Paper ballot with electronic tabulator. Photo ID a must! Back in 2020 we voted on electronic machines. Why does it change for federal elections. The photo ID part is great. I just don’t trust the electronics. Make voting fair again!

If everyone took a picture of their ballot before feeding it to a tabulator. Counts could be verified/compared via 3rd party.
No cell phones. Law
Understood its the law, but what is the intent of the law. There is no reasonable justification that every voter could not have a “receipt” of their ballot for the purpose of future verification. It doesn’t have to be a cell phone pic, could be an official scanner that instantly emails you a copy. No need to to dissect the logistics at this time, but the concept is a viable solution as a safeguard measure. This is the only system that does not allow a copy, takes your original, and you can never see it again. Its engineered for cheating.
I took a picture no one said a damn word. They do the paper ballot and you put in the machine.
I told the lady working I see we are still using the cheating machines.
Was just discussing with my wife how we have no way to know if the machines correctly tabulated our votes, only that the ballot added to the total number put in the machine. And at our voting location, when you sign in, they look up what party you are registered in! Seems like a convenient way to tag your ballot.
Yes pede!
I did this and always take a photo discreetly with the sound off on my phone. As hubby and I were leaving, i was approached by one of the workers who asked me if i took a photo and I said yes. She said I must ask you to delete it and i said, why it's my ballot. I took out my phone and let her watch me delete it saying i don't understand this is my ballot and I have a right to document it... however i might have taken more than one photo and only deleted one
Tomorrow I'm calling Ken Paxton's office to ask what we can do to get PAPER BALLOTS. I know POTUS has a plan but we citizens must get involved!
Just say no...or say nothing at all and keep walking like you own the joint... because you DO.
Free men and women don't answer to public servants.
I'll do whatever I want, as long as it's moral and isn't hurting anyone.
This "assumed power" bs has to stop. Claim and operate in your power... and stop giving it away because you're compelled to be a good citizen or whatever.
Glad you took a pic... next time just walk off. What are they going to do, assault you?
I don't know...I was shocked and full of righteous indignation, but in a quiet way I never raised my voice but after we left i remembered that I might have taken more than one picture. 😺 I will never make that mistake again of being too close to a "watcher"
Undelete the photo. It’s in the deleted photo album.
I voted last week (in TX). ID mandatory (I used my ccw just to see what they said), and the voting machines were ES&S. I will say the card that is printed out (which you feed into the scanner) shows your vote choices in english - not some barcode.
The guy that checked my ID thought it was some sort of a gun club card. Uh - no. That actually concerned me because that would not be a valid ID, but my Licence-to-Carry is a valid state ID explicitly referenced as an allowable ID and scannable just like the Driver License. I wonder what other "IDs" this guy would accept?
Yes...too many uninformed folks around.
