State by state, the US needs to true the vote. A pure electronic system isn’t going to cut it.

In Britain we use paper ballots marked with Xs - and every ballot has a machine-read registration code that in principle allows the entire vote to be completely audited.

That ability to audit the vote was used to jail several Lefties in a council election a few years back.

And when I say paper ballots I do mean ones marked with Xs. We mustn’t use punch cards where vast numbers of votes can be annulled with one push of a long metal rod - as was the problem in Florida 2000.

“State by state, the US needs to true the vote. A pure electronic system isn’t going to cut it.”

And don’t forget that voter id must be required to vote. NO provisional ballots. We must require responsibility if you want to vote. We now control more state houses let’s go to work.
