currrently i could probably pick 5 counties right now here in nc

and i bet you money i could just guess the admin PW for those machines

federal voting standards and machines are needed at this stage

Wasn't John Podestas E-mail password jsut Obama2016? 😛

even if there was no problems

it is still needed

it probably was, thats not a horrible password, just not a good one

i know admins still using Password

Nope

no bullshit

exactly, the big issue is human error, cuz its not engineers thats running those machines, its just average plebs

Remember when Apple accidentally borked root password 2x?

but thats my point @Dr.Wol with better equipment that has to follow guidelines we can remove the human error

That Intel Meltdown was a worse issue 😛

we already have computer standards for handling credit card data

you dont want the voting to be at least that secure?

who was it again that said
If you make something Idiot proof, the universe will just make a better idiot?

probably some idiot

lol

couldnt resist

i just couldnt

I get what you mean to say, dont get me wrong :P, but theres no 100% guarantee

I mean it would have been great to idiot-proof the hawaii nuclear defense system when that went down

oh not by any means

i agree with you

but i bet we could get at least a 50% chance

where as now we are at like 10

and thats not missing a 0

besides, most voting fraud isn't done by machines, its more subtle ways

by having people drive to multiple voting sites etc

wouldnt be able to do that with a federal system

that would get eliminated

your vote was counted

have a nice day

well you'd need to get everyone fully registered

ya i know that part is a sticking point for a lot of people

it is a hard one to fix

Else you can be Billy Bob in one area, and Burt Maclin in another

you can do that already

thats how what you described currently works
