BREAKING: Someone just hacked a voting machine within seconds live on PBD's podcast. He only used a preprogrammed USB stick that gave him total access to do whatever he wanted, including flipping or creating votes out of thin air

"If this would have been an election, I could have gone to the database and for example change the votes."

PBD: "How much of it could you have changed?"

"Anything, add new candidate who was not even on a ballot, it doesn't matter, because if you have total control over the system, you can do anything you want."

This was such a wild moment. It's like when Professor J. Alex Halderman used a pen to hack a Dominion machine in front of a federal judge a few months ago. I pray for the day when we will finally ditch these machines and start hand-counting all our votes like a serious country.
