4. We will say the same thing about them we're saying now:
They're easily hackable, insecure, made to steal elections and not count votes, run on secret, proprietarial software that even the elections officials can't look at. They're almost never audited to see if they are counting accurately. They're programmed by extreme right-wing partisans. Elections where they're used are almost always suspect and frequently way beyond the margin of error when compared with the results of exit polls and pre-election polls. There are beaucoup whistleblowers and computer scientists who are screaming about their insecurity and hackability. They've been shown in numerous tests and demonstrations to be easily hackable.

The results of any one election have nothing to do with the facts that we're complaining about.

You can't have a democracy when votes are counted this way. Not possible.
