    @WabePoliticsNewsBot How quickly they forget (or choose to promote their clan’s favorite conspiracy theory).

    We have electronic voting today BECAUSE of issues with hand marked ballots yesterday. There are NO cases shown - not even theorized - of compromised votes using the current system. 🙄

    Ballots are readable and verifiable - on paper - by the voter before casting. They can be easily audited by both machine and humans. There is very little room for ambiguity nor error (what? ink smearing?). 🤷‍♂️

    Oddly, when electronic voting was first proposed - and implemented - we IT professionals did warn about risks in such a system. But, in Georgia, at least, we landed on a system that avoided these issues. And yet … Trump’s cult can’t accept that. Or is it really that he can’t tolerate a system he can’t easily subvert? 🤔

      yeah. I would really like the systems to be open though. We did it with papertrail over here to so it does not overly concern me but I went mail in and am not going back.
