We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high.

Puerto Rico’s primary elections just experienced hundreds of voting irregularities related to electronic voting machines, according to the Associated Press.
Luckily, there was a paper trail so the problem was identified and vote tallies corrected.
What happens in jurisdictions where there is no paper trail?
US citizens need to know that every one of their votes were counted, and that their elections cannot be hacked. We need to return to paper ballots to avoid electronic interference with elections.
...
We should eliminate mail-in voting and drop boxes too.
...
In-person voting (AND counting) on Election DAY, with voter id, citizenship verification, etc. But all this makes it harder to steal elections, so the Left opposes.
The bigger threat is mail in ballots
scanned?
doesn’t that leave room for “mistakes” in correctly reading ballot?
right again Musk.
The plan all started with early voting. It was all downhill from there.
They eliminated cursive in schools so writing is hard to do. Those X’s and then a signature is impossible.
Retina scans or fingerprint scan should be required in the future.
The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high.”
A feature not a bug.
The risk is certain. And ongoing. 🙄
YES! Go back to paper, no or very limited early voting, photo ID, and fingers dipped in ink.
Take an old fashioned beer case, tape it up real good, cut a slot in the top and put your paper ballots in it. This is infinitely more secure and verifiable that electronic ballot machines.
NO reason to ban them, just force them to meet the same standards used for EFT, which the global economy relies on every day.
The fix is in. Dems have already stolen 24. Now what?
> scanned?
For future reference.
Elon says something I totally agree with!
(Of course, he’s still a totally suspect surveillance-state front man as well...)
One reason we should not take great stock in poll numbers. The evil effing rats will do whatever needs to be done to keep power. I feel like the fix is already in for November 5.
My only objection to his statement was the use of the word small, as I believe that may apply to AI, but human hackers, no way. But regardless as to the actual number, it only takes one to change an election result.
You don’t know what those machines’ innards are doing. Corrupted versions of the software can be installed secretly. Data from the machines flies through the internet and into computers that could have corrupted software.
Machines has been proven, every and any time there was manual recount.
And, there is always a paper record from the machine voting.
Here, by law, the ballots have to be stored for two years.
Finally, what makes you believe, than manual count will be better?
There will always be a crooked board, counting manually, which could switch manually the vote, count the Dems twice, etc. etc.
Any fraud the machine can do, the crooked manual counting board can do better!
Manual count is a lot less accurate and lot easier to be manipulated than machine one.
This irrational hatred of machines is a wrong way to fix the elections! I would think, some Dems probably planted this idea, to avoid all other ways to really fix the elections (like purging the voter lists, eliminating mail in vote, voting on election day only, voter id’s, etc...)
National holiday.
Paper ballots and purple fingers
