And this is why pedo Trump wants mail-in voting gone. Those are always on paper.
Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level
ChunkMcHorkle@lemmy.world 2 months agoAt this point, I’d be thrilled if just one thing – elections – went back to paper. I feel like paper ballots would have solved at least some of this current insanity already.

I don’t know how common this is but in my state the machine is digital but it prints out a filled, paper ballot. That’s what gets counted and not the voting machine data itself (which hopefully doesn’t keep its own tally).

The counting/tabulation is where the fuckery occurs, but you’re lucky to have a paper receipt anyway. I have voted in several states and gotten nothing but a sticker.

And that’s why handcounts should be mandatory and randomized after every election.

It worked for George W. Bush

At one point there were negative 16,000 votes for Gore in Volusia County, Florida.
So yeah, it absolutely did work for George W. Bush. And for John Roberts too, the low-level lawyer whose work on the resulting Bush v. Gore lawsuit that put Bush in the White House afterward catapulted him from mere attorney, to federal judge, to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in the span of only five years.
