Reply #4: WE MUST INSIST UPON IT.

[Carolab]

THIS IS THE MESSAGE WE MUST CONVEY LOUD AND CLEAR.

THEY MUST ANSWER US AS TO WHY THEY CANNOT DO THIS. Their arguments about cost and time etc. are full of it. There is NO reason why there cannot be a paper trail and that paper trail is what is counted. Even with electronic tabulators, we can count the paper ballots at the precinct and print out a hard copy of the tabulated results for auditing against the count AND the pollbooks/registration records. Every pollworker, in the presence of public witnesses, can sign off on the printout and the hand count tallies. The same exact same procedure can occur at the state tabulation level. There are simply NO LEGITIMATE EXCUSES why this cannot occur.
