C'mon newrepublic.com, you had a chance to really make him lose it with:
"Mike Lindell, CEO of lumpy pillow company MyPillow, loses it it after..."
Strongly agree that we sound eliminate electronic voting machines unless the software is publicly available and audited.
He fell ass-backward into a good idea.
This would be ideal, but we already audit its accuracy in many states via concurrent paper ballots.
So yes, we should, but we do have "compensating controls" even without it.
You're confusing electronic voting with the electronic paper ballot counters. They're not the same machine at all.
Im not. Some voting machines also give you a paper ballot that can be audited. Pennsylvania is one such state.
In Pennsylvania, all voting systems produce paper ballots that can be audited. This allows election officials to verify the accuracy of the outcome long after voting has concluded.
With these machines, you vote on the machine, it prints out the result that you verify, then you drop the paper ballot in a box as you leave. This gives you the ease of digital voting and tabulation, with a paper audit trail if needed or contested.
Counts of these paper ballots have proved the machines are stunningly accurate.
I like that but I still don't know why we can't just all use paper and have the count take a little longer. I'd much rather the count be accurate than fast.
Plus mail-in voting is better because I can take my time and do some research and also vote without pants.
Mail in is the right answer, but if you are going to do in person, you want the voting to happen on the machine. Florida's "hanging chad" fiasco points out how paper ballots can confuse and frustrate voters.
An easy computer UI with simple choices that spits out a ballot with hard data on it is the ideal compromise.
Those ballots were overly complicated, too, and built to be counted by machines like a punch card. I think if they had been using paper with boxes that you can fill in they would have had fewer problems. For example, a lot of people ended up voting for Buchanan for president and Democrats in other races, which is just weird.
Looks like an orange on a toothpick
spherical, but pointy in parts
Head! Paper! Now!

Oh no! Anyway...
K-bid had a fire sale at the MyPillow factory last year. Mike is hard up for cash just like his buddy Trump. What a pair of sad losers these two are. Queue the rusty trombones…
Womp, womp
