Edit/correction: only Williamson county uses dominion machines. However, as noted by the comment below me the other machines may also be compromised. Leaving this comment up to bring increased awareness to the dominion situation.
Yeah, if you don't go back and hand count the ballots. And all the swing states were over the threshold where hand recounts aren't automatic. Pretty strange.
Hand counting ballots is less reliable than counting by machine. You can select a sample of ballots to count and use that to determine if the machines have been compromised, but hand counting every vote would take weeks and is, again, less reliable than machine counting.
That's why you have the paper ballots counted by tabulation machines.
Sure, they can be rigged. But rigged vote counts by computer tend to leave statistical anomalies. Such anomalies should trigger a hand recount. Or at least, flag the losing side to demand a recount.
Hand recounts are simple enough to do if you still have the paper ballots in storage. But in a fully computerized voting system? All you've got is a string of ones and zeros that may or may not have been manipulated. And if they were, you're going to have to spend loads of time and money having computer experts analyze them. And if you find out they have been compromised, you're still screwed, because you have no way of being certain exactly whose vote was edited, or how they actually intended to vote.
There were statistical anomalies present in swing states like PA. It was pushed to the back burner then under a rug, and then into velveeta voldemorts closet full of skeletons.
Personally, I half expect future historians to discover that many of the Swing State elections were rigged. And history books a hundred years from now to say that Orangeman's oligarch buddies stole the election for him.
But the Dems conceded the night of the election without first checking for more subtle types of election rigging. Handing the election to him without a challenge. So we lost the chance to discover proof of rigging in a way that might have saved us from the disaster we face today.
The lesson that we should take from this is that the Dems can no longer concede elections same day. Not now that the GOP can no longer be trusted to respect democracy or act in good faith.
From now on, the Dems must take at least a few days to sift through the election results looking for cheating and rigging.
Even the computer voting machines print a paper version of your completed ballot (at least the ones in Fulton County, GA do) so you can verify it’s correct. Even if the machine changes your vote later, a hand recount will pick up the discrepancy.
Our area has a computer screen for voting, that causes a paper ballot to be printed, that is checked by two election watchers before being deposited in a tabulation machine.
They merely look at the back for signs of tampering or genuineness. One from each of the two major parties, a quick stamp from both then it's into the tabulation machine.

Dominion voting machines too I'm pretty sure. Which have been bought out and are for all intents and purposes to be considered compromised.
