it's the fucking touchscreens ppl.

188. Yes, but also look at registrations. They are vulnerable to alteration,

which invalidates votes or prevents people from voting. In 2016 Detroit folks were turned away on election day because of registration problems. I think that cost us Michigan.

It’s relatively easy to alter registrations. Touchscreens are also vulnerable, but it’s a bit harder. Security officials say there’s “no evidence of votes being changed,” which is quite a lot of parsing; it’s possible votes were changed and they just don’t have evidence of it. But they do point to registrations as a soft target.

Mail-in ballots sidestep this attack on our elections. Only registered voters can get a ballot, so it can’t be then thrown out for registration discrepancies. You have time to alert officials if you don’t receive a ballot by a certain date. Even despite DeJoy’s fuckery, I think early voting and mail-in ballots saved the day.
