Reply #64: There are many internal controls in the banking processes

[SharonAnn]

and some of them are equivalent to precinct totals and county totals, etc.

The point is that there has been a lot of thought in banking about how to prevent people from stealing money and that's why a lot of the internal controls have been put in. Also, the bank processes are audited by the bank, by the state, by the Feds, etc. and they are audited regularly and repeatedly. They even have auditors who audit their IT systems, programs, code, and security.

So, if one were worried about the possibility of someone wanting to steal votes, one would put internal controls in the processes, the equipment, the code, etc. And several different organizations would audit them. There would not be secrets about how everything worked nor would misleading information be accepted.

So, when we get serious about maintaining the integrity of the ballot and the counting of votes, we'll do the same for voting machines.
