Trump should be calling for the non-use / removal of ALL electronic voting and vote counting machines immediately. Of course they are a very serious threat to the future of our country and the democrats wouldn’t stand a chance if our voting system was truthfully legitimate. Yes, it would burden the current system but I’d rather have that than the hag in the WH.

“Trump should be calling for the non-use / removal of ALL electronic voting and vote counting machines immediately.”

I agree. It’s ridiculous that there are electronic voting machines without any paper trail some other analog format (i.e. meters, etc)

What’s hilarious (in a sick, sad way) is that it isn’t hard to make a safe, secure machine that frigging tallies votes. Why it can’t output a safe, secure paper ballot is beyond me. The machines could be used for an initial vote count ... but the formal vote cast is a printed paper ballot that the voter reviews before submitting in a box. The formal vote count is then tallied by people and reported.

Of course, the machine isn’t needed in that case ... voting machines are simply another example of government incompetence and corruption.

If precinct size is an issue, just make more precincts. Cap the size at something like 10,000 voters. A board of 3 to 5 people can count 10,000 ballots w/o much of an issue. Funding can be taken from the various waste at the Federal level.
