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.

    Look dude, for the longest time I had a female name on my ID, checks and stuff issued to my deadname, and I didn't have any problems. I was actually expecting at least one person to be a total dick, but that didn't happen. I was even able to deposit a sizable check (5 figures) written to my deadname with my female name ID to my female name checking account, conduct real estate transactions that way, etc so it's not like we're talking petty cash and smokes or booze here.

    As it turns out, the vast majority of people aren't autistic idiots like you, so your hypothesis of exact match fails.
