Tennessee election security bill requires watermark on absentee ballots
Just The News ^ | May 1, 2021 | Daniel Payne

A bill passed nearly unanimously in the Tennessee legislature this week requires absentee ballots in the state to include a watermark as a measure of election security.

SB1315, titled the Tennessee Election Integrity Act, mandates that absentee ballots there “include a watermark approved by the coordinator of elections.”

Apparently, some churches are sending out water marked ballots for their members only elections to eliminate potential tampering with Church elections.

Watermark ballots are clearly racist.
I want a law that requires all precincts to report simultaneously...looking forward to hearing the twist of logic of why that is racist too

hmm. that reminds me of the question i always had as a non-believer as to why we all have unique fingerprints, unique ears, etc., etc.

here again we see again the wisdom of our Lord, he chooses everything about us, making us individuals in His eyes.

and we can rightly apply similar ideas, where it makes sense, to take back our ballot, which is our choice.

You are correct re we are all individuals.

There are ways of identifying us to vote, board planes and other ventures.

The problem is how the liberals and government in power handles the identifying process and not abuse it.

Racist.
Poor people can’t afford the equipment required to counterfeit watermarks.

Precincts should count ballots on the spot, at the precinct, in front of a live audience, and live streamed and video captured.

These Arizona ballot audit reports seem to be reporting only on what is being done. Which :Is that ballot being checked on authentic? But not how those fraudulent ballots got in there.

I think one of the most important things is to require that all voting machines in TN are safe and secure!!!

Great. Tennessee is 20% Black - where are THEY going to get a Watermark, and who will pay for it?

This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why the Republicans are looked at as opposing voting rights.

This is racist. Blacks can’t figure out how to get ballots with watermarks on them. And they can’t learn how to do so on the internet because they can’t figure out how to use the internet.

Make all Voters dip their Heads in a Vat of Purple Ink at the Polls.

That way every Voter is the same Color and they are treated the same.

well when i in person voted in tn, it was a simple touch screen machine from which there was a print out from a (looked to be standalone machine). which i could then verify my selections (which was good) and then the helper took the ballot and deposited it in the box there at the sight.

pretty good process, but you know, now it’s not the votes that count anymore, its who counts the votes. somehow we got to get that back. in tn, i think the counters are mostly trustworthy. some have mentioned memphis and nashville though. have to keep a wary eye there.

You are correct about this...but there is STILL not **sufficient** security in the Volunteer state.

Some reasons: City is under Democrat rule. Democrats are INEPT, generally Godless...and foolish.
