They asked him to make a program which was able to do that. If I were running/making such equipment, I'd ask the programmers and other programmers to try to do that. I don't think that particular bit demonstrates malicious intent.
Edit: Ok. Just got a bit longer into the piece where he explicitly says that it wasn't about that. Nevermind.
Edit: Also as a signaling issue, it doesn't look good when the video is uploaded by someone with the username 91177info. If I had wanted to show this video I'd probably go so far as to make a copy of the video and upload it separately.
Edit: Ok. Final thought. Interesting. Not indicative of actual voter fraud occurring in this context. That election tampering does occur should have a high prior. Many forms like simple ballot stuffing clearly exist. In any event, this is probably mindkilling enough that it should be elsewhere.
