A Footprint in the Data

It is only possible when you cheat. It can be built into the software and front loaded into the machines before the polls even open. Or it can be done in real time by accessing the servers.

Speaking as a computer scientist...

Note also that the numbers you referenced aren't all just 64-35, they're all 64.6 + or - 0.2, and 35.4 + or - 0.2. That's even more unlikely.

This is what happens when you don't pay attention in math class. Likely some corrupt programmer…

… put in a random factor that he thought would alter the numbers, without making it look like it altered the numbers. Like (brain-dead example) "If this ballot was for the opponent, and the random number generator is greater than 0.6, then change it.". But he didn't bother to do the math, or he would have realized that if you use whatever that random element is, over enough cases, then the result converges on 64.6 and 35.4.

At least if I was going to vet the program that did this, then that's what I'd most expect to find. This is a typical undergrad mistake. Just because your algorithm has a randomizing element, that doesn't mean that the result isn't going to converge, over a large enough number of trials.

Also note that this kind of manipulation almost always leaves a footprint in the data. Statisticians who specialize in analyzing voting results know what properties honest results should have. Unless the corrupt programmer really knew what he was doing, they'll spot the strange results, and the nature of the strangeness will give them a strong clue as to what the programmer did.

Look at California. Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, Treasurer, Attorney General… every one of them landing on the exact same percentages, 64 to 35, like somebody typed a formula and hit enter, and Lara Logan just said out loud what half of you already know in your gut… it is only possible when you cheat.

Here is the reality. It can be built into the software and front loaded into the machines before the polls even open, or it can be done in real time by accessing the servers, and once you understand that you stop pretending this is about yard signs and turnout and start asking how a free people still hand their republic over to a black box nobody is allowed to audit. How is this even a thing and why are we still dealing with this after everything we have watched for six years?

I have said it until I am blue in the face and the cool kids club still wants you to argue about messaging while the machines and the mail and the servers do what they were built to do. You cannot outvote a system that was designed to swallow your vote and spit out a predetermined number, and when the statewide races all print the same split you are not looking at democracy… you are looking at an algorithm wearing a flag pin.

Make no mistake, they gaslight you every cycle, they tell you there is no evidence while the evidence is sitting in plain sight on your screen, and then they dare you to be the crazy one for noticing. Think I am wrong? Show me a real election that prints identical percentages across every major office like a spreadsheet formula and I will shut up. Until then stop letting them call you a conspiracy theorist for reading the board.

And yet they want you quiet about it, they want you to move on, they want you to blame the candidate or the turnout or the weather while the same rotted machine runs the same play in every state that still trusts a vendor nobody elected. I am angry, and most of you are not angry enough.

President Trump … the machines, the software, the servers, the people who protect them… work the problem or they finish the job on the next one. The people are done waiting for another press conference.
