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.

    Umm wut? Pointimg out that you swore an oath to defend the constitution is democrat fascism? Trying to overthrow the constitutionally defined process of democracy with a violent attack upon congress without evidence as admitted by Trump's own attorney is not a violation of that oath?

    We're sorry words mean things???

    And your answer is "waatch your mouth or I'll join the terrorists and attempt to kill political opponents?" We jave proof of Trump's fascism, clear as day and you ignore it. Trump the known liar tells you there is fraud and suddenly group think means it happened?

    Can't fucking even. Just watching the birth of a domestic terrorist is crazy. Page us when something as fascist as Trump actually happens. No 60+ faailed court cases across multiple states, court systems, and politically affiliated judges doesn't pass the sniff test.
