Something is wrong in the way votes are counted

Identify the problem

1. There are a lot of problems, but for starters,

the whole process is insecure, messy, and inconsistent from state to state or even within the state. I'd be happy to go back to paper ballots, no machines, nothing connected to the Internet. If it takes longer to count them, fine.

2. No standard.

Fast results are voting machines. Slow results are paper. We need to go all paper. National holiday. Vote count the next day for a securely revealed late night release. No more bullshit horse race, counting bullshit.

3. Electronic vote tally. nothing is verifiable.

4. Depends on the state; in mine there are paper ballots

that are read by a scanner and kept for reference. That said, I'd rather ditch the scanners altogether and go back to old-fashioned paper. Even those old mechanical contraptions would be more reliable and verifiable than the electronic stuff.

6. Paper gets passed through a scanner and then the scanner results are treated as real.

People can't watch electrons running on wires.

Make precincts small enough that the paper can be counted in reasonable time, in full view of the public.

5. Yes

What joshcryer said. And so much more... get rid of the fatal flaws that allowed a fascist to even run for office.

7. I think we need to all vote

on election day in person. Republican voters know something we don't. That's why they all vote on election day. I'm starting to think all our early votes and mail in votes are getting messed with. Polling can not be off this bad.

9. How does the rest of the world vote?

Canada? Europe? Australia?
