No this is false. Imagine if tomorrow all GOP poll workers were 'dismissed' due to a technical glitch and lo and behold a democrat one a formerly red district.

No this is false. Imagine if tomorrow all GOP poll workers were 'dismissed' due to a technical glitch and lo and behold a democrat one a formerly red district. Or vice versa.
This opens up the election to unnecessary allegations of fraud.
Unnecessary because of how simple this is to manage.

'The computer said so' does not overturn election rules. This kind of scheduling is not critical, because it happens early enough that you can actually correct mistakes with it without compromising the election. That's the whole point of defense in depth. Compromising this layer does not actually break the system. Because any failures from it are both visible and redressable.
