With the proliferation of electronic voting machines across the country, many are nervous about the integrity of our election. Our government has assured us that there's no problem (oh, now I feel better). They promise there''s no voter fraud – just more crazy, conspiracy talk. Of course, they've been proven wrong again and again with the voting dead, absentee ballots, and yes, machines switching votes.
Voting irregularities don't always point to fraud, but rigged voting machines are in-our-face vote theft. Unless we've reached the age of the Terminator, where machines have a life of their own, machines have to be programmed by people to steal votes. And no, it's not Russia – it's companies like Dominion Voting, who donate big to the Clinton Foundation. Or Smartmatic, with ties to George Soros, who has consistently fought voter rights.
Donald Trump's enemies (government) will do anything to stop him, so I doubt they'd refrain from tampering with the voting machine's code. Nah! As sure as Hillary's taking a nap right now, they've got their evil, corrupt fingerprints all over these machines.
Okay, it would be naive to rule out vote-tampering, but what can we do to protect our ballot? Sounds like they have a lock, right? Well, if we continue on our present course, yes, they'll at least have a good shot at success. In reported vote-switching incidents to date, a person votes a straight Republican ticket, and before he posts that vote, magic circus, it flips to Clinton-Kaine at the top of the ticket. The voter then reports the problem to a poll worker, who assists to get the correct ballot accepted. Then the process moves on to the next voter.

You are talking about early in person voting, then.
I did poll worker trainer this year. It's a process I wanted to know about. All of the safeguards have created such a complex system that I don't see how any one person or one group can scrutinize the total process.
Yes, I’m talking about an option of in-person early voting, at county headquarters. Those who’ve received absentee ballots cannot choose either that or a regular vote on election day. Part of the maze is that there is regular voting, in-person early voting, absentee voting postmarked before election day, and provisional ballots for those who aren’t confirmed voters eligible to be given a ballot on election day. There has to be a better way to keep it simple enough to assure honest results.
I turned mine in absentee. Filled it out exactly as instructed, and personally took it to the post office for the proper postage and postmarking.
I didn’t think it was hard to do, but I’m sure there are those who could screw that up.
I don’t trust electronic digits, though. Once wrongly input, always wrongly input no matter the recount.
With paper, you have the physical paper that you can physically count, if you doubt the scanner.
I believed that at one time, in order to vote, you had to be able to read, write and understand the constitution. Now you don’t have to have the last part to be chief justice of the supreme court.
