Great article @MAJ Dale, I agree with Mr Oliver on these voting machines, if there's no way of double checking the votes, than these machines need to be scraped, and go back to the old paper ballot.

This still doesn't support Trump's voter fraud claims. At all. Oliver even calls this out:

"In a lengthy Twitter thread Thursday, “Last Week Tonight” addressed “new viewers” of the show who encountered it through conservative users that used a November 2019 segment to push President Trump’s voter fraud claims.
“First: sorry we swear so much! But second: the way people are using that segment is horses—,” the show tweeted. “If you watch our segment through to the end, you’ll notice that we say the biggest vulnerability is if a state uses direct-recording electronic voting machines, or DREs, especially those without a paper trail.”"
"Last Week Tonight” though urged people to watch to the end of the segment, saying that voting machines with the biggest vulnerability are “direct-recording electronic voting machines, or DREs, especially those without a paper trail.” And it continued to note that of the states where the Trump campaign is contesting results, only one state (Nevada) uses DREs, but still has a paper trail. And there’s more."
