Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.

Nobody can prove it did not happen either.
Anyone can say anything about any of the systems, and it would take a panel of experts to explain why it may or may not be a valid criticism.
That is the problem with computer voting in the USA ; it’s inscrutable , the exact opposite of how a democracy should function.
Because no one can prove a negative. Therefore the accusation or claim is null.
Also, it's not computer voting. It's a touch screen that then prints out your votes. That's what you put in the ballot box.
Have you not voted recently?
I’ve probably been voting longer than you been alive. I’m so glad you could resolve my confusion with such bland, marvelous words, which shows a dedicated understanding of this very complex topic.
I’m sure you looked at the 176,933 precincts in the USA that has over 100 voting systems, with numerous often contradictory practices, and mediums ranging from paper ballots to many other types including the very fancy touch screens. In fact I know you did. I will rest easy. Again, thank you for helping me
I see you've already fallen down the J6-style hole. Good luck on your endeavors.
Don't ~~attack~~ have a peaceful tour through the capital.
God bless
