Voting machines are vulnerable to several different methods of corruption, and Democrats know that. The machines can be programmed to flip votes, create votes, change votes, etc. Machines can be hacked, remotely monitored and manipulated and so forth. However, the evidence of corruption can be erased and that is likely why so many computer images were destroyed after the 2020 election, tabulators or memory cards were damaged or lost, and so forth. A judge had to stop workers in Georgia from erasing 2020 data from the Dominion machines.

After three months of investigation, California's secretary of state has released a report examining why a voting system made by Premier Election Solutions (formerly known as Diebold) lost about 200 ballots in Humboldt County during November's presidential election.
But the most startling information in the state's 13-page report (.pdf) is not why the system lost votes, which Wired.com previously covered in detail, but that some versions of Diebold's vote tabulation system, known as the Global Election Management System (Gems), include a button that allows someone to delete audit logs from the system.
Auditing logs are required under the federal voting-system guidelines, which are used to test and qualify voting systems for use in elections. The logs record changes and other events that occur on voting systems to ensure the integrity of elections and help determine what occurred in a system when something goes wrong.
"Deleting a log is something that you would only do in de-commissioning a system you're no longer using or perhaps in a testing scenario," said Princeton University computer scientist Ed Felten, who has studied voting systems extensively. "But in normal operation, the log should always be kept."
Yet the Diebold system in Humboldt County, which uses version 1.18.19 of Gems, has a button labeled Clear, that "permits deletion of certain audit logs that contain — or should contain — records that would be essential to reconstruct operator actions during the vote-tallying process," according to the California report.

These Sequoia machines were owned by Smartmatic which had direct ties to George Soros and his voting machine theft of the 2006 election in Venezuela. These machines had a button on the back that could illegally add votes to the total without counting legitimate ballots.
Button on e-voting machine allows multiple votes – East Bay Times 11-1-06

Days before the election, state officials have learned that California’s most widely used electronic voting machines feature a button in back that can allow someone to vote multiple times.
Several computer scientists said Wednesday that the vulnerability found in all touch-screen machines sold by Oakland-based Sequoia Voting Systems was not especially great because using the yellow button for vote fraud would require reaching far behind the voting machine twice and triggering two beeps.
“If the machine beeps loudly and someone has their arms wrapped around the machine, the poll workers are going to become suspicious,” said David Wagner, a computer security and voting system expert at the University of California, Berkeley.
“It’s kind of hard for me to see how this could be used very widely,” he said. “It’s retail fraud, so it’s onesies and twosies and can only affect very close races.”
