The part about this that I don’t like is that they are saying the machines cannot be used again because of the audit. So does that mean they are going to replace these things with Gen 2 machines that are engineered to cover their tracks better? These machines really only have one purpose, so it’s hard for me to even imagine how they can justify compromise based on the audit. If they can be compromised by an audit, aren’t they sort of admitting they can be compromised during an election too? I fear the replacements, because we have to assume they are learning from what’s gone on during and since the election. These legislators need to be considering laws and regulations surrounding what voting machines are or are not used. Better yet, no elected official should really be involved with elections or election integrity. I don’t care who you are, the temptation is too great. There needs to be an independent group that administers and protects our elections. Easy to say, hard to accomplish. But if we want universal confidence in our elections, those who stand to benefit should not be in charge.
