Yes. Did it slip out by accident? I've been critical, well more than critical, let's say completely objecting to the use of electronic voting machines for years. As somebody who worked in the tech industry, I realized that there is a belief in the minds of average people, that machines are objective and impersonal and cannot lie or make mistakes. Have you ever challenged somebody when there's an obvious data entry error and they rigidly stick by whatever the machine says versus what you're trying to tell them actually was the situation? Belief in the machine is almost a belief in an infallible oracle. Obviously data can be corrupted and falsified as anybody who has had their accounts hacked should realize. So voting systems that rely on electronics without some form of physical verification are subject to fraud, and any counting system that does not have oversight and is completely hidden from view electronically or otherwise is also subject to fraud or to quote Stalin, it's not who votes it's who counts the votes. Fraud in voting machines has been going on for decades. Even the very old paper punch systems used in the 40s through 80s could be gotten around by simply having certain precincts non-functional during the day and not tell the voters their votes would not be counted. I experienced this frequently in Philadelphia when I lived in a section of the city that did not like the mayor.

We need to bottle and contain everything they say and view it as part of an aimless thought sequence used solely for showing hypocrisy.

libsrnazi • 3 years ago

It'll be great use outside the legal processes...

But few people will see it...

Which makes your point about preserving and organizing content the media will never show, before it's unavailable, is so spot-on...

Bobbyt • 3 years ago

Yes because when she lost Shillary was complaining about everything but the voting machines, so he waited until she was done to bring it up as a topic on his show after the subject entered the discourse and he had all this flexibility to be an outlier. If we agreed during the apolitical time he would suddenly see it as political and delete it/apologize like Stephen Colbert and his homophobic implications. The best is to make them gaslight their audience that they didn't mean X for all those years.

Meanwhile, there is no proof of widespread journalism in America.

berniegoetz • 3 years ago

The 2020 election is invalid, plain and simple. If this election is allowed to stand the American republic is ended.

King JOErge • 3 years ago

Indeed.

Hiden was illegitimately selected.

FrankC • 3 years ago

His point is that a paper trail is mandatory to even come close to a clean election. He is actually right. This time.

The best system though is still the paper ballot with the bubble to fill in, and then that is run through a scanner. The ballots are retained, and can be re-scanned if needed.

Guest • 3 years ago
FrankC • 3 years ago

There would need to be some enhancements for security, but they could be done. It would then be far more secure than the electronic systems that can be accessed remotely. Possibly a bar code ID number that becomes part of the scanned record would prevent the multiple scans.

Where I vote it was this system, fill in the bubble for your vote and then a scanner reads the completed ballot.

brett a thompson • 3 years ago

Bingo. There was only one way to get Biden elected.

Michal Drzymala • 3 years ago

Where is FBI (Feckless Bureau of Imbeciles) and DOJ (Department of Jerkoffs) on election fraud ???

Read the Constitution. States hold jurisdiction and power over elections.

Not fraud over election, IMBECILE...

Super Geek • 3 years ago

Wait! - Massive Democratic RINO election fraud!! - Trump will win. FYI TUCKER is now owned, DE-flowered, and penetrated- by ANTIFA, FOX and Democratic Party. Stay away. Noticed strange trend with Tucker acting weird since UPS Hunter Biden story - which he was backing away from. Tucker was quite disgusting this week. Picking on a brilliant and courageous woman Sidney Powell !

God Bless Donald Trump!

Mysterious Stranger • 3 years ago

Bet he's not saying that now.

Jonathan Tuttle • 3 years ago

Seriously? This pathetic excuse for a human being doesn't care if ballots are on toilet paper as long as democrooks win.

Jay • 3 years ago

Republican Congress had 2 years to prioritize voter ID. Useless Paul Ryan Congress failed on this, on big tech social media censorship and Obamacare. Result: this fraud-filled 2020 disaster was guaranteed.

Jonathan Tuttle • 3 years ago

Yep, much of our current troubles are traced directly back to the pathetic and feckless RINO, Paul Ryan.

Next time it will be internet voting, totally secure. /s

WT...John Oliver is making sense. Did he miss a day of drinking Kool-aid?

disqus_t0NgNSMTmg • 3 years ago

There have been articles and studies for years. In my opinion, these types of opinions leading up to 2020 were laying the groundwork in case Trump won. They could call him illegitimate and claim he cheated. They could spend 4 years investigating him. Remember criticism of Trump over being told foreign actors wanted to interfere but Trump would not take it seriously bc he needed their help to win?

Funny how when Biden wins, no problem, everything secure. Kind of like the Dan Akroyd/Emily L bits on SNL - “Never mind.”

Analog voting machines. No more digital!

oldlady • 3 years ago

Why have machines at all? We have until Jan. 20 to seat new winners. What is the rush? Old fashioned hand counting may take longer but it is more secure with proper oversight. We can wait a few days or even weeks if it means honest elections. Networks will just not be calling winners before votes are all tabulated and certified. It is not a horse race and shouldn't be treated as such. Hold your tickets, please, we have a photo finish. We need voter ID and that number matched to each vote.

caperick • 3 years ago

You're right. Any machine is corruptible. Hand counting with verified observers from both parties is totally doable.

mrminwnc • 3 years ago

people act like it's impossible to count 100 million+ votes, but it's not at all. it can be easily done precinct by precinct, then all it takes is an adding machine. the old-fashioned kind, with the paper tape.

A B • 3 years ago

The thing is precincts are small. A dozen people could each count a few thousand votes in 12 hours. x20000 precincts it is done. It's distributive computing.

Mark Luhman • 3 years ago

Yep it is call paper and pencil. Work fine for nearly 200 years. Counting results we faster back in the day too.

SOROS, One of the owners of Dominion and SmartMatic too...
Any one of these articles should be good for "Evidence".
Democrat Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden ALL
WARNED the USA about DOMINION being a Security Problem in the Elections!
Even the New York Times warned the US....

This is the DEFINITION of FOREIGN ELECTION INTERFERENCE that the
Democrats Complained about for the past 5 years!!!

10,000 votes were cast for Biden in Nevada which came from out of State. How could that be Legal

naughtysheep • 3 years ago

Paper ballots. On Election Day. In person. Valid ID. If it’s that important to people, they will find a way. Limited exceptions (deployed military, etc). Otherwise, make it a PRIORITY.

Rocky • 3 years ago

If you think the fraudulent voting for the Democrat/socialist/Marxist/communist Party is bad now, wait until the 2022 or 2024 elections. They are, at this moment, working with the Masters of the Universe to enable voting with mobile phones simply with a text.

The One Party rule is in the future, and nothing can be done to stop it as long as the majority of the sheeple support the Masters.

As regards EVS (electronic voting systems): Don't vote and the choice is theirs — vote and the choice is still theirs.
