BREAKING: Virginia Board of Elections Votes Unamimously to Remove All Paperless Voting Machines

66. Before we had electronic vote counting machines

many elections around Oklahoma were decided at the Democratic Primary. Many of the local offices wouldn't even draw a 'CON candidate because everyone knew they'd never get elected anyway so why bother. Somewhere along the line we started to use electronic vote counting machine and slowly the 'CONs started filing and some actually started winning to the point now its all 'CONs all offices and our state is a mess. We had our first 'CON governor elected in '61, prior to that since statehood we only had Democratic Governors for an example. We have many good great office holders back through the years but none and I mean NONE since the electronic vote counting machines.

The last time I did a search I was told that the cost for hand counting our paper ballots was in the 4 to 5 thousand bucks a precinct. Way too costly for us to use auditing to confirm our paper ballot totals. There isn't but about 2 thousand voters in my precinct.

I'm old, I'm 69 YO and remember all this so well. My trip to Vietnam woke me up to the underhanded shenanigans of our elected office holders, most of which you can't trust as far as you can throw them.
