Must Listen: Voting Problems Crop Up Ahead of Elections
Very telling story on NPR this morning. The country is already experiencing reports ranging “from hackers getting into an official registration database to ballots being printed incorrectly.”
“Hackers got into the election website for DePage County, Illinois, and inserted a new voter qualification. It said they couldn’t be homosexuals. Officials quickly removed the unauthorized entry and assured voters hackers would not be able to tamper with actual election results.”
Verbal assurances won’t do. We must have Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trails.
Something tells me that this election will not be over at midnight on November 8.
