PAPER BALLOTS are the ONLY WAY TO STOP MASS COMPUTERIZED HACKING AND CONTROL OF THE VOTIN SYSTEM. YES PAPER BALLOTS CAN BE FORGED BUT NOT ON THE SAME SCALE AND AS QUICK AS C)OMPUTER VOTING. ALL BALLOTS NEED TO BE VERRIFIED BY NOTHING MORE THAN WATERMARKS OR ANOYHER FORM OF PREVENYINGH FRADULENT BALLOTS!

What happened to voting like we used to. The old paper ballots (absolutely no machines) that only you knew who you voted for etc.

Love the research you put into this! It’s been an area of interest for me. After reading your article, yeah we’re not there yet. But still the concept is intriguing and interesting. Thank you!!! Nice to see Badlands Media is bringing such talent!! 👏🏻

Yep. I was the administrator for my local tea party/flat tax forum in 2009-2011. Went to fundraiser after fundraiser & eventually burned out on chasing a rigged system. I won’t vote again until the rigged process is completely thrown out & we go back to one day voting by paper ballots ONLY!

Get rid of ballot drop boxes. DeSantis did it in the stroke of a pen with an executive order. Super simple. Why won't Governor Abbott do that for Texas?

I voted for the last time in 2022. Voting since 1988 & finding out that my vote has been compromised since that time including my parents generation & even perhaps my grandparents generation is insulting & sad. I have no allegiance to the government, politicians nor the idea that justice will be served by the time election season rolls around again. If free thinking Americans would tout this idea loud enough for the world to hear, the election process would be fixed quicker than a jackrabbit on a date!

Are you doing anything locally to get involved and help? Like work your local elections? Become a precinct chair?

Joseph Stalin “ it’s not who votes , but who counts the votes “

We all remember Election Day in 2020 when trump was leading every single battleground state and then .... they stopped counting. Wake up the next morning Biden is leading in all those same battleground states.. surprise surprise . Paper ballots are the only way republicans have a chance at winning elections. Democrats have figured out how to cheat the system to their advantage time and time again 2016 trump defied the odds with his victory it won’t happen again unless republicans start ballot harvesting and mail in voting

TL:DR ... Single day, in person, paper, hand counted, zero machine tabulation, period.

But I get the point and will read, later.

Same Day voting paper ballots and poll workers imo

If an 18-year-old high school graduate can't understand every detail, it's no improvement on paper ballots, in a clear box, publicly hand counted, by real people, right there.

Thanks Holly. Love that gear graphic. It really helps put the info in perspective. Most people don't like to read, so they don't. Most people don't like to do math, so they don't. So do more graphics. Really .

Absolutely no mail ins...all voters must have two forms of id with photo...and if mail ins are used then they must be in and counted before by a deadline of midnight same day as the vote...however, all mail in votes must be from people who requested them with appropriate id. Possibly by going down to the the town or district they are in and showing id or calling and requesting them with an id. It’s just a mess the ballots being used in the computerized machine are all fixed indeed. Soros was responsible for all the ballot machines that send all the ballots around the world...what a scam. We are sunk folks...its just too late.

Wow! Great highly informative article. U popped my bubble. Somehow I'd bought the Blockchain-will-Solve-E/t Narrative. As MAGA Patriot, I should have known better to trust tech implicitly. It's just that trusted truthers have been pushing BVCs. So how do we solve the issue of corruption? Hand-counted Paper ballots?

I get the potential pitfalls but paper ballots are way too easily lost, spoiled, altered etc. in the time-honored tradition of stealing the win. But perhaps the old way is the lesser of the two evils, or least likely to have mitigation options.

Simple procedures can be put into place to protect paper ballots. Will some still get lost etc.? Perhaps, but without some centralized attack, it is likely that the resulting errors will be small and non-biased (i.e. won't favor a particular party or candidate.)

Good point. If one thinks about it from the perspective of "what would THEY love to have in place?", paper ballots are probably not their first choice and I can see how an even more centralized version of "electronic voting" gets their evil energy all excited...

Not only possibly more centralized, but one so deeply complex that few if any humans will be capable of understanding it. That my friend is the Holy Grail of election fraud -- nobody believes the results, but there is no way to trace anything.

n.b. It should be possible to make things traceable using blockchain, but they would never implement it that way.

Paper ballots, counted by volunteers in say batches of 100 -- both volunteers have to get the same count, before it is accepted -- totalized up the line the way they used to do. No results released until every precinct in every state is in (no way to figure out how much tweaking is needed to 'win'). A county in Georgia decided to dis-enfranchise Dominion or Smartmatic, whichever they were using, and go to paper ballots. They found out it would only cost a quarter of what the state had been charging them, and they could maintain and archive their ballots in case anyone questioned anything.

So basically, the 2002 teck version of the 1920s' Chicago.
