President Trump on Thursday spread new baseless claims about Dominion Voting Systems, which makes software that local governments around the nation use to help run their elections, fueling a conspiracy theory that Dominion \u201csoftware glitches<\/a>\u201d changed vote tallies in Michigan and Georgia last week.<\/p>\n

The Dominion software was used in only two of the five counties that had problems in Michigan and Georgia, and in every instance there was a detailed explanation for what had happened. In all of the cases, software did not affect the vote counts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One of the areas that had me worried was the age of the machines, but, at least in Georgia, it appears that concern has been addressed:<\/p>\n

Georgia spent $107 million on 30,000 of the company\u2019s machines last year. In some cases, they\u00a0proved to be headaches<\/a>\u00a0in the state\u2019s primary elections in June, though officials largely attributed the problems to a lack of training for election workers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So now I’m both relieved and a little saddened that there almost certainly won’t be a little bump for Mr. Ossoff in Georgia Senate Race A over the 50% barrier.<\/p>\n

A little drama lost, a little technical assurance gained. I’m such a bad engineer sometimes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
