Did Fox News Melt This County's Brain?

More than two years after the 2020 presidential election, the small California community of Shasta County terminated its contract with Dominion Voting Systems. They’re the first county in the state to do so.
Three county supervisors voted to end the contract, despite warnings from the county CEO that it will cost more than $1 million to buy a new voting system and train employees.
Their argument? That you can’t put a price on voter confidence, so the Dominion systems had to go.

It is because the way to understand something is not by evasion, but by responsible exposure and formal education. The older generation have revealed themselves as more naive, in that they hold on to antiquated quasi-religious views they want to protect, have a generally lower level of education with no critical thinking skills, and an unfamiliarity with the complexity of the internet and how to navigate it. Before, when they were warning you, their fear came from knowing they didn't at all understand the internet. Now their fear comes from thinking they do, and thinking they know too much.

"The plain fact is that this bogus Christianity has no more relation to the system of Christ than it has to Aristotle. It is the invention of Paul and his attendant rabble-rousers--a body of men exactly comparable to the corpse of evangelical pastors of today, which is to say, a body devoid of sense and lamentably indifferent to common honesty. The mob, having heard Christ, turned against Him. His theological ideas were too logical and plausible for it, and His ethical ideas were enormously too austere. What it yearned for was the old comfortable balderdash under a new and gaudy name, and that is precisely what Paul offered it. He borrowed from all the wandering dervishes and body-snatchers of Asia Minor, and flavoured the stew with remnants of Greek demonology. The result was a code of doctrines so discordant and so nonsensical that no two men since, examining it at length, have ever agreed upon its precise meaning. Paul remains the arch theologian of the mob. His turgid and witless metaphysics make Christianity bearable to men who would otherwise be repelled by Christ's simple and magnificent reduction of the duties of man to the duties of a gentle-man."

For my grandmas (I was raised by my grandparents) 94th birthday just before the primary Hillary won I got her a Bernie ugly Christmas sweater and she *_loved_* it. She wore it all the time but I’m absolutely positive, without a shadow of a doubt, if I wasn’t over there every other day talking to her about what was going on she would have been sucked into the right wing bubble. There was almost a brawl at her party between me and her niece, nephew, two great nephews my age, and my sisters now husband… all of whom are part of the right wing eco chamber. To paint the picture, I’m 33 and my two cousins are twins a few years older than me. I’m 100% sure neither has ever kissed a girl, dated, played a sport, or broken a bone. When I was 12 they were 16 and they had to go home because one of them told their mom on the other one that he wasn’t wearing a helmet while riding his bike… _at 16 years old._ Now somehow they’re clinging to their guns because they’re ‘real men’ that are ready to defend their country from tyranny. Their mom wouldn’t let them play football or ride their bike without a helmet… but now Fox News convinced them they’re Rambo.

If part of that job includes (according to their judgment) doing away with these machines, they should do so. If there's a 2% chance that the machines can be hacked, it's probably a good idea to get rid of them. That being said, it doesn't mean that any particular election was hacked. Either way, the really important thing is to have a paper record in case of a dispute or a recount.

And you can only do it so often before people start getting suspicious, so you have to reserve it for significant elections, like the presidency and significant state offices when possible (at least a few close elections have to go to the right, or again the people will get suspicious). If you leave little enough evidence of your crimes, useful idiots will jump to your defense left and right.

Each political party is allowed to have its own observer at at every polling station in the country during vote casting (which is always done on paper), and votes are manually counted at the polling station in front of the party observers immediately after voting. The final tally has to be signed by both the election officials AND all of the different party observers to become official. If the party observers refuse to sign then the votes are recounted until everybody is happy. It's not uncommon for counting to take up to 24 hours after the polling station closes, during which time nobody is allowed to enter or leave.
