you think maybe someday the alphabet agencies will maybe, say, take a look at it?

I think every state needs a back-up paper ballot, and that those need to be hand counted to confirm the computer totals in every election. It's fine if they want to scan the ballots into a computer counting machine, but the original paper ballots need to be totaled by bipartisan counters to confirm before the vote should be certified.

That should do double-duty of making sure machines aren't hacked or having "issues", and letting voters know that their ballots are counted fairly. If a circle isn't filled in enough for the machine to pick it up, a pair of eyes will be able to see it and count it.

We need this done before an election is certified in every state.
