So I've been kicking around a lot of ideas about electronic voting machines. It's been confirmed that there have been problems this cycle with the Dominion voting software and possibly other software. From the "glitch" in Michigan (excuse me "human error") that flipped votes to Biden to "Sharpie gate" in Arizona.

Even stories "debunking" the "glitch" admit that votes got flipped but calling it "human error."

Newsflah. Every time a computer doesn't do what it is supposed to it's human error. Programmers are human after all. The "human error" with the Michigan voting machines is supposed to be an update that wasn't done. But....why should voting software need an update and what kind of update would flip votes?
This is NOT a partisan issue as Democrats were concerned about e-Voting in 2004.

But now that it's Trump winning the roles are reversed and republicans are concerned about the electronic voting machines.
Anyway, I want a clean thread to put information about this single issue. Please don't put unrelated issues in here like late submitted mail in votes UNLESS they are also connected to an electronic voting machine problem. (Reports of ballots being run through twice are relevant as that is something a well designed voting machine should be able to fix). And spare me the "Well the problem isn't big enough to flip the election" arguments! ONE wrongly cast vote because of computer hardware / software s too many. And that argument smacks of circular reasoning. "Don't look for voting problems until there are enough voting problems to overturn the election."
By the way, anyone who has any doubt that voter fraud has happened at least to some degree should watch this video.
Ultimately all voting software needs to be required to be open source. And images from all elections should be available online. It should be possible for anyone to participate in a hand recount from their home.
