That’s what I’ve been saying since the election
That's been the truth for at least as long as i've been alive.
Why the fuck is a private company even involved in our elections to begin with?
American ingenuity, it's not corruption when a private company does it for political favors!
What do you want the government to pay people to do stuff that benefits the population? When a private sector can remove all the guardrails and outsource labor, ludicrous.
Well fuck.
I believe those were the same words uttered by half of Americans who chose not to vote last time round.
And now that the shithead cheaters OWN THE VOTING MACHINES I'm sure they will suddenly be saying they're the most trustworthy things ever.
Reminder: check your voting results frequently when you vote next
The new owner, Scott Leiendecker — a former Republican election director from St. Louis and founder of the tech company KNOWiNK — says his goal is to rebuild confidence in America’s voting process through transparency and paper-based security.
Thank goodness.
Is that paper 100% untouched by machines? Is it manually counted by multiple people of opposing parties?
If no to either, then it's untrustworthy.
Actually votes already are even under the current system
Moreso now
