Or NO machines. All by hand with both R and D poll watchers.
What I find particularly interesting is that Dominion's newest attorney, Michael Steele says swapping votes in a Dominion machine just isn't possible. Of course not.

Yeah, about that... I think he is technically correct, in that the machine alone cannot do anything really... it's the software that performs the functions. So it's probably the truth, but certainly not the WHOLE truth.
He was very clearly parsing his words in the most disingenuous way.
I believe it was Ben Franklin said something to the effect that sometimes half-truths are just big fat lies.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell squashed two bills intended to ensure voting security on Thursday, just one day after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russians were attempting to sabotage the 2020 presidential elections "as we sit here."
McConnell said he wouldn't allow a vote on the bills because they were "so partisan," but, as previously reported, earlier this year McConnell received a slew of donations from four of the top voting machine lobbyists in the country.
"Clearly this request is not a serious effort to make a law. Clearly something so partisan that it only received one single solitary Republican vote in the House is not going to travel through the Senate by unanimous consent," said McConnell on the Senate floor.
At least eight states are on course to use paperless voting equipment, or machines without paper records, as the primary polling place equipment during the 2020 elections, a report published Tuesday by New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice found.
The report said that around 12 percent of Americans, or about 16 million people, will vote on paperless machines in 2020 and will have no paper record of how they voted.
Many of these Americans will vote in the eight states that will use some form of paperless voting in 2020: Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky and New Jersey.
“Experts have longed warned that these machines are a security risk because they do not allow election officials or the public to confirm electronic vote totals,” the report’s authors wrote.

Were those Dominion machines in Antrim County, Michigan?
If they were then Michael Steele would be incorrect. I do understand that the official line is "human error" due to a clerk not updating the software (good way to pass the buck) but this most definitely happened.
Regardless of what ones opinion is on this whole situation, we need to at the very least acknowledge that this can and did happen.

Both sides? It was Democrats that tried to push through a Bill that would protect voters. It was Republicans that squashed that bill, and Republican states that chose to use voting machines that were known to manipulate voters' votes, except New Jersey.

I voting machine in the OP, which changed the voter's choice, a is paperless voting machine machines. Michigan used paper ballots, not paperless voting machines.
I'm not sure the distinction you're trying to make...
