Do we need paper ballots?

I'm not terribly conspiratorial, but we need to have a paper trail for elections in order to be able to verify any suspicious results. There is too much opportunity for mischief for all-electronic voting systems.

 

It's a state's issue. If people want paper ballots they need to make noise at the state's level.

I'm fine with the paper ballots that you fill out by darkening an oval next to the candidate's name and then place in an optical scanner. That provides quick, computerized counting and leaves a paper trail for auditing.

Old style paper ballots are not immune from tampering.

 

We need a paper receipt of all votes cast and all voting machines not connected to the internet as the state of Vermont currently practices.

 

Dead people etc. Voting bother me much more than voting machine hacking.

 

We use old technology voting machines in the U.S. that are fairly easy hackable. I don't see any connection to Soros. (The link provided didn't work.) The computerized results of the 2016 Presidential election in GA and the 6th District election to replace Tom Price in Atlanta were stored on a computer administered by kennesaw State univ. overseen by the GA Republican leadership. These were subpoenaed in a court case investigation whether the results were legitimate. Less than a week after the court subpoena they were erased from the computer. There has never been an adequate explanation of why this was done and who did it.

 

Vladimir.

 

So you believe he hacked our election in favor of the Republicans, right?

 

Price won 62% to 38%. That district is heavily Republican. It is considered a safe Republican district. Really doubt that election needed hacking.

No serious person believes that according to Obama

 

Sure that's what center left believes anyway.

However he must have been like Santa vising all the voting booths in one night

 

the 6th District election to replace Tom Price in Atlanta

I live in that district.
“Because of the insecurity of Georgia’s voting system and the lack of voter-verifiable paper ballots, the precise outcome of the June 20, 2017 runoff election between Karen Handel and Jon Ossoff for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District . . .cannot be known,” the lawsuit states of the contest in which Handel, a Republican, curiously defeated Ossoff, a Democrat, by nearly four percentage points, despite the fact that polls had shown Ossoff narrowly ahead of Handel.

 

Polls also showed that:
1) HILDEBEAST was going to be the next POTUS by a huge margin!!
2) Trump would never be the POTUS because --------!

SHAZAM !!!!

1) The HILDEBEAST is NOT POTUS
2) Trump IS POTUS

Moral: Don't invest your retirement funds in "POLLS"!! They are notorious for "fake news"!

 

That's what previous dictators like Mao, Staling and Hitler did, shut down the free press and not allow anyone to disagree with them.

 

You really do have a reading comprehension problem, don’t you!!!!!

 

LOL. I MUCH smarter than you are.

 

Brilliant, I surrender to your superior intellect!!!!

 

As of now, I am more worried about fake illegal voters than the voting machines being hacked. There is zero evidence of hacking breaking the voting machines. There has been phishing (sending emails) with dumb employees letting hackers into the democrat and republican party headquarters but it didn't get far. The only serious hacking was in the DMC with the Paki that seemed to be bribing them and then being protected by the very same democrats that didn't want his computers searched.

 

Don't insult and we can have a discussion.
