Eric Coomer, former Dominion Voting Systems Vice President of Product Strategy, made the mistake of suing for defamation. It has come out that in the months leading up to the Presidential election he made rabidly anti-Trump Facebook posts. He then deleted all of his Facebook posts in November after the election. That a man this high up in Dominion had such bias that he made public adds to the image of Dominion as a fairly shady outfit. That so many states have used their electronic systems for voting is simple madness, at least for members of the Republican party.
As pointed out in a podcast I’m emailing you, Don – funny how the Democrats made all the exact same accusations against Dominion systems for a few years now and none of THEM ever got sued…
Hard to believe a company is bipartisan when they only bother fighting one side.
We’re in this soup because of the assumption of management types that more is better in the realm of technology (just as they assume that utter banality is better in the realm of commercial architecture). We do not need information technology to tabluate votes. The first article I can recall by a computer science professor critiquing the practice was published in 2006. Neither he nor anyone else had any effect on politicians or officialdom. We don’t need promiscuous use of postal balloting, either. It would have been quite simple to move elections to Friday evening, Saturday morning, and Saturday afternoon if you’re concerned about turnout, set up more voting precincts if you’re concerned about lines (New York used to have 1 precinct for every 1,000 residents; Georgia has one for every 6,000 residents and long lines). We could also simplify the electoral calendar. We could do all these simple things, but our politicians institute information technology and mass use of postal balloting which solves no problems and generates a half dozen others.
