Paper Ballots, everyone. It’s high time to go retro and return to physical voting ballots. Hacking has influenced some top security agencies in Germany to retrain their agents on communicating by a typewriter. You heard me, a typewriter,the type you may have seen on the show Mad Men.

This has nothing to do with ballots. This has everything to do with Google presenting only negative stories for candidates they DON'T like and positive stories for those they DO like when a person does a search for that candidate's name. It sways the potential voters opinion of the candidate. . . the people who did the study tried in with various people in artificial situations and then tried in REAL elections in India and got REAL results.

It sways the undecideds and the low-information voters who are looking for information on making their decisions. . . and it is QUITE effective. THEY think Google is impartial, but it isn't. You and I know this, but THE LOW INFORMATION VOTER DOES NOT! They think they are getting a fair representation of the stories about the candidates when it is being deliberately skewed.

It is the ultimate example of a one newspaper town controlling the news a voter base gets.
