High speed mobile app vs. abacus, stubby pencil, fingers, toes, anything. With all the vulnerabilities I certainly wouldn't stake something as important as an election on anything on line or in the air. Maybe give them all KY-57s and change the feed daily. Maybe KL-34s or whatever the current tech is. Even encrypted phones. My pick would be air-gapped terminals, print copy, and hand deliver results. Chain of Custody rather than tossing it into cyberspace. USPS ships diamonds through Registered snail mail.

I agree on chain of custody, and have no idea what you mean by any of the rest. It would seem to me TEN guys with a pencil and scratch paper could have sorted all this out by now if he were given all the raw data. There are less than 1,800 precincts ten guys working long hours could spend 15 minutes on each. It is addition and a couple of divisions. There has to be some skullduggery here, someplace.

1SG Steven Imerman - Historically, the byzantine process of calculating caucus results in Iowa WAS done via stubby pencil. Few precincts have more than a couple hundred attendees, and they fall into camps for their preferred guy. You basically just have to count which faction is biggest. At issue is once the results came into question, what is normally a clear-cut deal on caucus night turns into a free-for-all because with al the attendees back home to their jobs and lives, all that is left is the precinct captains and the paid staff of the candidates.
It is going to be real froggy down there, especially if there is some form of recount.

CWO3 (Join to see) - Like you, I was first saying a pencil and paper with high scrutiny. The numbers deal with cypto comm and burst technology. Air-gap means a terminal with no link to net or any other terminal, or other means of transmission. USPS reference was about "ain't broke, don't fix it". Later.

Going to get real ugly. The incumbent holds all the cards. Trump has 89% approval with Reps. That's before drawing any more cards. Too many splits in Dems and no guidance from DNC. We'll see but right now it leans to Trump.

CWO3 (Join to see) - A lot depends on who the Dems nominate, but I agree that it would be an uphill battle no matter what.

1SG (Join to see) - Now Hillary is running her pie hole about Sanders. Wonder if it's a tit for tat to Biden. Scratch my back and I'll name you VP, hoping to bring any base she may still have. DNC plot. It will lead to a Dem meltdown if he does. She was stupid to name some guy named Tim from VA, but guess they thought the fix was in. If she'd swallowed her pride and named Sanders it might have worked. Not sure Biden will even finish due to cash. Thanks Jerry. Will
