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.

"Ain't it funny how all us tech types went from saying electronic voting was so flawed in the US that every result should be assumed to be fraud to saying it's secure enough to blindly trust without a paper trail over the course of four years?" - The Mighty Buzzard [soylentnews.org]

Ruh roh, buzzlardo's idiocy coming home to roost. Like Trump there is probably an ironic TMB post for every stulid thing he says. Buzzy criticizes buzzy? Next week on Traitors'R'Conservative.....
On a side note, the more we are learning about the capitol hill insurrection the worse it gets. Glad TMB and Ruaway are here to explain how what we see with our own eyes is deep state something something.

Remembering one whole month ago is like a superpower to Trump supporters.
