Abrams Super Bowl Ad Calls for 'HAND-MARKED Paper Ballots'!

http://bradblog.com/ January 31, 2019

Georgia Democrat and potential U.S. Senate candidate Stacey Abrams, who will be giving the Democratic response to the State of the Union Address on Tuesday, is set to run a television ad during Sunday's Super Bowl in Atlanta with a north Georgia Republican County Commissioner calling for HAND-MARKED paper ballots in the state!

The ad is sponsored by Abrams' non-partisan voting rights organization Fair Fight, formed after Abrams is said to have very narrowly lost her contest to become the nation's first African-American female governor last November to Republican Secretary of State and champion vote suppressor Brian Kemp. Both he and his GOP successor are now calling for the state's 100% unverifiable touchscreen voting systems to be replaced with new, very expensive and also 100% unverifiable touchscreen systems that produce computer-marked, human-unreadable barcoded ballot summary cards, rather than hand-marked paper ballots which computer science and voting systems experts all agree http://bradblog.com/Docs/ExpertsLettertoSAFECommission_GA_BMDs_010719.pdf to be the most secure, auditable and overseeable way to carry out elections;

red and 3 blue. If there are no "irregularities" then what's done is done. If anything looks funny then a full recount. Or some such.....
