When in that process do you change votes from Clinton to Trump?

I'd also commend the State if they are doing their own repairs instead of paying 5x to the vendor to do them.

 

Typically updating the software / ballot details does not involve opening the case. You have a special connector to perform those changes, and you have to turn the machine off and back on again, put in the device access code/password for it to recognize the connection.

That label looks like the same warranty sticker as on your microwave or washing machine. What is the ES&S warranty worth anyway? Nothing probably.

 

Highlights the need for digital watermarking - aka digital verification of the contents - OS and applications. Don't hold you breathe on being able to check that since there is no requirement for that built in to these systems. E.g. you want a supervisor level service at the OS level - to be able to verify that programs executing are the correct ones.

 

I suspect what this shows is that someone opened the box to replace a faulty part - mechanical repair - and they do not have those natty little stickers to put back on again. The most obvious is when the power supply fails - and you put in a new one. These machines are aging now - and that is one of the first parts to fail. Then you have plugs and connectors that fails.

This is early, but just a heads up.
