@Sanguine@mystery-ak I will expand on what I said about reports of voter fraud. I said, "Much of the time what you read on the net about voter fraud, is not true as the person/people reporting doesn't/don't have all the facts and do knee jerk reporting."
When a voter fraud article is posted somewhere and I see it, I trace it down to find out what really happened. Here is a case in point that has been posted over and over on the internet - it shows up on the net at every election:
The headline is something like, "Voting Machines Are Proven To Be Easily Hacked". It is the same story over and over about two men who hacked a voting machine. People went with that headline and what the men did to the machine and thought it was proof voting machines can't be trusted - we should get rid of them, etc..
The problem with the story is, in order to hack/change the machine, they had to actually have the machine in their possession, physically change it. Sure, that could be done if you have the machine, but, before an election when the machines are programmed for that election, after they are checked for accuracy by the election administrator and the two party chairmen, they are locked in a room, with two locks on the door. The election administrator has one key and the sheriff has the other key. In an election where the sheriff is on the ballot, the county judge has the key (those two positions are never on the ballot together).
On election day, the sheriff's deputies deliver the machines to the voting precinct. then, the judge of one party and the alternate judge of the other party, check the machines to be sure they are set at 0. Every state has election laws instructing counties how they must protect their machines after they are programmed. Their system may be different, but the effect is the same - the machines are protected.
As you can see, after programming, voting machines are not set out in the public for someone to be able to lay their hands on them to hack/change them. Using common sense, would you place the programmed machines out in the open for anyone to handle them? Of course not.
I guarantee you, at the next election, this article about easily hacking voting machines, will be all over the net again. I have seen this article on the net at every election for years and people believe it every time.
