So can anyone on this board explain to me how you can hack paper?
Paper mail in ballots, pre filled, allegedly for residents in vacant properties, that were fed into machines after everyone was sent home due to a ruptured pipe (leaky toilet).
That could do it.
Lather, rinse, repeat.

I worked the 2024 election polls so I could see some things for myself.
1) Dominion machines run on android. You can watch it when it boots up. Was surprised it’s not a proprietary operating system, but I don’t know what’s reasonable to expect.
2) There is a real risk in Georgia at the poll pads, where they check ID before handing out cards. The people issuing cards to be placed into the ballot machines don’t have to log into the registration system, so workers just hopped from one poll pad to the next as needed. No way to track which workers granted which ballots. There’s more of a paper trail when someone cashes a check at a bank.
3) Chain of custody is reliant upon trusting the poll manager. At some point a human has to be trusted. I found that to be interesting. Preliminary numbers were printed and posted at the precinct after the machines were shut down.
These are some systemic observations. The poll pads should require logins, IMO, for every user, and while every ballot can remain anonymous for the voter, the grantor of the ballot and the voter receiving it is something that could be tracked for security.

Even paper ballots isn't an "end-all solution", but it's the most honest way forward.
I'm so vehemently opposed to voting machines that if Oklahoma adopted them I'd just refrain from voting altogether. Way too much potential for corruption and frickery.

Voting for our "leaders" is one of the most important functions within our society. It is far more important than any athletic event. Cheating can not be allowed at all. People should be hung at sunrise and removed at sunset when they cheat during an election.
End election cheating now.
End election cheating now.

The only way to drastically reduce election fraud is to make it a capitol offense.

First, I wouldn't trust a guy on twitter who provides no evidence. But second, some voting machines, especially older models do have a wi-fi card that allows for results to be sent out over wi-fi for faster reading. Supposedly these are backed by a firewall and are only used for that purpose.
But lets say that the wi-fi card exists and it's hackable. How would you hack the stack of paper ballots that you have next to the machine?
