New video provides proof of cellular modems in Florida voting machines

28. You can see the paper tape in the video... 9 seconds in, draped over the left side of the machine.

I worked as an election judge in the midterms here in Minnesota. We used a ballot counter that, if not exactly the same, was a similar model. If anyone bothered to ask, I would have told them and allowed the to watch as we closed the polls. The ballot counter send results wirelessly, via a cellular hotspot, to city hall. The machine prints paper tapes with the results. No particular skill are required "to get close enough", just ask to witness and don't get in the way.

I am also an expert programmer in the database that I know a lot of these machine use. Given unfettered access (which I don't have), the desire (which I don't have) and willingness to go to jail (which, you get the point) I could program it to change the results so that the paper tapes, the wireless report and the USB jump drive (which I forgot to mention) had the results I wanted. I'm not sure that I could do that without leaving evidence and I would not be able to do a thing about the paper ballots, filled out by the voters, would say. A recount, for any reason, would show concrete evidence of tampering.

The wireless capability of these machines does nothing to indicate vague, undefined claims of "hacking".

The only meaningful point of the OP, if true, is that recounting the ballots is illegal in Florida. If one can't recount the ballots, one might as well use direct mark touchscreens, which can be tampered with, with no evidence left, and should be banned by Federal law. Since we know that Florida counties did conduct recounts, I doubt that even that part of the OP is true. The OP is an alarmist screed.
