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 Cybersecurity 202: More states now have paper trails to verify votes were correctly counted

Those are nice sounding, innocent sounding, excuses. But, it didn't just happen in Pennsylvania. It happened in Georgia, too. Then, the same thing happened again in the runoff elections, which the Dems won handily. It's a recurring once-in-a-lifetime occurrence that you might expect to see happen in one state or another, in about 40 years of voting. Same thing happened in other battleground states.
But, we're supposed to trust the fekkin election machines. They don't make mistakes. The people operating the machines don't make mistakes. What's more, the people operating the machines have no partisan ties. And, additionally, none of those machines are connected to the internet - except those ones that were publicly hacked into during testimony regarding the vulnerability of those machines.
But, don't mine me. I'm the trusting soul, who places complete faith in the Democrat political machine.
