Back to the election topic; I still think the Democrats rigged the election. I read someone claimed that the Democrats just did a better job of it and that Trump did it too. I don't think so. Biden is a career politician. There are mechanisms in place to swing elections; that is why open source election software is so undesirable to the politicians. They want software that can be manipulated. Trump is not a career politician; he has held only 1 elected office in his life. His supporters are largely people with no political connections. He was elected without help from any political establishment. Four years ago, the Democrats underestimated him and were prepared this year. The Republicans despise him for is independence! Any mechanisms that they have were not used to help him. I truly hate the idea that the establishment is going to get away with it. They should have just waited him out.

1) Biden is career politician, sure, but so is Trump. Claiming he's not is a disservice to yourself. He's been in the business game (and this game is heavily impacted/impacts politics) for a very long time. 2) This isn't open source software, dunno if you realize what open source software is if you say it is. (It isn't. It's the opposite.)

1) Nope! Trump plays politics for sure. That doesn't not make him a politician. 2) Huh? Do you think I said it was open source? I did not! I only said that politicians hate it.

"open source election software"

What's your point?

@GregInHouston2, you just advanced to level 12!

... it's not open source software?

And it's not open source because the politicians that pick the software hate open source.

Open source software is more easily manipulated?

@Maw, you just advanced to level 40!

LOL! That is very funny!

Because... the source is /open/, it's public.

Meaning its flaws, are also public.

That's what makes it difficult to manipulate! No hidden features.

What is the name of this software anyway? Just curious.

You would never put your back end software as open source software. Ever.

I'm not in the election software game. I was somewhat familiar with it in 2001 to 2002. Not familiar any more.

EVER.

"Come ruin my company."

So you know nothing about software.

I'm literally a software developer, try again.

Not a very good one. I used to be a software developer.

@GregInHouston2 if you watched the testimony of the Dominion's CEO to the MI state legislature, you'll know that the software is made open-source to the certification board. That is there is an independent certification board that goes over the software line-by-line, also the software is distributed to the state election officials from that certification board NOT from the company itself ... so while the source code may not be open for public inspection it is open to a independent certification board

And you'd never find anyone in their right mind putting their Python/PHP/C++/C back-end on a public repo on GitHub.

I did watch the testimony. Not good enough scrutiny in my book.

Dominions CEO? Glad he cleared it up.

Scrutiny is dangerous and un-American. Nothing to see here.

"Here, let me help you exploit our back end." -- Calls me a bad software developer. 👍

Isn't software besides the point though? I thought the paper ballot investigation was more promising. Focusing on the machines and all that, rather than the paper ballot and the ink does indeed seem like "smoke and mirrors".

right ... so it's your book or the highway? ... this what I don't understand about folks claiming that the Democrats rigged the election, there were processes in place for years, including independent certification boards, audit trails, re-counting of the votes by hand, signature audits, etc. and none of it is good enough ... so where did the fraud occur? and what precisely is good enough in YOUR book?

Democrats rigging an election? No way Jose.

finally how was this all good enough in 2016 and not 2020?

The signature audits did not happen. Or were audited by people seeing a Biden vote and wanting them to match. There is no way those 200K Biden only votes didn't have identical signatures. But you know that too; that is why you don't want them scrutinized.
