| [TRENDINGPOLITICSNEWS] Another contentious election, another voting machine controversy. As reported by local Fox affiliate WLUK, a voting machine in Green Bay broke down and needed to be replaced during Tuesday’s election. "City clerk Celestine Jeffreys said the machine at the Green Bay Botanical Garden wasn’t working," WLUK reported. "Backup machines also did not work." The city had to borrow a voting machine from Brown County. "Those machines had been serviced, so we have to take a much more close look after this election as to whether or not we need to purchase new machines and exactly how we can ensure that that doesn’t happen again," Jeffreys said. "It’s the same problem we’ve been having at that ward for a couple of different election cycles." Jeffreys said more than 7,000 absentee ballots had been returned to the city as of 4 p.m. About 30% of the city’s ballots are cast absentee, she added. According to Wisconsin Right Now, Brown County, where Green Bay is located, has ES&S ExpressVote voting machines. According to ES&S, "the paper-based ExpressVote Universal Voting System uses touch-screen technology that produces a paper record for tabulation." ES&S, based in Omaha, Nebraska, controls around 50% of the country’s election system market. As reported by election watchdog Pro Publica in 2019, ES&S’ systems has been "plagued by mishaps at the local level." |

| #9 You cannot trust these machines. Even when they are supposedly "certified" the potential for hacking remains. Even if they show you the source code, it means nothing because the object code can be compromised after the source code is printed. This is not paranoia, it's fact. Always remember, these machines are Made in China. Are you seriously willing to believe the CCP didn't put a backdoor in there? You're willing to trust our elections to the commies? You can never know for sure what is happening inside that box. All elections in which these machines are used are suspect. |

| #8 I think when you are asked "What did you do about the abomination of abortion?" on that Greatest Day, the answer they will be looking for won't be "Oh, I carried a sign and voted for a guy who lost by 14 points." |

| #7 The abortion battle continues. For some reason the Catholic Church has left the field like the Russian army in WWI. |

| #6 ^ Voted for by a bunch of box wine aunties way past child killing age and their faggish "male feminist" partners. |

| #5 Very sad to see that a woman whose main platform was killing babies flipped the Wisconsin Supreme Court. My lament for the hundreds or thousands of babies who will be killed in cold blood once she gets her mitts on an abortion case. |

| #4 Paper ballots. They can be verified and recounted as necessary. |

| #3 Folks whose voting place is the Green Bay Botanical Garden are from a fairly upper-middle class area so, in this case, are probably a mixed bag as to who they voted for. |

| #2 One machine crashing on election day, the only day every few years the machine is used is not necessarily a big issue. Alternative view, 'one machine' used for a critical compilation task twice a decade, crashed. That speaks ill for operations and administration, not just architecture and updates. |

| #1 Since Dominion, most people on the right do not trust voting machine companies. On the other hand, ES&S has been heavily attacked by Democrats over the years, which means ES&S may not be partnering with the Democrat's election fraud schemes. One machine crashing on election day, the only day every few years the machine is used is not necessarily a big issue. As the article said a work around was emplemented. |
