Everyone who alleges election fraud implicates all the electronic voting machines. None of them exclude any of the manufacturers, including Hart. It's probably more a matter of whether or not you believe there was wide-scale election fraud that resulted in the 2020 Presidential election being flipped.

Just because you can't eradicate cheating or cheaters doesn't mean you should make no effort to eliminate as many avenues as possible for people to cheat; and electronic voting machines and vulnerable voter rolls are at the top of the list.

As an election judge in Gillespie County in the 2021 election, I can tell you that that election was very vulnerable to electronic manipulation, and that was zero transparency in the process. There are many ways someone could have cheated with the ballots in my precinct, or with the ballots in any precinct in the county, and nobody but the cheater would have known about it. If there was no cheating, it was simply because no one wanted to cheat.

That kind of vulnerability and opacity is completely unacceptable.

If we had used paper ballots only, it would reduce the scale possible for cheating. It would also be easier to observe.

Is that what the TEA party people said? Which election was it where they said people were going in and out of the building housing the ballots who weren't supposed to, etc?

By the way, thanks for stopping by. You're probably the only person who has, so far. I am curious, though, why you are reading it (for anyone else reading this, we are both part of the Gillespie County Executive Committee).

I enjoy reading leftwing commentary, particularly the more hard core stuff. It helps me see where they want to go, and what they think of us, etc.

Who are these leftists? I'd like to read some of their stuff. Can you point me to some of their sites?

I know back in 2016 or thereabouts, a number of leftists were warning about the dangers of electronic voting machines. Of course, they were thinking Trump could use them to steal the election, but then they figured out that they could use them themselves to steal the election.

On the contrary, changing votes by paper ballot requires manually stuffing ballots, which is a one at a time endeavor, and you have to have piles of ballots shipped in from NY or whereever, and if you are using anti-counterfeit measures, they have to take that into account; whereas, electronics can be used to change elections in real time, across thousands of machines simultaneously throughout the voting process, to better hide what is happening.

In my precinct, for example, if someone tried to stuff ballots, I would personally clout them in the head. When they are lying on the floor in pain, they cannot stuff ballots. But, if that person accessed my electronic voting machine by electronic means, even with me sitting there staring at the thing, I would have no idea he was doing something to it. See the difference?

I would be curious to know who are those leftists calling for paper ballots. Please give me some links.
