So no when someone asked me was the election secure even with all of this no it was not.
The only thing that may help is a machine to recount the water mark to the router network so on.
However this still could be messed with.
So the reality is I just have an answer no one thought of likely except maybe the ones that allow it to exist in order to check the water marks.
So you ask me was it secure… no but was their a fail safe in place yes. Could this still could have been exploited yes. Especially if mult of of ballets that where left unused. Machines can still print and edit and then the water mark means shit?
So who is right and who is wrong?
