What's disgusting is that such a flawed, suck-ass human being could ever get nominated by a major party to run for president, much less get elected.
Then after four years of hateful, racist rhetoric and mind blowing incompetence, still had a chance to be re-elected
Absolutely
If they use touch screen machines, who examines the programming and validates that it works correctly? It's the company that built it, in conjunction with the same state officials who bought the system, who in SC and FL may very well be crooks.
How do you do an audit? It's impossible on a touch screen system, because there is no human marked paper to check vote totals against.
We need to eliminate any voting machine that doesn't scan a human marked ballot
In VA, I take a piece of paper with names and ovals on it.
I color in the ovals beside the names I like and feed that piece of paper into a scanner.
This year, the scanner read my votes for Joe Biden, Mark Warner and Abagail Spanberger into the elections database and dropped the paper in a locked bin.
If the board of elections wants to, they can count the votes on the paper and cross check those totals against the database totals.
We should do this everywhere. This setup, machine counting of human marked paper, should be the norm, so if the results diverge from the polling, humans can audit the returns by looking at the human marked inputs to determine if we have bad polling or fraud.
I'm convinced that touchscreen voting machines with no paper trail are giving incorrect results. In some cases it is deliberate fraud.
In others it is because they are built quickly, cheaply and badly by some fly-by-night company owned by a politician's brother-in-law and they suck as data processing systems.
