Here's a fucking simple solution: use paper vote. It's difficult to fraud at scale.
It's not about the voting method. These people want to invalidate votes they don't like. Arizona Republicans went on a wild goose chase of looking for bamboo fibers in printed ballots which would "prove" they were printed in China.
From what I know about American politics I can believe their motive is to invalidate votes they don't like instead of actually preventing election fraud.
My suggestion of paper voting is a tongue-in-cheek recommendation for them to prevent election fraud because it would prevent them from being the ones to do it (at scale).
Even simpler solution: don't take claims of voter fraud seriously when it's the mypillow guy.
2020 election had 160 million votes. There were 2 cases of fraud for Trump. How about you prove the existing system is fraudulent before suggesting a change?
My understanding is America uses voting machines, which by their very nature is easy to attack without being tracked. How were the 2 cases of fraud detected and did they involve a voting machine?
I mean there hasn't been any at scale fraud of electronic machines. All of the Ambulatory Tupee's claims have been shown to be false.
How do you determine that? Voting result aligning with 3rd party polling?
I don't know about those claims nor the specifics of the machines used in America. I fundamentally believe you can't have trustworthy electronic voting due to the undetectable weak-points at every stage. Why Electronic Voting Is a BAD Idea - Computerphile
