#11  Why the fook do we need computers to perform a simple counting function?

This is no more complicated than a turnstile. Why do we need software and internet-connected network computing to count heads?

#10  The number 4,294,967,295, equivalent to the hexadecimal value FFFF,FFFF16, is the maximum value for a 32-bit unsigned integer in computing
Why would you use any other variable to count votes in a computer program? All you are doing is "IF (Yes Vote) increment counter".

#9  Problem for Dominion and the DNC is that 'race based voting' didn't work enough so they had to resort to good-ole ballot box stuffing early in the morning...

#8  Another oddity is that Dominion uses floating point numbers for their vote totals. Votes are things you count. For countable things, a programmer normally uses integer numbers.

Floating point numbers (numbers with a decimal point) are used when you need to do math - stuff like "Compute 0.02 times ThisTotal. Subtract it from ThisTotal and add it to ThatTotal." I believe Dominion calls this feature "race-based voting". Imagining why an honest voting machine has this ability is left as an exercise for the reader.

#7  Has anyone at Dominion or wherever these come from provided an explanation? You don't get no steenkin es-planation, and you'll like it!

#6  But the citizens of this nation whose votes were nullified by fraud lack standing to bring a lawsuit.

#5  If the voting machines are networked together, you only need one.

But why hide it with a cellular connection over a wired one?

#4  Does seem odd that only some would have modems while others do not. Has anyone at Dominion or wherever these come from provided an explanation?

#3  Why aren't these assholes arrested?
Because those in power do not want them arrested.
