VOTING ROUNDUP

With the election coming up in less than a week, voting device safety and security (or the lack thereof) is critical, particularly with the popularity of early voting this year. While we’ve previously discussed voting device insecurities, it appears like the issues haven’t been fixed, as well as in some cases, it’s escalated. Voters in states like West Virginia as well as Tennessee have complained about voting machines “flipping” their votes, even after they were recalibrated as in the video above. Voters have been recommended to prevent voting directly Republican or democratic tickets, to prevent the probability of their votes being flipped. What if you really do want to vote a directly ticket? video the vote is an organization that advises documenting as much of your voting process as possible. other methods you can safeguard your vote include voting absentee to ensure that a paper path is available, as well as refusing to accept provisional ballots, which are frequently thrown out. After seeing videos of ROM swapping as well as discovering out that the locks can be opened with hotel minibar keys, we’re waiting to see what’s going to stop working this year… as well as voting absentee.
