66. BB, Im not trying to take your levers, but a fact or two here please
If the optical scanners F up, you can get the paper ballots.

Of course, if no one knows the ballots were counted incorrectly, the paper ballots won't help unless
you have a really good audit and really good lawyers.

Regardless of whether federal legislation passes or not, NY is going to get to keep
their levers. Your US senators won't let them get taken.

Then, NY can decide later on if they find better alternatives.

Not for or against, just saying that if levers mess up, no recouping.
But the good thing is if levers mess up, damage is limited.
