I wondering, did you vote in Georgia? I did. I made my choices and when done the system printed a paper ballot showing my selections and asked me to verify them. How can you say then that votes were not cast by paper ballot? It was the paper ballot that was run through the scanner and tabulating system. So yes, the votes were cast by paper ballot.

The law in Georgia stated that a risk limiting audit of the election system had to be performed. Statistical significant samples of the ballots were to be hand recounted. Instead of randomly selecting an appropriate sample, said to be 1.5 million of the printed paper ballots, the Secretary of State ordered all printed paper ballots to be hand counted to audit the voting system counts (the scanners and tabulators).

Signature verification is a different issue. Auditing the paper ballots with a hand recount was to audit the Dominion voting system. It had nothing to do with signature matching at all. If there had been software electronic "manipulation" of the vote totals done secretly by domestic and foreign parties, then the audit would have shown that.

Your post is why I continue to post on the subject. I don't believe that ignorance regarding our vote in Georgia is in our best interest, especially with the upcoming Senate runoffs. There simply is no profit in misinformation regardless of how innocent or hopeful it is.

There was NO AUDIT. Stop lying to people.

If you don’t understand at this point that the paper ballots were meaningless, no more than false security, you are hopeless.

You refuse to hear the truth of what happened, nor read the massive amounts of evidence as to what happened.

What is your purpose here? You defend Dominion and you defend Raffensperger continuously p, even when shown repeatedly to be wrong.

So your sample size is one, i.e. your printed GA ballot?

Could it be that you voted in an area that was following the law? It’s not as though there are no indications that election law was NOT rampantly ignored across your state, so why should anyone believe it was suddenly routinely followed, and everywhere, on the point of printed ballots? I just don’t buy it. Neither should you.

Assuming paper ballots were the universal norm across GA, how good was the education campaign to ensure every voter understood that they needed to get a paper ballot after filling stuff out on the machine? Typically, you’d think punching your selections on the screen and hitting “enter” was how you voted, unless you were specifically told to expect a printed ballot. This wouldn’t be an unreasonable assumption in this day and age. Hopefully many people would be highly skeptical of “the machine” correctly counting their inputs with no paper trail, but government-trusting idiots are absolutely everywhere (exhibit a: people in masks).

You still haven’t answered my question about what is GAINED from a computerized system that prints out paper ballots over just printing out ballots from the get-go and filling them in with a pen. Sounds like an improvement over Diebold, but still, why over-complicate things??

I’m willing to suspend my disbelief to grant plausibility to what you’re saying about the paper recount simply being an exercise in verifying the count from Dominion machines/that they were not hacked. But it still ignores the fact that this recount was a sham from the start since it did absolutely nothing to remove fraudulent paper mail-in ballots from the pool of (re)counted votes. If anything, it was only an audit of the Dominion machines not an actual recount of legal votes. Shouldn’t counting all legal votes be what we care about here??
