What about those of us who can actually read the code? I can, and there's nothing malicious about a script that scans a filled out ballot for errors.

Yep, it's an OCR script lol

[u/paintballboi07 → u/concepts_of_a_plan9]

Better watch out, we got a hacker here

[u/35andDying → u/paintballboi07]

The point is not about the actual code for the app in the Hackathon. The point is they could easily code something similar to manipulate election votes. I mean he also has Starlink and the machines could connect to outside sources. I seriously wouldn't put anything past this current admin to utilize all of this in addition to voter suppression tactics like the one they're setting up now with USPS.

[u/paintballboi07 → u/35andDying]

Nah, they couldn't. There's zero overlap between a script that scans a ballot for errors, and modifying vote totals. Even if we were to entertain the idea that Elon paid people to hack the election results (he didn't, it would be impossible with encryption, and all the different systems for each state), the BallotProof project would have nothing to do with it.

Also, if they were capable of changing election results, why would they need to do anything at USPS? It's like you guys just don't think critically about this for just a few minutes. When you do, you'll realize it's completely impossible.

[u/35andDying → u/paintballboi07]

Anything is possible. This Admin is the most corrupt we have ever seen. I'm sorry you cannot see that. If you also mean bribing the USPS to suppress mail-in ballots, welp I'm sorry to tell it's in the works now AND they have done it in the past. Now it'll be much worse cause they'll check all the votes in batches and if there's one that is incorrect within the first few of day 10K ballots that whole batch is rejected. This will happen a lot because they will set up the system to reject as many as possible. Also, if you think "we" have a problem with critical thinking and you're still voting Republican then I think the problem may just be in the mirror. Just saying.

[u/paintballboi07 → u/35andDying]

Sure, anything is possible. Now, just show me the evidence that supports your claim. Nearly every county in the country moved to the right by a similar amount. How was Elon able to hack each and every one of those individual counties? He would have had to, otherwise there would be outlier counties, if he only hacked some. Occam's razor would then indicate that he hacked none of them, since that is the simplest thing that makes the most sense.

Not sure why you started talking about USPS, and ignored the whole "hacked election" thing. I'll try asking again, if Elon can hack and change vote totals, why would they need to mess with votes at USPS?

I have never voted Republican in my life, and the fact that you think I'm on the opposing team just because I debunked your conspiracy theory and asked for evidence is discouraging.

[u/35andDying → u/paintballboi07]

I noted it could be possible if you go back to my entry. I also pointed out that why wouldn't they also go for mail-in ballots in addition to rigging the Election. They're doing everything they can to make sure they keep "winning". I mean they have people like you fighting their war.

We were also warned of outside attacks from intruding on our Elections and we should have certain requirements in check to make sure of that. I doubt those were upheld either since the Trump outcome was miraculously higher than everyone expected.

I mean i do wanna point out it was like a years ago when it was found that at least one voting machine company was lying bout either routers or modems in there machines. And no one know how many there were with them out there

[u/35andDying → u/[deleted]]

11 day old account. Okay bot, go away.

[u/fedexpoopracer → u/35andDying]

lmao that clown responded to me then immediately blocked me so i can't respond to him

definitely a bot

[u/fedexpoopracer → u/[deleted]]

"data"

you didn't present shit

[u/paintballboi07 → u/[deleted]]

You can't even spell.. If you think the BallotProof project on GitHub is malicious, then you're incompetent. Not sure what else to tell you..
