Will Your Vote Count? Really? Think Again....

12. Or to put it another way, when you withdraw some money inside a bank,

the bank's computers may dispense the money, but the teller COUNTS IT IN FRONT OF YOU BY HAND AND THEN LETS YOU DO THE SAME!

If people want to spend jillions on these shiny machines, fine. It's sort of like shaving with a chain saw but if you just can't do without a shiny machine, at least AUDIT EVERY RACE by COUNTING 5% OF THE VOTE IN RANDOMLY CHOSEN PRECINCTS BY HAND to make sure it's statistically valid to at least a 90% level of certainty. And if the audit doesn't square with the machine count, RECOUNT EVERY VOTE BY HAND and put the perpetrators of the miscount, whether ES&S or Dominion or whatnot behind bars.

It would only have to happen once and elections would suddenly become very very different. The "red tilt" would disappear overnight.

if the vote is counted in total secrecy without verification, YOU CAN'T HAVE A DEMOCRACY. It's as simple as that.
