The process perhaps used by the GOP to steal elections? (Chirolas)
(This is DU's own papau)

William Chirolas -- World News Trust

Oct. 17, 2006 -- To steal an election we'd need only one programmer to write and debug this simple a code.

With only one person writing the code we would be unlikely to have a whistle-blower. But we might get whistle-blower reports because of weird update procedures or tests of machines just before the election, or unusual precinct choices for pre-election tests.

As I recall, the State of Georgia had such a comment about "weirdness" regarding last-minute "fixes" to the software (which is illegal for obvious reasons), and Ohio had comments about election machine technicians wandering among the machines in storage and at precinct locations, without being invited, or being announced or anticipated.

Nothing in the theft of election code would be documented as it would be inserted as was done in the Princeton video as a self-destructing worm that restores everything back to the original, apparently virgin, state after "fixing" the database so as to report the wrong -- biased toward the GOP -- totals. The software would recognize the difference between a real election and a functional test because of the way it is set-up -- based either on code used by the person turning the machine on (election official or technician), or based on a code entered to tell it this is a test.

The technician simply slips in a test memory card as per instructions, notes proper response, removes the card and replaces it with the correct blank card and moves on. The game is now fixed -- and the technician does not know what he did. The Texas fellow that was a technician described the last minute delivery of test cards and test instructions in 2004.

1. You also need the REAL date and time say from the radio xmit
from the atomic clock....

The vote changing needs to be done only when it is the real time and date of an election...
