That Russian Oligarch money opens so many political doors - it makes treason fashionably Rethug.

(14,157 posts)The ballots are sealed the eve of the election and never audited to protect from outside hacking of final results.

THE PROBLEM - (Wisconsin electronic voting machines - DRE with paper but never spot audited, backup paper ballot sealed away, then placed in storage, then 2 months later destroyed.)
Theres no reason for the biggest hole in Wisconsin election security. We have paper ballots. And local officials have up to two weeks after each election to review (canvass) them to make sure the results are correct before they declare the official winners (certify).
But they dont. Wisconsin election clerks seal our paper ballots in bags on Election Night. During the canvass, they look only at the voting machines printed totals and say, Look who won! Then they certify. They swear the winners into office. Twenty-two months later, they destroy the ballots.
Perpetually sealed paper ballots do not deter hackers; they protect them.
About half the states require officials to do at least a little auditing of the Election-Day results before they certify. But in Wisconsin, state law merely allows, but does not require, accuracy checks.
So why dont the local clerks choose to check? If they have a choice, why do they risk signing a statement that swears theyve reviewed the results and found them to be correct--when they havent done that?

Their stores of knowledge are worse than two bags of rocks.
