Yeah, I know this sounds goofy, but do we really need polling stations hooked up to the net?

Yes, it does sound goofy; for example, it keeps referring to the COVID pandemic as a "manufactured crisis."

Have to separate "voting machines" from "polling stations." I take the term "polling station" to mean the physical room or building used to facilitate voting. Often times that room or building is part of a school, a public building (e.g., public library), a place of worship, or even someone's garage or basement. I really cannot fault these places for having Internet connections. But "voting machines," those have little to no reason to connect to any public network. Voting machines and a monitoring/diagnostic computer in the same polling station may connect among themselves that then forms a closed local network, that is probably okay, but keep that separate and isolated from other networks.

it was very generous of the federal government to allow the house to turn over last year. They must have done that to maintain plausible deniability.

Probably explains the lack of a veto-proof Senate all these years as well
