The left is trying to create some controversy. They are claiming the voting machines in Florida are changing Democrat votes to votes for Republicans, and it takes several passes through the machine to get it to record the correct vote.
This is complete bullshit. I voted just last night. You enter the polling site and present your ID. There are two people there who both check your ID, I guess to ensure that no one lets people cheat the process. They show your information to you on a touchscreen, and you click a button on the screen verifying your information, then you sign using a stylus and the polling center workers make sure the signature matches the one on your ID.
On a side note, other Democrats are saying the ID requirement is stupid because it’s easy to get a fake ID. That’s also false. My Florida Drivers License has all sorts of anti-counterfeit features. There are holograms etched into the lamination of the state seal, a tiny map of the state, and of the holder’s face. If you hold your license at an angle, you can see the holograms. There is also microprinting and a watermark. These features make it nearly impossible to forge, at least for most people.
They look up your address and print your ballot. They have to print each person’s ballot because there are many different ballots, even within the same county, as there are different races in different areas. Voters in Orlando will need to cast votes for offices that aren’t applicable in Winter Park or Edgewood, even though all of them are in Orange county. Each ballot has a serial number that is now matched to you.
They direct you to a table where you fill out your ballot. You vote by filling in the bubbles with a pen, just like taking a test in school. Once complete, you walk towards the exit and the voting machines are right there. You slide your ballot into the slot, the machine reads the serial numbers and the cast votes, and tells you your vote has been recorded. It doesn’t display who or what you voted for. All it says is “Your ballot has been accepted, thank you for voting” with a large green checkmark. The workers keep your ballot for auditing purposes, and that’s it.
The claims that the machine is changing your vote are bullshit. There is no way to know one way or the other. That’s why there is an audit trail and observers present, so if there are questions, the entire process can be verified, but not on the spot. After.

Tell me you’re planning on protesting the election without telling me you’re planning on protesting the election?
The one thing the left DOES do far better than the right, is prep the battlespace and language. That is what they are doing here and now. Laying the foundation stones the castle of sand will be built upon in the future.

When thinking of dems always remember the fable of the boy that cried wolf. Their automatic first response to everything is to lie. ALWAYS

This just goes to show, the R’s will try to steal the election. The only way to stop them is to require photo ID and same-day, in person voting. That should stop the SOBs from stealing it.
The D’s should look into this.
/s If nobody can tell

I don’t know if their claims are true or lies. I do know that our voting machines in TN are nothing like that.
Here, candidates appear on the screen, and you mash the button next to your desired candidate. You mash another button to advance to the next page of offices & candidates. After you go through the entire slate of candidates, the machine displays all your votes for your perusal before you irrevocably submit the vote. I would imagine that this final screen is where they’re seeing (or claiming to see) discrepancies. I suspect that the issue is folks pushing the wrong button, although I wouldn’t put any possible screwup beyond the pale.

The problem is that computers are involved. Even if the source code were available (it’s not) few have the skills to vet it, and fewer the time. Even if you knew “the code” was fine (you can’t), you can’t know the machine in front of you is running that code.
If *I* were running the election machines (all of them, myself) , I could in fact be sure the election was valid, but I would be the *only* one who could be sure.
At this late date, we can be sure: Same day hand counted paper ballots in full public view, or you must assume it’s rigged.
In California, hand counting popwer ballots is now *illegal*.
