I have been an Election Judge since 2006. There has been NO cases of Voter Fraud in my experience.

Election fraud is the problem. Paper ballots eliminate those forms of election fraud which are enabled by electronic voting.

No problems at all with any of that,and they put paper receipts on the electronic machines. Double check.

It's nice we have a paper trail, but the counting process is still electronic.

That's an awesome marketing slogan - Russia can't hack paper. I hope the dems run with it.

in order to fill in the blanks.

I had a strange experience back around 2000, when I was still finding my way around the city's political networks. One of them called us together to see if we would be interested in providing research for a lawyer. The meeting was interesting enough for me to all but forget a side comment from one of the participants. It was just a private conversation between us. She told me she worked for a company, or knew of a company that was looking to hire. They said they took surveys and that sometimes the sheets came in incomplete. And what did I think about a job where I would insure that the forms were completed?

I pictured a company that was sending forms to the employees to find out what they could do to improve the job environment. And I figured that the job involved Christmas treeing the empty holes. I told her, "Sure, I can be creative."

But the look she gave me told me I got it all wrong. I think she sized me up and decided not to give me more details.

She later became a commissioner for the City. So, yeah. Trust no one.

The results of that counting was posted at the precinct for the next X number of days, sometimes
1 day, other times 7 days.

When they were counted at the precinct, the counting for all precincts was completed by 1am (about 5-6 hours to do all the counting).
In San Diego County, we have close to 2000 precincts, but only about 30 tabulators.

We had about 2000 sets of poll workers, finishing around 1am., while 30 tabulators don't finish until 7am the next morning.

When the tabulators are used, no counting is done at the precinct, so no results are displayed. We have to wait till they are displayed through the websites and if you're one of the precinct that don't get counted until 7am the following morning, well that's too bad.

Ballots should be counted at the precinct, then the tabulator. If there are any discrepancies between hand count and tabulator count, it will be identified at this stage.

In either case, when the ballots are placed in the delivery box, the lid is sealed with labels that display a different color if they are tampered with. Labels are not always placed in the correct location, and as we've seen in Wisconsin, ballots appear in the oddest places.

And you can bet that there are people who knew where they could exploit the process.

there is no transparency on how they left the precinct.
Once they are counted through the machines, there is no transparency in the ballots.

The ballots are never hand counted unless a recount is ordered
The candidate that requested the recount has to pay for the recount.

While we see Riverside County charge $1 per ballot to recount, San Diego County
was charging some ridiculous amount like $10 per ballot to recount.

This was done to discourage hand counting the ballots. Too expensive!

Once in the system, totals can be intercepted and modified before being delivered
to the states tabulator.
This is the man-in-the-middle method that was done in Ohio in 2004 against Kerry.
Electronic totals heading to Columbus were rerouted to a server in Kentucky where
figures were modified and you'd see Kerry up by 10,000 votes within a minute be
down 20,000 votes, completely in-explainable.

I hate the idea that one day we'll learn that we had three Democratic candidates robbed of their rightful place in the oval office:

Gore, Kerry and Clinton.

At least in my area that uses schools, churches, residential, buildings, the library, and the county office building.

that has been added has been justified by fabricated crises -- just like the current fabricated national emergency.

A hacker worth their salt would hack to the most effetive, least secure and harder to get caught piece of equipment.

We already know those are voter roles for the states

Major points in my book for Kamala for bringing this up...

Yes

and vote by mail in Oregon (and nearby Washington). The only fraud in recent history was a small-town clerk, who was caught filling in unvoted offices for the Republican candidates.

She should be getting out this year.

Again, paper ballots with top flite independent counters all on video tape. Strict Custody security from collection through counting and tabulation.

Do this and then get the remaining States we need to ditch the Republicans best friend, the Ridiculous Electoral College.

I'm not blaming Harris, I'm blaming the whole party. Throw Sanders in there too for all I care. Obviously R's aren't complaining. I'll never understand why Democrats have not been shouting this talking point from the roof tops for not only 2 years but 20 years.

And this tweet will as well disappear into the morass. Even though this issue is at the very heart of having a fair and legitimate democracy. I just don't get it.

But not a party issue.

Just like voter suppression... it just happens to benefit one party more than another.

However, it's not just the ballots. Russia hacked into voter databases. If you can remove people from the rolls, then you have prevented them from voting no matter if it's paper or machine. And it's much more efficient.

Especially for the losing party.

Yes, its only one of the tangents of GOP cheating. But it is important none the less to address. And it may be a State issue for implementation, but it is of national interest in securing a fair vote for the leaders of the country.

then it becomes a security issue, not just a party issue.

Why do you think that Trump is saying that it's not a security issue?

And raising it to that level of concern by Democrats, I do not see happening. Which is puzzling and annoying. It will never be taken seriously by law enforcement if both parties remain mum on the topic. I'm glad Harris has at least brought it up again, but its far and few between that we hear about it, and it should have been raised any chance they could for years now.

We are already feeling the whirlpool effect. They cheat, because of no paper ballots. They gain seats. They enact even more regressive voting laws, perhaps even "fine tune" their machines even more for the next election, with the exclusive oversight powers. Next election, surprise!...they win again. And each successive time they have bigger and bigger majorities to enact even more roadblocks to fair elections. And down we go into the whirlpool, each time we are deeper, and its getting harder to swim back out. I just don't see the seriousness of the danger being equaled by the response of Dem guests on news shows or press conferences.

We have paper ballots everywhere.

mailed. I am an early mail in voter but return my ballot to the voting precinct where I personally deposit my ballot into the AZ machine which is locked to prevent tampering. I don't trust the USPS with something as important as my vote.

We need paper ballots in every election.

Then you check online to see if your stub number has been properly counted.

If someone hacks in and removes you from the registered voter list, then it doesn't matter what ballot you use, you aren't voting.

That's a far more efficient way to steal an election.

Or elected official would speak plainly and openly to the fact that *every* single piece of digital hardware employed in our nation's election cycles is owned and operated by Republican partisans.

How this brazen, integrity- smashing reality hasn't been exposed to the public and neutralized is a deep concern.

Why have no democrats raised this alarming fact??

The GOP has been caught changing the totals in those files (see Ohio 2004 for a perfect example).

Paper ballots won't solve everything.
