Voting machines are hacked every year at DEFCONs voting village. They're wildly insecure and no one should trust them. Frankly, any claims of manipulation of voting machines are at worst plausible.


And, yet these companies won their lawsuits, and no wide scale voter fraud was ever found.

So, your point is entirely irrelevant.


You're confusing terms here. Voter fraud is fraud by voter. This is not what we're talking about with the voting machine susceptibility.


No, you are confusing terms here. We are talking about Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network, which alleged that Fox had broadcast false statements that Dominion's voting machines had been rigged specifically to steal the 2020 election.

That is a wildly different than reporting on what is demonstrated at DEFCON's voting village. What are you trying to pull.



We know what voter fraud is you disingenuous freak.


Winning or loosing a lawsuit doesn't say much about the truth of any matter. Especially when it's a civil suit between corporations, or a criminal suit in a jurisdiction that has plea deals.


One party agreed to pay the other party close to a billion dollars to stop the lawsuit from continuing. Why did they do that?


Accounts are hacked every second. They are wildly insecure and noone should trust them. Frankly saying you are just a hacked account is at worst plausible.

You logic is flawed at the core. With that train of thought you can infer everything.

Why trust voting it can be manipulated.


Is the objective truth of what I say contingent on whether it is a hacked account? I'd say no.

All voting systems can be manipulated, there's no need to make it so easy though.


In the days before voting machines, the dead people simply voted in alphabetical order, eg (1962) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41706655

[my recommendation: try to build a high trust society instead of patching epicycles onto the side of a low trust one]
