He may be a pia, but at this point I'll take it. Both him and Massey

no - that's why the laugh as the premise. I just always found the experience using them to be unnerving because it feels like when you are done and you open the curtain the machine is undoing your vote. It doesn't of course, but it's easy to watch all those levers you flipped down pop back up and wonder if they actually got counted, because the machine gives you no clue or confirmation that it's tabulating the votes, all you see is the levers go back up.

For me there was something extra satisfying about pulling that big level and hearing the noise as all of the little levers went back into place. I miss that.

I’ve been voting since 1992 and have done nothing other than fill in a circle on a paper ballot.

Here in Big Shoulders, we use a touch-screen which then prints out a paper record of your vote to take with you for your reference. The paper contains no PII,

This is just repulsive. More echos of 1930’s Germany.

we have mark sense ballots and machine readers. The ballots all get collected in the base of the reader as permanent records. The funny thing is we've had these for years now, and there is a privacy sleeve the ballot goes in so you can carry it over to the reader and feed it in, but the sleeves  have never actually worked so you  could feed the ballots in without having to pretty much take them out first - defeating the purpose - and that part never changes.

the biggest virtue of this system is that recounts are really easy as you can just run the ballots through another reader for verification.

Puppy Killer says her Gestapo agents will all wear body cameras, when funding for them becomes available. First off, there won't be any money for them (they'll say). Secondly, they don't say anything about turning them on/off. Who in their right mind would ever trust anything this lying.....woman...says? She's a proven liar...

Think about something...Donald Trump sues everyone and anyone who jokes or criticizes him. But the only peopke he hasn't brought lawsuits against? The 20 or so women who were kids when he raped them. Thats a very telling fact.

It’s also passing strange (to me, anyway) that he hasn’t sued the family of Thomas Crooks, the dead guy who supposedly attempted to assassinate him in PA.
