DJT thanks Musk for 'vote-counting computers'

32. I can't begin to tell you how many flaws I identified

in this detailed explanation.

I am probably the foremost computer expert on DU. And I am a former Hacker... and then White Hat... ran security for NASA... did some of the security for the White House ( which isn't really secure ) and once did work for the Brown Company, aka The Puzzle Palace aka The NSA. None of which I can ever discuss in detail other than I had a security clearance. One where they investigated me all the way back to the age of 3 or 4. As in tracked down my parents neighbors that remember me as a 4 year old. grade school teachers and classmates.. all the way to college and into my work life. The FBI was VERY thorough.

Anyone remember the Morris worm ( one of the first widespread hacks )... I was on the team that traced it and killed it.

That system of described security measures including the paper ballots COULD be hacked, given enough resources and the willingness to do so and the key is that even if you didn't hack the paper ballots, is the phrase "so it can be audited by hand if needed"... and understanding how "need" is established. The key to a good hack is to NOT make a big enough change to something that it is noticed but which is big enough to make the desired outcome. Don't swing an election by 20 points over what the polling shows... not when 3 percent will do the trick. Yet make the difference big enough that no one demands a recount ( which MIGHT lead to discovery ).

Think of a very early banking hack. Someone at a major bank wrote COBOL ( god help me ) to calculate accrued interest on every savings account... realized that it rounded to the nearest penny... and they made a slight change to to truncate rather than round... taking the extra fraction of a penny and dropping into a different account. The bank auditors never caught on because the amount of interest owed checked out completely... and the account holders never caught on because a fraction of a penny didn't ever strike them and being "wrong" even if they took the time to calculate the interest owed. Over time and 100s of thousands of accounts, the "extra account" eventually grew too big... and the perps were caught only because the IRS wanted to know the source of the income for this account that was owned by a single individual who DID NOT declare this on his taxes... too greedy and too paranoid. Oops.

The only thing that isn't hackable is paper ballots, marked by the voter, and counted by hand multiple times. In public view and with reporting totals done in public all the way up until you have a state total or, my preference, a national total for the two elected officers to national office. No electronics anywhere near the process.

but I've stated this all before. There isn't any evidence that this election was stolen other than the polling was wrong. But the polling is always wrong but plus or minus... that said... I claim that it is certainly possible.
