I thought it was a flood? Funny, I don’t remember that.

I will say that I generally see small holes as big design failure. I think that comes from training as a CPA (where internal control is an actual topic) combined with designing systems to run in an audited environment. You quickly conclude security holes are never acceptable because you don’t known how or how frequently they will be exploited.

So, I don’t look at it as, “That’s a small hole. No big deal.” That would be a systemic failure. Just as an example, in auditing, a petty cash fund may only contain $100 which is entirely immaterial, but you wouldn’t just ignore a shortage there as it indicates a problem on numerous levels.

I honestly think these voting systems could benefit from serious internal control reviews. They’d look like hell if they did. These systems are designed to fail without detection.

If holes are present, I would probably be complaining. But the theft I just witnessed is unconscionable. It isn’t about simple controls. It is theft from the top.

November 3 was as if Jeff Bezos suddenly set out to steal money from Amazon. The people in charge can do whatever the hell they want to. That’s what happened in PA, MI and GA. It was sickening.
