#42> Smartmatic accused Rupert Murdoch’s network of promoting a false narrative about the 2020 election I can't wait to see the evidence. That'll prove that the devices are auditable. They are, right? If anyone in government really wants to have a notable legacy, here's how: petition the USDS to create an integrated open-source election system, and get people like Matt Blaze and Harri Hursti to run a red team against it…
When Fox talking heads are claiming Hugo Chavez had a hand in the design, and "The Smartmatic software is in the DNA of every vote-tabulating company’s software and systems", I don't think the ability to audit the machines will come into play. What will come into play is whether or not any of Fox's unsubstantiated shit-talking can be taken to be true. IANAL, and I have might have a particular dislike for all parties involved, but I don't think we'll get the evidence we'd like to see.

What makes you think people will accept The One True Machine from the feds is any better?
Source code. If they don't like it, they can audit it themselves.

It seems to me that the people getting served with lawsuits weren't just concerned about vulnerabilities and calling for verification, they were outright claiming that the election was stolen. And stating made-up ideas about how it was done as facts, at that. Like Sidney Powell saying Dominion machines were designed to count Biden votes as 1.26 and Trump votes as 0.74.
If all they wanted was verification, well, Georgia recounted all the paper ballots by hand and compared the results to what the machines scanned. So did Antrim county in Michigan. So did Dane and Milwaukee counties in Wisconsin -- which Trump's campaign paid $3M to recount. Those recounts didn't show a problem with the machines.
If you believe it was stolen, you have to believe they faked the recounts too, or that they recounted fake paper ballots fabricated to back up the original numbers. But at that point, is it really about the voting machines? You could take the machines out of the picture completely, have an all-paper election, counted by hand starting on Nov 3, and have the exact same allegations that you don't trust the count.

CNN as well? Some CNN lies: 1. "When President Trump met with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe last November, the pair took part in a koi fish feeding ceremony. A video posted by CNN appeared to show Trump dumping his entire box of food into the koi pond unprompted. An unedited video revealed that Trump was simply following the lead of Abe, who emptied his box of food first." 2."CNN claimed that only Democratic mem…

The most incredible factoid for me: These machines, the Smartmatic machines, weren't even really used in the election. >Smartmatic technology was used only in Los Angeles County, California in the 2020 election. The system we provided to LA County does not count, tabulate or store votes.[1] A single county in the whole of the United States used them. Verifiable or not, there's nothing this company could of done to ch…

#48There must be repercussions for lies. There must be. It's not a free speech issue.
When government decides a group must be punished then bad things happen. Genocide, civil war, etc. http://www.projetaladin.org/holocaust/en/history-of-the-holo...

Ah yes, the average citizen will definitely trust that "homomorphic encryption" isn't just some nonsense made up so the election can be rigged.
The difference is that with something like ElectionGuard - as long as the encrypted result is publicly available - you would remove an entire class of complaints that people have with the current system - individuals would be able to validate that their personal vote was counted appropriately, and you would be able to audit the authenticity of every vote without disclosing/revealing who individuals vote for. Unlike t…

Not just 5 years. They were lead cheerleaders for the 2003 Iraq War.
