Are the voting machines secure?

Last edited Tue Oct 25, 2022, 04:53 PM - Edit history (1)

I have no doubt that the high voter enthusiasm right now is a result mostly of very angry women (Roe). I believe the votes are certainly there for us to win. However, will those votes be properly counted? They have proven that they think they can get away with ANYTHING! Also, have all the machines that were messed with been replaced?

They are extensively tested before voting begins.

The only thing that is internet capable is our voter registration database

Of course there are printed rolsters to back up that information.

Every few hours, the numbers have to match.

I don't know about other states.
