The disparity between exit polls and vote totals in 2004, favoring Bush over Kerry every time, largely came down to states using optical scanners for paper ballots.

You can rig the scanners, obviously. Although at least there's a paper trail that can be audited (none of them were because Democrats are pushovers that like losing).

I think it is possible to electronically tally votes, but only if people are okay with ditching anonymity. You could have a public database of people's votes, and then at least everyone could audit their own vote to see if it was changed.

it looks like they've never flipped a coin before

He's looking at the bottom of the coin and checking which side he wants, then thinking "Okay how can I slap this so it ends up for Pete" He's just really awkward and bad at it.

When flipping a coin, you need to just let it fall, holy lol they're blatant about this poo poo.

a little foreshadowing


if there's anything I learned by being in academia too long and going to middling schools while still feeling a good amount of imposter syndrome on a day-to-day basis it's that most of the ivy league people are really as stupid as you think and their perceived intelligence rides entirely on the prestige of their institution. If you want to, you can get a world-class education from these places by virtue of having access to some very knowledgeable and deep thinkers and having access to a dizzying amount of resources, but here's the thing: most people who go there don't give a poo poo.

Quoting from page 194 to say this is 100% accurate. All these knuckledragging smoothbrain shitlords at Harvard, Yale, MIT, they're all dumb as gently caress on average. Look at the GPAs coming out of these institutions, then go ask their 4.0 graduates anything about their major and you'll find that they know less than your typical state school 3.0 graduates.

Worthless.

here's a scene from a documentary alleging fuckery in the 2004 elections demonstrating hacking an optical scanner by only touching the memory card

Yeah, this needs to be explicitly part of any rules because it's pretty simple for someone who has practiced a little to get the result they want if they're doing the catch-and-slap-on-hand thing, as long as the coin has texture like a quarter or something. Basic bar trick.

Obviously that takes someone who has flipped a coin before, unlike the guy in the video.

it's a remarkably stupid plan. the results will be published by precinct and I, for example, know exactly how many people were in my precinct and how many votes Bernie and Warren got and I'm not even working for a particular campaign.

yeah the advantage of going to a shittier school is you aren't going there to get access to networks of power so you may as well get an education

His pause might be him trying to feel the coin to determine the side but he's not very good at it. Like he just read about it on the internet the night before.
