Not necessary and a waste of money. The only entity trying to hack state voting systems in 2016 was our federal government. GA caught them, and the other states complaining didn’t identify the source of their hack attempts.

Let’s put in some mandatory voter ID requirements and see how much the left cares about ballot integrity.

The more that they spend, the more kickbacks they get. How else can they retire with a hundred million in their pockets on a paltry 180k a year salary?

As it’s based in truth it’s arguable the intent of the bill, but knowing the Democrats I believe this is just another ploy to further their Russian mantra. Stirring up doo doo again.

WHY ?

Watch the LIVE VOTE RETURNS.
IF THE LIVE VOTE COUNT TOTALS START GOING DOWN, YOU KNOW "FRACTION MAGIC" IS BEING USED !

DemocRATS will NEVER leave elections in the hands of the voters again, after Trump won !

STEALING ELECTIONS WITH COMPUTERS and Technology Cybercrimes, watch Bloomberg's Digital Defense November 3, 2016 (19:40).

To better understand "THE MASTER KEY" to stealing elections with computers, watch:
I'LL NEVER TRUST ANOTHER COMPUTER COUNTED ELECTION AGAIN !

Things have changed!

Bennie Smith, a Memphis computer programmer, discovered HOW this is done through aDiebold Election Systems changed its name in 2006 to Premier Election Solutions.
Bloomberg's article titled How to Protect Against Election Day Hacking gives more proof of this by Memphis computer programmer Bennie Smith.

It’s not Russians who are tampering with our election process. It’s the hack Democrat political machines all over this country who are a far greater threat to our elections than the Kremlin!

Eff the Dems! The whined about being hacked by Boris and Natasha yet refused to allow the FBI from examining their server. Instead of being charged with obstruction of justice, the FBI shrugs their shoulders and tbe DNC brings in private corrupt contractors!

Read that “security” as - gaining national control of vote tabulating so state votes can be manipulated and machines easily hacked from party head quarters.

Here’s my proposal:

Photo ID check
Paper ballots
Vote counting machines which aren’t connected to the internet
Ending of ‘vote by mail’

Won’t cost a billion and nearly foolproof from any tampering by liberals or their strawmen.

One simple, cost-effective way to increase election security is to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
Hacking Democracy - The Hack

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.
