Seeing all of the reports coming from early votes being switched by the machines is interesting. Perhaps Trump asked for us to vote early so this type of fraud could be exposed and resolved before Election Day.

We don't have Dominion voting machines in NC. We have paper ballots that are scanned into a machine and results are tabulated. The scanner is called a DS2000.
If the machine switched my vote I would never know bc all it says is I voted after the paper ballot goes into the slot.
But we do have paper ballots that can be hand counted if they are needed to be done.
Any machine Can. Be. Hacked.
I cannot understand why people don't seem to understand that. All they are doing is introducing a hidden process into the voting system that no-one can satisfactorily audit. If you really wanted an open and transparent system you would never consider introducing any such Black Box systems.
Even worse, the machines do not even need to be hacked. They can be programmed to lie! And then lying code can remove itself before it is ever discovered.
True but my precinct has NO internet at all. I live in a very rural county. I trust my own county to tally the votes correctly bc I know all the Election Board members.
What I don't trust is what happens when these same results go on to the State Board of Elections.
We hand deliver the thumb drive of the DS2000 with all the votes on it to the County and they download it and send it in to the state.
But if an election is contested those hard copy ballots are kept and counted up by hand later on.
The point I was trying to make is that no external connection to the internet is actually required for the machines to lie about the vote tally.
However, you are quite correct to worry about what happens to the totals when they are passed on. Again, the scope is endless. The USB drives could be switched or the machine that receives the totals could swap them to make a preferred candidate the winner.
When that total is added to the other totals no-one would be able to spot any discrepancies.
You also need to watch very carefully how a recount is performed. Often, the individual ballots are never actually recounted, just the piles they were put into so if they were categorised incorrectly then that error will not be found.
Same with matching signatures for postal votes. If it was not done the first time then it will not (cannot) be re-checked later.
