Flashback: DHS chief calls on officials in all 50 states to have 'verifiable' ballots by 2020 election
The Hill ^ | 8/22/18 | OLIVIA BEAVERS

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Wednesday called on election officials in all 50 states to ensure that ballots used during the 2020 presidential election are able to be audited.

Nielsen told a group of reporters touring the Department of Homeland Security's National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) in Arlington, Va., that she wants "all state and local election officials to make certain that by the 2020 presidential election, every American votes on a verifiable and auditable ballot."

"Our systems must be resilient. We must be able to demonstrate that the votes count and that they are counted correctly," she added.

Nielsen listed three ways states could audit their ballots: By using paper ballots, machines that print out an individual's vote so it can be verified that the machine correctly tabulated their choice, or using machines that send a duplication transmission when someone votes.

This has no teeth. Was it ever enforced?

The Dems are laughing their way to the White House.

I think mine did. I put it in the touch screen machine, made my choices and it printed for review. After I checked it I put it through the scanner. We used old machines last time so these were new.

Obviously not, everyone was too busy worrying about “white supremacists”.

“Why are you posting articles from 2018?”

Because the content of the article is directly applicable to the election topics of today.

Do you not see that?

exactly. some people are thick as hell.

I would REALLY like to know if a) this happened and b) will the Trump admin wait for the final call on an election (ie did he win or lose) and then go in to validate?
