Optical scanning of paper ballots is the safest way to insure an honest election along with proof of citizenship.
Stuff those boxes Dems.
DemonRats most effected.
In 2004 the Boston Glob ran fake(staged) ‘rape’ photos allegedly (but not) from an Iraqi prison (circa AbubGhraib) that were foreign sourced.
Fake news by a fake newspaper trying to influence the US presidential election with foreign fake propaganda. Chapter and verse.
Fubg
is she an extended member of the Kennedy Klan? Does she know about Ted’s collusion with the KGB to influence the 1984 presidential election?
They’re afraid of Trump’s investigation into vote fraud so they get rid of the Soros owned vote machines.
A diverse, locally-managed, decentralized, non-standardized voting system is the best guarantee of election integrity we can have.
Centralized systems and bureaucracies are subject to highly political meddling (ie. FBI) or unforeseen system crashes.
Great editing job there Globe.
He’s a loser liberal communist, but the least you can do is spell his name right.
It’s Wolf, not Wolfe
Early and absentee incl military voting....We NEVER know if these ballots are going in the basket.
This is so retarded it's beyond words.
There was nothing wrong with punch cards, except if you were trying to punch ten at a time like they were in FL in 2000.
Also do what was done in Iraq-when you vote, you are stamped on the hand with ink that takes a week or two to was off. If you show up a a polling place with the stamp, you aren’t allowed to vote.
And Purple thumbs after voting. You betcha!
Best news I’ve had in a long time.
Canada counts the entire country on paper ballots.
You have your local polling place count them at a very local level and then aggregate the counts. It ain’t rocket science.
The election system in Israel is about as fool proof as it can get: Voter ID with a photo required, all ballots are paper, the marked ballots are placed in double envelopes and sealed and then counted three separate time by three separate groups of people. The outcome is announced and all ballots are kept in a secure area until those in the government agree to the election’s integrity. Challenges and recounts are rare.
Paper ballots are fine but at some point, the totals get transmitted in some fashion to a state elections center.
Ir results are transmitted electronically, there is still the potential for electronic fraud.
Paper ballots also do not solve the problem of bags of ballots showing up from nowhere in a close race or a runoff.
Then there is the problem of absentee ballots and same-day provisional ballots.
This is why vote fraud investigation is so important. It provides the foundation for election reform.
Democrats already know how to cheat using paper ballots. Most of them struggle with using a computer.
In the UK, paper ballots are counted by non-political local officials in the presence of the candidates and the media. The local result is announced immediately by the non-political presiding officer. It’s old-fashioned, but it works. It’s very rare for there to be any allegations of serious fraud of the kind alleged in the U.S. It’s only with some recent experiments in postal and electronic voting that a few problems have begun to emerge.
