counting occurred. That's why these optical machines are superior to touchscreens.

This list tells me nothing about which had the cell module installed or how many modules were purchased. It also doesn't tell me the purchase date, so I cannot infer if it is even possible to install the cell module in all of these DS200's.

I am angry, because this OP is an example of 'a lie can go halfway around the world while the truth is putting on it's pants.'. The article does not even claim that a single machine HAD THE CELL MODULE INSTALLED. Not even one. It reports they have (in the latest version) the OPTION to install, which is NOT news even though it is presented as this frightening discovery in the article. Not news.

I am angry because there is an unrealized inference here; if you hack the machines and alter the tabulation totals, the means in which they are counted, or the recorded totals in the memory card, you must needs have accomplices in the form of people who were optically verifying the ballots as they emerged from the machine. Some of those people are our staunchest allies, and I am ANGRY at how they are, whether people realize it or not, calling their integrity into question.

So yeah, I'm angry.

Rural reporting as an option makes unofficial totals available to everyone, faster. It also makes state-wide non-national elections cheaper/easier for elections other than this one. They don't throw the machines out when this election is over. They will be used for all sorts of elections.


Take pride in your poll watchers, and trust in this technology BECAUSE it is verifiable. THESE machines, are. Touchscreens, you won't see me defending, for that reason.

We need to get to the bottom of why we actually lost, and this conversation is not it. It's just going to convince a bunch of people who will never circle back when the analysis is complete, that the process is rigged and not worth participating in. I don't believe that's the answer, and I hope you don't either.
