Look, I hate mail-in ballots. Hate them.
We have these fancy new machines in Delaware. You stick a blank piece of paper in the machine. You vote on a touch screen. You say "Print". You get to SEE your printed ballot, with your name inside the machine (you can't touch it). When you are happy with the printed copy and it matches what is on the touch screen, you push "Vote" and the paper is GONE. Sucked into the machine where no one can get to it.
I want 100% of votes in this country done that way. If the federal government can spend $1 trillion on a magical stimulus package for Covid, why can't they spend $20 billion on fancy new voting machines (IDENTICAL IN EVERY STATE) and buy like 1 million of them? That means each machine would only have to take 100-150 votes EACH over the course of a voting day.
How hard is that?
I just don't get how a country that can literally write a check out of no where for $2 trillion during a pandemic can't find money to buy great new voting machines for the whole country.
Simple: That would remove all chances for corruption.
PS...how would this address mail in ballots?
