New by me at BradBlog/BradCast: Elections breach cover-up in rural town with national implications

[Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many]

My attempt at my conventional thoughts and opinions:

- Given we have seen chip manufacturers placing hidden hardware
backdoors in common microcontrollers, it seems like the use of almost
any voting machine would severely undermine the intent of democracy,
unless the contents are presented for full public review.

- The cryptographic software communities have developed working
examples of transparent voting protocols for decades now, in the hopes
of these things being adopted by governments. These are some of the
same groups that have struggled as politics have heaved.

[sorry, i had a couple more items but I've forgotten them. i've only
read a little bit of the article, it's intense, it's great to see]

It's notable that there are a number of different severely important
things here. Many different important and dangerous topics are
involved here at once. This can make it hard to integrate the material
and possibly easier for partisan influences to change the story.
