After his speech Thursday in front of the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland, a member said the voting machines used in Tennessee do not have a recorded paper trail and could be hacked in five minutes.
'I don’t think they can be hacked in five minutes, but there is no perfect machine,' he said. 'As long as we have people who want to commit fraud, they are going to find a way to commit it regardless of what kind of machine we have. Machines are not the culprit. People are the culprit'
Hargett said he is not convinced the machines can be hacked in five minutes and the state is moving toward paper receipts that won’t tell how a person voted, only that they voted."
Tennesseans: The bill has already passed your State Senate; it is currently in your State House. You can still contact your own State Representative on bill HB0007.
Nota bene: The website of the Tennessee Legislature is very nice to use.
