It really was the most secure election ever

Journal by DeathMonkey

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.

    Super reliable source of information there, totally not a propaganda farm /rolls_eyes

    for anyone that doesn't want to bother clicking the link

    Google Trends indicate that searches for "Election Fraud Punishment" surged specifically in the crucial swing-states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona in the weeks before the election.

    One would imagine the term would be searched by people concerned with the punishment for committing election fraud.

    The election results in all three states are being highly-contested.

    As I reported on Friday, Joe Biden got a shockingly disproportionate 60-point advantage over Donald Trump in absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania and a 38-point advantage in Michigan.

    With one graph of google search trends and one showing mail-in ballot percentages by state with Pennsylvania compared to Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Florida. Totally not an attempt to cherry pick "the truth" to push a specific narrative.

    "Fake news" they scream, as they drop every brain cell to believe balatant propaganda as absolute truth.
