Wouldn’t barcodes make it very hard for the rats to create new ballots and destroy old ones?
Barcodes would be a possible solution, as would blockchain.
But that is a going-forward solution.
My missive is really aimed at the courts. Enforce the law, people. I care mostly about THIS election.
If some strong actions are not taken NOW, I expect boxes and boxes of provisional and absentee ballots to overturn more and more elections, even those with safe margins of victory.
I mean, why not? There are no consequences or controls.
While bar codes may restrict the Rats to simply filling in undervotes, it wouldn’t eliminate fraud completely, nor stop clever hijinks in “curing” spoiled ballots (that is, ballots that are torn, have coffee spilled on them, or whatever - in such a case, a new ballot is typically filled out as a substitute, thus “curing” the spoiled ballot).
