20. The scanner is nice keeping the paper and all

I hate to burst your bubble of hope, and I hope that the Dem wins as well, but just having paper makes not a rat's ass of difference unless the paper is used to VERIFY THE VOTE.

The companies hope you'll feel good about the fact you've got paper, and then just keep your mouth shut regardless of how obvious the rigging is.

This is the situation Beth Clarkson here in Wichita KS is in and others around the country. She has begged to be allowed to look at the paper so she can verify the vote. Maybe those folks in VA, particularly the Repubs, are a lot more honest and fair those in KS but I'm pretty sure they're not going to take even a passing glance at the REAL PAPER, THE REAL OUTCOME.

Curious..was there early voting? Laura PourMeADrink Nov 2017 #1
