> I think the key issue is that these machines are internet or network connected. If we're really concerned about this - get rid of the network connectivity.

They (generally) aren't.

(Almost) every demo of voting machine hacking involves physical access to the machine, tools, and keys/lockpicks.

Psalms 119:

I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

Versus the NIV's

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word.

Would be a good candidate

Nearly every demonstration of voting machine hacking has required unrestricted physical access to the machine and tools/keys.

Paper ballot boxes are just as hackable at scale with those requirements.

Who's politicized the rape charges other than Assange himself continuously calling them a government conspiracy against him?

The Swedish government doesn't discuss them (which is what's allowed Assange's version of events to get so popular). The US hasn't mentioned it. The UK gave him a fair trial based on them.

He'd tried to get her to have sex without a condom all night. She continually rejected it. He (allegedly) knew fully that she did not consent to unprotected sex and waited for her to fall asleep to do it.

The prosecutor dropped the case because the alleged rape victim didn't want to press charges, because she was overwhelmed in the immediate aftermath. Then she hired a lawyer to advocate for her who got the charges re-opened.

The other woman, who alleged lesser offenses, never dropped charges, though the statute of limitations have since expired on them.

Assange was told early on in the investigation that he was not restricted from traveling, but as the investigation developed further and it became clear they wanted to prosecute him, he went missing.

After multiple failed attempts to schedule another police interview, the prosecutor told his attorney she'd be filing an arrest warrant that day. Five hours later, Assange arrived at the airport and bought the next available ticket to Berlin.

Assange claims that's just a coincidence. That he was avoiding contact with his lawyer because he was afraid of "threatening statements made by politicians in the U.S"

> claiming his condom fell off and he didn't stop having sex with them.

One woman claims he intentionally tore a condom. That was a lesser charge whose statute of limitations expired a while ago.

The other claims that, after insisting reportedly they use a condom, he waited for her to fall asleep and then started having unprotected see with her -- something he knew she would not consent to. That's the rape charge.

> Then a couple months later, based on no additional information, they reopened the investigation.

The alleged rape victim was initially overwhelmed (not uncommon for a rape victim) and didn't want to press charges. A few days (not months) later, she hired an attorney to represent her who got the case reopened.

Almost all the information the public knows about the case has come directly from Assange (and thus supports his conspiracy theory explanation), since the Swedish protecting authority doesn't comment on pending cases.
