I'll be straight with you: I don't trust the government to run an honest election.
There is only ONE way. We must have universal, scalable hand counts of paper ballots, with maximum transparency so everyone can see.
This way has worked for hundreds of years. It produces accurate and trustworthy results. Why can't this happen now?
NewsTarget reflects on the Argentine example:
It’s quite astonishing that the United States of America, one of the most powerful nations in the world, struggles to hold streamlined elections. We’ve gone from having election results on the same night or in the early hours to prolonged counts of sketchy ballots behind closeddoors, with the winner remaining unknown for days on end. And these types of rinky-dink elections with long “third world” delays are being normalized, but it’s far from normal, and we all know it. This unacceptable stark contrast was glaringly obvious during the recent presidential election in Argentina, where they efficiently tallied 25 to 30 million paper ballots within hours. Meanwhile, certain blue districts in the United States, using machine ballots, take days to count a fraction of that number. How does one reconcile this?
Argentina: 25-30 million paper ballots
Maricopa (2020): 1.9 million ballots
Milwaukee (2020): 460k ballots
Detroit (2020): 250k ballots
Fulton (2020): 523k ballots
Explain to me how Argentina hand-counted all of their ballots in a few hours, but the big blue areas in our swing states take several days with machines?
Argentina: 25-30 million paper ballots
Maricopa (2020): 1.9 million ballots
Milwaukee (2020): 460k ballots
Detroit (2020): 250k ballots
Fulton (2020): 523k ballots
Corruption is the only reason the big urban areas won't hand count ballots accurately, transparently, and quickly. And it's time we end that corruption!
Hand counts of paper ballots work. And it's time to return to them- FOR EVERY ELECTION!
