Machine Voter Fraud

I am not claiming machine voting fraud exists.  I am only making a case for how easy it is.  Let's do it by the numbers.
1. Remember Volkswagen' scam of programming their devices to show incorrect and legal emissions when in testing mode, but otherwise allowed (honest) higher gas consumption.  VW was caught only by accident - you will recall. This was deep and secretive programming.

2. Is it possible that voting machines have a similar type of deep programming, but in reverse.  They work perfectly in test mode; they bias votes under field conditions.  There are a couple of easy alternative methods to mask the difference between test and actual modes, particularly if there is no test mode.


3. It is painfully easy, if you control the machines and software development. Moreover, it is nearly impossible to detect.  Calibration has nothing to do with this. The election commissions could re-image the machines after every vote. But the scam is retained.  It is sort of like trying to eliminate a Trojan horse (type of  computer virus) by rebooting the computer.  It doesn't work.  My goodness, I could write such a code in FORTRAN, in C, even in Basic.

4. Certainly election officials are not equipped to detect this type of fraud.  Certifying agencies for voting machines also cannot.  New tests need to be created.  Certainly, printing paper ballots from the machine might help, but programming obviates this, as well.   Cute.

5. I am not trying to sound alarmist, but am simply conjecturing what I can conceive of. If I can, others can.  The stakes in modern elections are so high, and there has been such a decline in individual and group morality, that many operatives would not hesitate to do this - if only they knew how.  Some do!

6. Somebody ought to check this out.

Human Simulation is Possible - by Humans

  Human Simulation: Agent-Based Modeling and the Computational Case for Our Reality   1.       Introduction In the essay, we introduce the notion that humanity could be a deliberate simulation based on an extremely simple single-celled organism, hardly anything more complex than that. This will allow an (apparently) new interpretation of the notion that humanity is simulated, but that there is no master engineer at a massive number of dials and switches, responsible for every twist and turn of our universe and lives. We begin with the notion that the universe exists and operates under its own laws. So, given the Earth [2] , when and where life first began, it was infused with a living agent, self-actualized, reproductive, and with other basic rules for its operations, interactions, and much of what single-celled organisms do today. The idea from this occurred some years back when writing code in ActionScript (formerly Flash), I was able to create...

The Calculus of Ideas and Patterns

  Introduction. When dealing with ideas, patterns, intuition, and brainstorming, we need operations or rules not unlike those of arithmetic. The goal is not proof, a finished device, or a fait accompli , but rather a foundation for further investigation and study. In some cases, these operations may yield a proposition, that is, something capable of being proved. In this sense, they form a practical logic of intuition. The article concludes with a few select examples from a variety of venues. Setting. We are working with a given idea, problem, or project, or simply just thinking. Our aim is to discover pathways, patterns, or conceptual connections that may be useful. The following operations describe ways in which ideas and patterns can be generated, transformed, or refined. These also work toward understanding the imagination. Yet, this framework is distinguished from formal logic and proof. We are tempted to call them as “soft logic” because while nothing is proved, reasons...

Freedom of Speech

  Think of freedom of speech as a living organism. Then think of what is required for it to survive. Coming to mind are a population agreeable to its constitution (its environment) and the institutions (its nutrients) that keep it healthy. Currently, many institutions, including some political parties, question unfettered freedom of speech and are working to deny it, claiming it is unhealthy for the body politic. Yes? No?
