The video from West Virginia is notable. After calibration, the machine still malfunctions. The election official is soft spoken and seems a little oblivious to the obvious major problem exhibited.
Aside from the fact that such “paper trails” most likely will never be counted by anyone anyway, the fact is that these machines are easily tampered with, in about two seconds, such that even the “paper trails” can be hacked without the voter noticing, in such a way that they would match the internal hacked numbers perfectly. In such a case, as demonstrated by UCSB, even a 100% post-election “audit” of the machines “paper trails” would fail to reveal that they had been maliciously tampered with.
The machines should all be quarantined and paper ballots used. The vote tabulating machines and secret software is suspect and there should be extensive audits to preclude fraud. Check the computer knowledge of your candidates for secretary of state and vote for knowledge and integrity. Why do the machines always seem to jump away from the democratic candidate?
