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.

    I don't think Trump cares about impeachment: he's hoping that he'll incite the revolution that puts him in absolute power. He doesn't care about the Constitution or America or Americans except for the fact that he needs some of them to accomplish that for him.

    He wants absolute power: he just needs idiotic, deluded Brown shirts to back him up. Giuliani seems to be his Goebbels, if that doesn't make you laugh.
