Well... I guess we'll have to use paper ballots.
In Alabama we use paper ballots but they still have to be put in a machine to count them.
Same for me in PA. At least there is a paper trail... that they can shred later...
Same in Texas here. But that's only been since 2020. They give you the paper when you check-in, and then you take it to the booth, vote on the machine, then feed your paper in and your votes are printed. Look over the printout and then go feed it into the main machine and hope you haven't fed it to a shredder.
That's very complicated. More chances to cheat.
Yes indeed. They even let me take a photo of my ballot and the screen after I insert it and it is logged.
Yeah, it's pretty laid back at my precinct too. We don't have actual "booths" there's maybe 2 tables set up with cardboard partitions on the tabletop for about 3-4 people, but the rest of the round tables are open with maybe 6+ chairs around them where people just sit and do their ballots without any privacy, then go put ballots in the machines.
You just described my precinct. 😆 Alabama is pretty legit. We only really have Birmingham and Montgomery to worry about........
Good thing we're a broke state and can't afford the gimme-dats and the food pellets. Keeps the grift moving along........to Atlanta.
You live in Missouri too?🤔😏😉
Everything should be transparent
I agree. I was having this convo with my lady yesterday, starting out talking about OpenSource, how it is the key to everything. Not just software, but everything in life. Ultimately we decided that what we were truly talking about, was ubiquitous transparency.
Its the (Earthly) answer to all of our problems.
Same here in Assachusetts but they never give a receipt for the voting choices. The machines have totally got to go and the voting places need to be much smaller with a host of people observing.
I guess they don't know basic math. A product of our Public Ed system?
