Can someone explain how the machine can be manipulated to do this, and who may have the expertise? What voting machines are used in Tennessee? This needs to be national news. Mail in paper ballots seem like the most efficient way to cast our votes. No wonder they want everyone to use machines.

NOBODY outside the company knows, bc voting machines have 'proprietary' secret software. It could do literally anything, and there's no easy way to prove anything. There's been multiple suspicious elections, starting w Max Cleland, who was ahead in polls by 5% a week b4 the election, lost by 7%.

My guess is that this sort of thing is user error. In my mind, if the user can see vote flipping happening then it is a really bad hack... Which maybe it is? But, if shenanigans are happening, I would expect them further downstream so the user wouldn't know.
