"We'll never know" "We'll never know" "We'll never know". How about we fucking try to know? [View all]

After the 2004 debacle of seriously F*ed up voting irregularities in Ohio, everyone suspected that the electronic machines had been cooked to give W the win and screw Kerry out of the presidency.

We all had our suspicions, but we'll never know.

After this election, it seems very clear that the Russians either succeeded in hacking the vote totals, hacking the voter registration machinery, or hacking both, but they sure seemed like they were trying their damnedest.

We have our suspicions, but we'll never know.

In 2018, when we fail to win back either house in Congress, despite two years of the malicious and incompetent rule fo the GOP, we'll all suspect that the electronic voting and vote counting machines were rigged. But, say it with me, we'll never know.

We'll never know. We'll never know who is actually winning our elections. Ever.

until we collectively dump those mother fucking machines into the seas and vote on paper. Paper (or some other media) which leaves a physical trail of the vote, a solid, countable record, that can be counted, re-counted, and counted again if necessary.

no wondering.

Until then, we'll never know.
