SQL = Simple Query Language, it's a query language to make the modifications.

Access is a form of MS SQL

Oracle uses SQL

read that...

It would explain voter switching, If anybody wins access, they can do this remotely.

There are other databases that are not SQL.Like NoSQL, . You are talking about A relational database which almost all them use SQL(some don't Dataphor, oringal version of Postgre which evoled from Ingress). But most likely they use a relational database and you are right I just being a anal retentive DB programmer:p

My knowledge is more systems and networking (taking care of the hardware that runs your databases!)

And not so hard to do. I know way back in 2000 a guy here in Florida demonstrated how the voting machines could be hacked.

But the big problem is making people ACTUALLY understand what may have happened is the big hurdle. They'll always call anyone a "sore loser!" It's so much easier. This is just SO WRONG for ANY DEMOCRACY!

I'm not saying the reported number is higher. It's just from what I can tell there are a lot of people who don't even know that their actual votes don't count. There was a lot of ambiguity as to what circumstances a provisional ballot would indeed count.

A correct total of rejected ballots would give a better idea what's going on.

to confirm my recollection of the Carter Center's opinion on the sorry state of US elections (which I haven't found yet), I found something cheerful: http://www.cartercenter.org/news/pr/democracy-092515.html

And no. I'm not doubting your math.

But how to prove all of it is a YUUUUGE problem. Apparently the POWER BROKERS haven't covered ALL this up and the boat has a few leaks!

We can only hope we'll find many more leaks. And some call this a Democracy. Not so much THIS DEMOCRATIC PARTY right now!
