I don't have a clue. Maybe Vosilla or RW can shed some light. Don't get it.

It's controlled by the Legislature (and the Governor) and 67 Supervisors of Election. After 2000 they had to get standardized machines, and they overspent with inadequate standards for testing the software and hardware, and to make it hacker proof and provide an audit trail. They could sub-total everything periodically and put out an alert when any sub-total of any machine is lower than a prior sub-total. The end of voting day report by machine could show the individual sub-totals (say, hourly). It's all done in the dark. They know they don't work right but they have no money or haven't appropriated money to replace them. They could copy what Oregon or some other state has done. Marco Rubio was there when it happened. The minimum software specs could be written nationwide, so you could vote by mail and then vote in person and your later vote would void the earlier one. Because the standards and tests are not transparent, there are going to be lawyers from both sides watching every process of counting.
