You’re right, there is nothing he could do that would change the mind of the “true believers”. He echoes their delusions and reinforces their prejudices, so he must be telling the truth and the media is lying about him.

It doesn’t matter what Trump does, though. His supporters will support him up until the day he suddenly turns into a black man. Especially if the tape of him saying the N-word comes out.

Bryan, there are many reasons I don’t live in Florida. The one you list is one of them.

It was like the early days of micros, Badtux, everyone assumed they needed to have one, but didn’t know why. They would get upset when you told them that they were better off without one at their business, but there were some good programs for their kids.

Remember the machines are in enclosures designed to prevent others from seeing what you are doing, Hipparchia.

I experienced butterfly ballots in San Diego. They were a real PITA, but the lady who operated my polling place made good cookies.

OT: Sorry about your forced relocation, Badtux. In Florida you could have gotten as little as 14 days notice.

It took 10 minutes! They have USB ports on the electronic voting machines! 8 of those minutes were for figuring out how to stick something into the usb port without being seen by the adults in the room :twisted: our county uses paper ballots too (and no they are NOT butterfly ballots).

The lady who ran elections in your county sounds like a very wise lady. Too many people think technology is the solution to all problems. Sometimes it is, other times… not so much.

It took 10 minutes! They have USB ports on the electronic voting machines! Stick in a wireless keyboard/mouse transceiver and sit outside changing votes.

She changed the site that reports the results. You can see the HTML and it’s obvious that it can be hacked. DEF CON was just being nasty making it the hack for the kids. [TBH, some of those ‘kids’ have major skills.]

The lady who ran elections in our county looked at the electronic systems and decided that paper was a better idea because it was easier to deal with and everyone was using the same ballot. She used computers and didn’t trust them as elections occur during hurricane season and you have no guarantee of electricity.

Actual, real Regulation would be a great thing! Here as well as the USA. See this? 11-year-old hacks replica of Florida state website, changes election results I'm not sure whether to laugh or... Yeah, I'm laughing! And then...

If US regulators would just start regulating, we wouldn’t have all of these problems. Trump has been in trouble for years and the people who should have been watching ignored the signs of someone who was bankrupt throwing cash around. The regulators should have been asking where the money came from. He was an easy capture by the Russians who added great value when he entered politics. He has probably been the biggest money launderer the oligarchs have ever used, because urban real estate is the “Maytag” of money laundries.

Trump’s EPA has been giving the “Trump Seal of Approval” to anything and everything industry wants to use or mine, no matter how toxic.

Oh! Have you seen this? I am PMSL! Talk about a red flag to a bull (Mueller) & stabbing your friend in the back. Russians are master's at this. And der Don has NO idea just how screwed he is! What a moron. Russian Asbestos Giant Praises Trump Administration Actions to Keep Deadly Carcinogen Legal

I missed this! 🙁

Yep! Agree 100% Bryan. I can hear my old Soviet *friends* from the 80’s laughing with a great deal of mirth (and not just a little Vodka!) And we know (well, I do & suspect you do also) this isn’t their first try with the USA! We’ve discussed USSR/Russia quite a bit over the past decade (time does fly!)
