Election system safety is rightfully focused on software vulnerabilities and the like. But I still contend it would be easier to just put a backdoor in the system at the manufacturer. No one really seems awfully concerned about that, though.

If I wanted to fuck with voting machines, I wouldn't task a team of hackers to do things. I'd find the most disgruntled, dgaf employee and shove a wad of cash and a thumb drive at them.

Voting machine companies sit in anonymous black-windowed office parks on roads like John Galt Blvd. in cities like Omaha. They're not exactly competing with the Facebooks and Googles over talent.

When I reviewed all the certification reports, there were many remarks in the reports that suggest engineeing best practices are deeply out of date among all manufacturers.

Best practices are either followed or not. there's no out of date. Tests pass or fail, there is no sorta.

This simply isn't true. Best practices evolve and change, and vary from industry to industry.

They change and old ones are no longer best practices. It's an oxymoron to say I'm married after a divorce, even with the disclaimer it's just an out of date marriage. They're distinct, and require being up to date to be best. It's not a done once and done forever deal.

We're having the stupidest argument in the world. I am referring to using erstwhile best practices, much as someone might say "my girlfriend at the time." There is no communication issue, you are simply choosing to pollute my mentions with unproductive pedantry.
