Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.
He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...
They used those machines in my state when they originally introduced voting machines. Once we 'accepted' them, they swapped them all out for the ones that don't print paper receipts and told us they were basically the same thing, that we already excepted this, and to quit complaining.
the original machines printed your votes onto two receipts, one stayed in the machine, but went past a clear window so you could verify your votes, and the other was printed out to you to take home. The receipt that stayed with the machine had an anonymous random number that matched the printed take home receipt so you could type it into a website and verify your vote was counted.
The new website only informs you that the outer envelope was received, there is no way to verify the vote count any more.
No, that's something else. This machine prints your actual ballot, not some receipt proof-of-vote thing.
no. You are wrong. on the machines we used, the receipt that printed into the machine was the actually legal ballot. the scanners they had at the time could scan the machine ballots (reel of internal receipts) or mailed paper ballots and combine the totals.
people like you made assumptions and complained giving them the excuse to replace the system that was in use with another one that was actually less secure and more open to fraud that uses print on demand ballots for the machines now, which have caused lots of controversy, but it is what we are currently stuck with.
I'm old enough to know what a pregnant chad is and that's why I don't like manual ballots.
