...paper punch...really??? you don’t remember the “Chad” count with Bush/Gore????
/Those were in booklets which were ridiculous. Years ago I voted on a card like an old IBM key punch card. Each card was about 3 by 10 inches. You put them one at a time into a slot after which you pulled a lever down to punch a hole next to each of your choices. You could not pull the lever if the card was not seated properly. You could also see clearly that your hole was punched through. It was a very inexpensive way to vote and had a card that could be rechecked.
I guess election judges could vote many cards without people actually being in the precinct to vote. I think that this actually happens in 100% democratic precincts where all the election officials are Democrats, even the ones who sign in the Republican columns since no Republicans will go there. They could just reuse the electronic cards over and over. If Trump can get poll watchers, or better yet, election officials to go into those precincts, much voter fraud might be eliminated.
Yes I do and it was done in the open and ultimately the fraud was prevented. I would not mind seeing that happen over and over again. With paper at least there is a chance for and auditable recount.
I work in IT and have a Master’s in Management Information Systems and I want a physical record to keep the ghost bits and bytes honest and audit-able. You can perpetrate fraud six ways to Sunday in software and electronics.
Do you think that there are not groups around the world and in the US who are working on a STUXNET type virus for voting? Do you want Russian/Iranian/German/British/Chinese hackers to be able to remotely manipulate critical elections?
What about the Soros Secretary of State Project (SoSP) established in 2006 as an independent “527” to elect subversives into the States’ Secratary of State offices to swing close elections? Do you think they would not attempt electronic voting fraud?
