My state offers early voting as well. So, based upon all this evidence, it seems that the 2024 election will be fair in Georgia.
Yes when you say cycles do you mean four or eight years.I would either agree, partially agree, or disagree with this, but only if you can back this info up with an article.
Yes, election deniers should be prohibited from becoming electors, and purges should purge both sides (as in if the voter passed away, or has not voted in two election cycles), regardless of who the person votes for.
Well, there are mid-terms as well (which happen every two years), so, if we count mid-terms, then every two election cycles (4 years). If we count presidential elections, then every 8 years.
If your sources are correct, then why are hackers at that conference in 2024 still able to hack into the vulnerabilities of those voting machines?Bro, this reminds me of an Onion video, where Florida has a voting machine with 600 levers and buttons. The Onion is a very popular satire news company founded in the great state of Wisconsin, but moved to NYC, NY and then Chicago, IL.
In all seriousness, voting machines have become more secure over the past few years, with advanced encryption technologies that I can not even begin to explain, but AP could explain better, and cybersecurity technicians can do the full rundown.
Quote from AP: "There was 'no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.' This was due to paper records being available for an estimated 93% of all ballots cast [in 2020] and a system of post-election checks to test the accuracy of the electronic tabulators."

Florida's Voting Machine (Duration = 3 min, Age rating = 12+ due to satire)
I am not sure. The AP article that I have used is from 2 years ago, and hackers always seem to hack technology as soon as it comes out. In other words, this is an arms race between voting booth manufacturers and hackers. A paper trail of our votes should always be used, in case a manual recount is required such as after a hack has been made.

Here in GA we have three weeks of early voting plus Saturday voting at least either one or two of those weeks counties can choose to have voting all three Saturdays and even on Sundays, so if you want to aviod the lines you can go early and the lines tend to be shorter or not there at all and if you do have a line you do not want to wait in come back later.

This is a very serious issue and I have to wonder if anyone of y'all are concerned about the security and integrity of the computers and machines used in the voting process.
Why do you think the voting machines are connected to the internet?
Most voting machines use paper ballots which get scanned in by the voter (if they are voting in person) who can then check to see if their choices are recorded properly. The voting machines keep count and the paper ballots provide the audit trail.
Don't both complain.
Whoever told you that is wrong. That is the worst feeling, peeking out the window looking for cops in a dark house, hiding in my closet because I thought I heard noises outside.
Hi Daisy, it is well known and documented that they are connected to the internet, they transmit the results that way.
Yes they are. The votes are tabulated and then they are transmitted via the internet.
That sounds scary, cos what if Russia or some other bad actor intercepts the internet transmission and changes the results? It would be nice if the votes were tabulated, and then the results were printed and delivered by a courier, or transmitted via good old fashioned radio waves (though, someone might try to jam the radio frequency, or broadcast fake results).
These machines should not exist and are not needed, the poling stations are fully manned and secure.
If you stop voting do not complain about whomever gets in office. Way I look at it if you chose not to vote fine, however if you choose not to vote stay quiet for the next 2-6 years ( depending on the office) about who gets in office.
