Trump just told Hannity the US has "many paper backups" to ensure no election interference

[highplainsdem]

from Russia or other countries.

Hannity had asked him about this twice, and first got Trump complaining that Obama did nothing to stop the interference in 2016. When Hannity went back to it again, Trump started talking about how Russia didn't change any votes.

And then he finally talked about paper backups to ensure there's no meddling.

Anyone know of any real administration policy on this?

1. AFAIK, the feds have no fn backups of any kind, voting machines and materials are...

the responsibility of the states and counties.

2. Complaining about Obama

but failing to mention McConnell refused to cooperate with Obama on exposing the interference.

Not that I'm surrpised.

8. Glad to hear it!

Hope Pelosi and Schumer hold a press conference tomorrow saying how much they look forward to the full paper backup for elections bill to come from the White House to Congress. Let’s get this done!!!

11. Just more bullshit and lies he won't be held accountable to

Fuck trump...

12. Remember whatever Trump says, the opposite is more likely true.

13. If necessary, they will have to arrest me

but I WILL take a photo of whatever the type of ballot that is used, paper or electronic, WITH a photo id, AND my voter registration card in front of, or on top of, the ballot. I did it in NYC, and now that I have moved, will now do it in PA.

I WILL HAVE BACKUP PROOF OF MY VOTE!

Democratic administrators need to start pushing people to back up their vote themselves. They can't arrest us all. Then, if necessary, each and every one of us can go to our appointed precinct office and PROVE our vote.

And I am willing to wait as long as it is necessary for each and every vote to be counted.

With the things that turdface is now doing (repealing ACA, bitching about aid received by Puerto Rico, eliminating all funding for special olympics), it is obvious he does not give a damn about how we vote.

Which means he thinks Russia has that little task taken care of.

So we may HAVE to prove our own vote.

Be ready. If you can't do it, take someone with you who can, into the booth to assist you. You CAN have assistance.

Now the wailing and gnashing of teeth can begin, and everyone can dismiss this as ludicrous.
