Election departments are attempting to move to the ultimate in unverifiable, hackable elections, where a machine generates a barcode of your supposed votes that you can't read. Right now the target is to stop Bernie Sanders in California on Super Tuesday, which is kind of a coup in itself to move the behemoth state to the beginning of the season. Thereal goal is to roll this out across the country, so that elections can be hacked wth greater ease than ever before. The barcode you hand in could say anything.
Bernie Sanders Will Be Stopped by Hackable Barcode Votes in California Super Tuesday
Bernie Sanders Will Be Stopped by Hackable Barcode Votes in California
As Bernie Sanders closes in on being neck-and-neck with purported front-runner Joe Biden, an audacious move by election officials in California swings the pendulum back to more hackable, un-transparent, and unverifiable elections than ever before. The state is implementing a voting system which converts and transmits a voter's choices in the form of a barcode, that the voter cannot read, and which could say anything.
The system is widely criticized by election integrity activists as a giant step backward in honest elections. Los Angeles County has stonewalled election activists' requests for more information on the security of the system, and has not responded to an offer by a computer expert to determine if the system would pass a "hack test."
An iconoclastic candidate who frequently lights into the DNC (the Democratic National Committee), Sanders is now narrowing the gap with the more big-business-friendly Joe Biden. If there were a battleground on which to stop any momentum accumulated by Sanders on March 3rd, Super Tuesday, Los Angeles would be the place.
Elections activists have long called for a universal system of voter hand-marked paper ballots, either counted by hand or run through an optical scanner device that takes and stores a digital image of each ballot.
Why Use QR Codes for Voting?
Los Angeles County, the state's most populous county and crucial to the ambitions of any Democratic Party nominee, has adopted the Smartmatic VSAP "Voting Solutions for All People" ballot marking device voting system, which utilizes a touch-screen machine on which a voter taps his or her choices, similar to a bank ATM machine. The ballot marking device then prints out a barcode on a paper ballot which cannot be deciphered by the voter.
Although the voter's choices are printed on the ballot with the familiar "bubbles" filled in next to candidates' names, it is the barcode, in this case a two-dimensional type of barcode called a QR code, that is read by the vote-counting machine that the printed ballot is inserted into. The QR code is undecipherable to humans and could say anything.
For example, the QR code below reads "Elizabeth Warren." But the QR code below that reads "Ha ha I just stole your vote."
Code reads "Elizabeth Warren"
Code reads "Ha ha I just stole your vote"
