36. Then your "fantasy" has come true.
But I think it's fancy. Whatever many know about the dangers of evoting I'm not getting it's the reason for the AB voting. And if it IS the reason for AB voting, those voters made a terrible mistake, perhaps aided by people (like you) advocating it.

There is ZERO suggesting an absentee ballot is handcounted, except your previous mistaken assertions. I see you've figured out that AB votes in Riverside, CA were keyed into DREs.

I maintain that AB voting, quite the opposite of what you intend, is in most cases, a means to put ones vote in greater peril and fuels the consolidation of precincts into fewer and fewer polling places.

This is why I strenuously object to your advocacy of AB voting. The idea that it represents some sort of protest that will be effective in turning a tide against machines (your so called "bust the machine") is folly...or, to use your candid admission statement, "fantasy".

In most cases, AB voting is really bad for election integrity. Stop advocating it!
