Re: Voting machines are never wrong

Pull-lever machines can't be audited. If a machine started off the day with more than zero votes for a candidate and it didn't get detected right away then, there was no way of ever detecting it later.

So fool-proof vote theft, though limited in scope, was possible and undetectable, which is why you never heard about it. All the powers that be had to make sure is that they didn't get greedy - mustn't have more total votes than total voters on a machine. But no position gets votes from all voters.
