    Why does the wifi sniffer need to fly? Couldn’t you just walk up to the polling place carrying a wifi sniffer?

    Ok, bear with me on this one: What if… what if the voting machines use Ethernet connections and not Wifi? 🤯😱

      He’s not even consistently good at that. I got one as a gift and it was really uncomfortable.

    Here’s a fucking simple solution: use paper vote. It’s difficult to fraud at scale.

      It’s not about the voting method. These people want to invalidate votes they don’t like. Arizona Republicans went on a wild goose chase of looking for bamboo fibers in printed ballots which would “prove” they were printed in China.

        From what I know about American politics I can believe their motive is to invalidate votes they don’t like instead of actually preventing election fraud.

        My suggestion of paper voting is a tongue-in-cheek recommendation for them to prevent election fraud because it would prevent them from being the ones to do it (at scale).

    Well, what if I told you there was a device that’s been made for the first time in history that can tell you that that machine was online?

    I’d say you were a time traveler from the 70s?
