Oh dear God. Please tell me Palin isn't also in the running for top pick as secretary of the interior?

Even if you think Trump isn't terrible, the people around him are total shitbags. He's going to be around the worst advisers who he'll listen to since he doesn't have a clue what he's doing. Nope, not giving Trump "a chance".

I don't think the election was stolen by hacking or something, but it'd be real nice for the legitimacy of our democracy if we enforced even basic cybersecurity controls on our voting machines, IMO

oddly enough, i (mostly) agree with you. i do think that republicans would be willing to hack machines to push elections their way. i mean they're already trying to reverse legitimate election results in public, why wouldn't they be in for a little vote fuckery?

Michigan has all-paper ballots so that would be quite a trick for Putin to pull off.

Optically scanned ballots are sent to a tabulation server typically run by the county elections office. In the case of Diebold (such as those used in the state of Georgia) this server is likely still running Windows 2003 and the tabulated ballots are stored in Microsoft Access. It's theoretically secure so long as it's never connected to the Internet and no unauthorized storage media are connected to the server but there's a lot of counties out there to violate such a policy.

I don't think that this will plausibly change the results of the election but from a technical perspective this is well within the capabilities of a nation state given ANY failures to maintain security policy by ANY county elections officials.

Then when you dig through wikipedia you find out that apparently she began to believe she was the reincarnation of hitler after suffering a brain aneurysm. And, like everything else this election, once you see people as a cause and effect of their circumstances everything just keeps getting more depressing. All is vanity indeed.

Let this be our final battle!
On the subject of voter fraud, I stumbled across this article the other day and I wanted to know what the goon hive mind thought of it.

"Greg Palast posted:

So, voting rights attorney Robert Fitrakis was thrilled to learn that many of Ohio’s voting machines would, for this election, have a brand-new anti-hacking capability. The computers could now take a photo of every voter card loaded in, time stamp each marking, and keep the images in an order that allows an audit and recount.

But there’s one thing wrong with the new tamper-proof voting machines. “They’ve decided to TURN OFF the security.”

What? In 2004, Ohio’s “push-and-pray” machines produced suspect tallies that won President George W. Bush’s re-election victory over Sen. John Kerry — although Kerry had a comfortable lead in exit polls. And in this year’s contest, the FBI has raised fears of fiddling these machines by Russian hackers.

Yet, the Republican Secretary of State of Ohio, Jon Husted, is allowing county officials to simply turn off these security functions — with no explanation as to why.

I'm not familiar with Greg Palast and I have no idea how trustworthy his reporting is, but this seems really sketchy if it is indeed true, especially given the questions surrounding the 2004 Ohio election results.

Palast is a firebrand "New Deal was good but didn't go far enough" leftie who spent the last 15 years chronicling the downfall of the middle class, and of the kind that really dislikes how Obama made the Dems complacent and pro-war. Think Michael Moore, only more overtly aggressive.

He can be a little conspiratorial and tin-foil hat at times but he puts out legit stuff, yeah. Even if they come across as trying to be Hunter S. Thompson a little too hard. His book on vulture capitalism is a good one.
