NYT yesterday:
"Mueller Hearings Present Make-or-Break Moment"<p>NYT today: TFA. We wondered what they were going to do in response to the dud that the hearings turned out to be. That confused old man learned more about his report than we did! MFW it seems possible they might actually talk about real problems rather than fairy tales...<p>People of good faith have been warning of the flaws in election infrastructure since long before Obama made his "of course the elections can't be rigged" comments [0]. There are lots of flaws with voting machines: closed source, no tangible verifiable records, confusing for voters, etc. There are lots of flaws with voting in general: voters removed for specious reasons, greater inconvenience for poor voters, one-party-two-heads, etc.<p>Actually now that I hear it again, what Obama had to say makes a lot of sense to me... how do the anonymous-yet-somehow-official sources account for this? Sure, someone could cheat in a small number of precincts, but if they try to affect a national election using a small number of precincts they're definitely going to inspire recounts. It's too bad that Congress won't pass Tulsi's bill that would require recountable paper records...<p>[0] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcjaO2953os" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcjaO2953os</a>
