That would be a good move. Back to paper. But even the paper ballots we used before were counted by an electronic machined.
What we have now is a computer that spits out a paper ballot you can look over. My question was. Do we know the machine counts it is correct.
Since the incident I have repeatedly mentioned our voter official has been hired to oversee an entire region to check for “funny” machine with “technical problems” C is very bright and will find them if at all possible. She is the one who alerted the state way back to the issue. We miss her

Here’s one of mine:
You’ll agree that they had a lot of reorganizing to do after you read Ann Ryder’s account of Diebold’s latest acquisition, Global Election Systems, which counted much of the vote in the Florida 2000 presidential election. Ryder’s story, entitled, “Voting Machine Dirt and Then Some,” appeared in North Carolina Conservative.com
“In 2002, Diebold bought Global Election Systems, which then became Diebold Election System. Global was founded by three men, one of whom spent a year in prison for fraud against the Canadian government and was part of the collapse of the Vancouver stock exchange. He was first convicted in 1974 for political corruption. Another of the founders was jailed for stock fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering. The last of the trio defrauded Chinese immigrants and sold the real estate that had been posted as bond to bail out one of the jailed partners.
“The staffer who handled the ballot printing for Global was a convicted cocaine trafficker. He brought into the company a fellow former inmate who had been in the slammer for computer-aided embezzlement. This embezzler became the lead programmer for the Global Election Systems’ vote-tally product that is still in use. By late 2000, Global’s voting system contained the first double set of books problem where all votes are recorded twice internally and don’t need to match. It appears to hide some forms of vote fraud. The guy quit when Diebold took over, but was then hired right back as a consultant.”
Which all leads back to this basic fact:
