Trump is doing exactly what needs to be done, warning the people of the potential of voter fraud.
That said, I don’t think that him talking about it is going to keep them from trying it.
The American electorate has turned deeply skeptical about the integrity of the nation’s election apparatus, with 41 percent of voters saying November’s election could be “stolen” from Donald Trump due to widespread voter fraud.
The new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll — conducted among 1,999 registered voters Oct. 13 through Oct. 15 — shows that Trump’s repeated warnings about a “rigged” election are having effect: 73 percent of Republicans think the election could be swiped from him. Just 17 percent of Democrats agree with the prospect of massive fraud at the ballot box.
The public sentiment is beginning to reflect Trump’s campaign message. Over the last week, the GOP nominee has intensified his criticism of the U.S. electoral system, much to the chagrin of elected Republicans, who think it threatens the peaceful transfer of power. Trump calls the process rigged, and has said the media is colluding with Hillary Clinton to throw the presidential race in her favor.
Trump’s comments casting doubt upon the process have drawn a gentle rebuke from House Speaker Paul Ryan, whose spokesperson put out what would ordinarily be an unremarkable statement on Saturday: “Our democracy relies on confidence in election results, and the speaker is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity.”
“Just trust us.”
Nevermind that Ryan himself is openly and aggressively pushing for a Trump loss.
But voters generally approve of Trump’s rhetoric. Nearly 60 percent of those polled said it’s necessary to raise questions about the accuracy of the election results, because the election could be compromised by voter fraud or a foreign government. Specifically, 70 percent of Republicans polled say it’s necessary.
Voters are generally confident, however, that their vote will be counted. Eighty percent of registered voters say they are very or somewhat confident their own vote will be counted in November. Thirty percent of those same voters expressed skepticism that votes will be counted across the country.
“The results show that voters are increasingly losing confidence that votes around the country will be counted accurately on Election Day,” said Kyle Dropp, cofounder and chief research officer at Morning Consult. “The sentiment especially rings true among Trump’s supporters, with half expressing concern about a ‘rigged election.'”
The problem is that with the electronic voting machines, fraud is so easy.
In 2006, an award-winning documentary film entitled “Hacking Democracy” documented the ease with which this could be done.
Also in 2006, Princeton did a study on the standard Diebold machine used and proved that fraud is extremely easy.
Here’s the abstract:
This paper presents a fully independent security study of a Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine, including its hardware and software. We obtained the machine from a private party. Analysis of the machine, in light of real election procedures, shows that it is vulnerable to extremely serious attacks. For example, an attacker who gets physical access to a machine or its removable memory card for as little as one minute could install malicious code; malicious code on a machine could steal votes undetectably, modifying all records, logs, and counters to be consistent with the fraudulent vote count it creates. An attacker could also create malicious code that spreads automatically and silently from machine to machine during normal election activities — a voting-machine virus. We have constructed working demonstrations of these attacks in our lab. Mitigating these threats will require changes to the voting machine’s hardware and software and the adoption of more rigorous election procedures.
And a video showing the process:
And this study was based on the possibility of random people hackers changing the outcome with malicious code. The government could very, very easily do this on a massive scale.
And why would they not?
Basically, if Trump loses, it has to be assumed it was due to fraud.
Oh But Russia Might Do It
Pointing to the absolutely unbelievable nerve of these people, the very same shills who are claiming that it would be totally impossible for the US government to rig the election are claiming that Russia could rig the election.
Earlier this month, the New York Times planted this idea:
Attacks on online voter registration rolls could sow chaos at polling places, and the election infrastructure has never truly been tested against a power like Russia. The system that underpins American democracy is not even listed as an element of the nation’s critical infrastructure, a list that includes movie theaters and the Jefferson Memorial, among other monuments.
CNBC interviewed academics and an NSA analyst in a piece pushing the idea that Russian cyber-attacks could change election results:
“It’s not clear whether these attacks could change the integrity of the data,” said Rahul Telang, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who studies the economics of information security and privacy. “The storyline that someone was trying to access these systems is more damaging than any actual damage to the data.”
Most state voting systems still maintain a paper trail and other checks and balances, but it would take only one perceived success to introduce doubt about the process for many Americans. In a September poll by The Washington Post and ABC News, half of Donald Trump’s supporters already aren’t confident that the “votes for president across the country will be accurately counted this year.”
“Russia probably has the ability to hack parts of our election system, but perhaps more importantly, it would be easier to target a particular city and have some success against the integrity or credibility of the election,” said Kenneth Geers, senior research scientist at cybersecurity firm Comodo and a former NSA analyst. “You could even imagine a particular city being targeted so it has all Trump votes or all Clinton votes, and all of a sudden the whole system is in question.”
And back in August, they initially planted the idea by claiming that Russia was already hacking election systems.
Hackers targeted voter registration systems in Illinois and Arizona, and the FBI alerted Arizona officials in June that Russian hackers were behind the assault on the election system in that state.
The bureau told Arizona officials that the threat was “credible” and severe, ranking as “an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10,” said Matt Roberts, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office.
As a result, Secretary of State Michele Reagan shut down the state voter registration system for almost a week.
It turned out that the hackers did not succeed in compromising the state system or even any county system, but rather had managed to steal the user name and password for one Gila County elections official.Nonetheless, the revelation comes amid news that the FBI is investigating suspected foreign hacks of state election computer systems, and earlier this month warned states to be on the alert for intrusions.
That turned out to be completely made-up, but that doesn’t make much difference after they’ve already run it as a top story.
They’ve created a situation where if Trump wins, they can claim it was part of a Russian conspiracy and declare the election invalid. This will cause unrest, which will then give them an excuse to implement more extreme measures of repression.
I don’t want to go full-AJ here and say “THEY’RE GOING TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW!!!!!1111 THEY’RE COMING FOR YOUR GUNSSSSSSS!!!!!!111 GRAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!11”
But actually, an AJ-type scenario is looking like a relatively likely at this point.
But will the police and the military really go to war with the people to defend a government that is at war with them?
These are crazy times, brothers.
Literally anything could happen next.
