Undoubtedly Precious Liberty. That is why the German Supreme Court responded to a challenge and produced a decision causing Germany to return to paper ballots in 2009. Today only France and Belgium still use electronic voting while here, Hillary’s friends at Google are lobbying heavily for Internet voting.

With computers managing input there is no audit trail. Even printing a pseudo ballot after touchscreen or scanner input makes recounts irrelevant. Mexico has reverted to paper ballots and requires biometric ID to vote. Their ballots are counted in precincts and stored in bonded warehouses. Most of Latin America is following suit. We are the banana republic because controlling representative voting makes the fruit of the remaining producers easier to steal.

Thank you, Spaulding. I always enjoy your posts.

When did the big push for electronic voting take place here in the U.S.? Did the furor over Bush v. Gore serve as the trigger, or were these people just looking for an excuse?
