When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.

After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.

States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.

The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.

Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.

    The irony never stops with conservatives. 2016 they ignored all concerns about election security, stopped any legislation that would improve election security, and refused to acknowledge the very real voter disenfrachisment from Georgia's GOP purging voter rolls and a variety of other concerns around the country.

    So far the GOP is the group destroying democracy the most, and as usual gaslighting everyone else to keep attention off themselves. Now they are driving their crazier followers to volent insurrection, and they still try and blame BLM and Antifa.

    Party of Personal Responsibility folks dot dot dot dot dot

    I can only presume all the assholes defending this shit around here are not drooling morons, they are actually seditious bastards who are 100% willing to use violence to achieve their political goals. We are going to die of iron poisoning.
