"You would have elections that everybody could be proud of. Because right now this country is a laughingstock all over the world," former president said in an interview with Just the News.
Former President Donald Trump is offering a specific policy prescription for restoring Americans' confidence in elections, saying it is time for states to return to paper ballots and to end no-excuses absentee ballots so that results can be finalized on Election Day and the nation can stop looking like a "laughing stock" to the world.
"I call them the fake vote store. That's the mail in ballots. We shouldn't have mail in ballots, unless somebody's very, very sick or it's military far away," Trump told the Just the News, No Noise television show in a wide-ranging interview aired Wednesday night on the Real America's Voice network.
The former president said the long delays -- sometimes stretching days or a week or more -- before many states finalize election results in close races has shaken America's confidence and created doubt in foreign countries. The delays, he said, are from the prolific use of mail-in ballots in some states that can sometimes be counted several days after the election if they have an Election Day postmark.
"We should go to paper ballots, like they did in France. Thirty-six million people (voted) and they had no disputes. Everyone had paper ballots, and it was one-day voting. They didn't store them over there in the corner, and you see the boxes moving all over the place," he said.
The state "should go to one-day voting. They should go to paper ballots. And you would have elections that everybody could be proud of. Because right now, this country is a laughingstock all over the world. They're laughing at our stupid elections," he added.

AND dipping your finger in purple ink after you vote
He has been saying this for years. You sleeping through his speeches and interviews?
Do young people even have a stable signature? Do they own a pen? They have mad texting skills, but their dominate hand penmanship is about as skilled as their undeveloped hand. An increasing number of government schools don't teach cursive writing.
You need ID to get the mandatory covid shot.
End of discussion
The problem is that he’s said a whole lot of useless stuff about the election that has drowned this out. And by “useless” I mean the endless complaints that the election was stolen.
You go to the front of the line in GA. I am more than good with that.
The problem is you are blinded by unhinged anti-Trump derangement. Educate yourself before you get on your high horse and write stupid crap.
After three decades using computers fur just shirt everything except writing checks and greeting cards, I sat down one day to write in a journal and found I nearly couldn’t. So much disuse had left me almost bereft of any legible handwriting ability.
That was a couple of years ago, and I write more on purpose, now, but I really had to work to rehab my penmanship, and it still isn’t what it once was.
It’s a supreme irony that our most avant garde technology works to strip users of one of mankind’s most powerful pivotal innovations: writing.
Ditto!
Paper ballots ONLY, and ONLY one day voting, END no-excuse mail-in, and EACH ID verified!
💖❣
Example:
You place lots of premarked ballots in the back room.
You make marks on the ballots and then decide they are spoiled so can't be counted.
You count them wrong.
Best way is both electronic and paper: so one way checks the other way if there is a question.
Hope PDT has been studying the Australian electoral system. Ok,I know the U.S system is administered at the state level, unlike Australis, but the actual electoral process is secure and trouble free. You register your details ahead of elections and when you change addresses you update. You can pre poll vote at a designated place if you cant attend on election. But as on election day you present yorself to an electoral worker, show you ID. It is checked to see it matches your details on the electoral roll. If all good, you are given your papers that have the parties/candidates on them. Go mark them. Fold em, and put in a box in full view of election workers. No fuss. No bother
And you are blinded by unhinged Trump adulation. Just because he was a good President doesn’t make him without flaws.
These ways and even more apply to mail in votes

I am a software developer. Electronic is the very worst way to vote. You can cheat with paper ballots but it involves stacks and stacks of ballots in order to influence a federal election.
I could influence a federal election with one line of code or one database command. You can not have election integrity with electronic voting
I see what you did there.

How is Cheating NOT POSSIBLE, no matter what is tried? Decreasing cheating will be possible, but not getting rid of cheating 100%, unfortunately. There will, always, be new ways to cheat that will be created. Cheating v.s. Non-Cheating will be a never ending war. This is an ongoing problem, worldwide.
But now they are switching back to paper ballots because of the worry of fraud.
The last 2 presidents, Duterte and Marcos Jr, won because they were popular (anti crime anticrooked cops and pushing a strong economy) so presumably the CIA and crooked locals could not stop them by manipulating the ballot.
You should be forced to wear a full body condom when you interface with this forum. It protects all of US.
If they could vote one day in Italy, and they don’t have set elections (like us First Tuesday after the First Monday), we don’t need early voting. If you can’t get to the poll on Election Day, you don’t know the issues.
There are mail in ballots and absentee ballots. Not sure what the difference is.
