Reply #17: The paper receipt ALSO needs to be given first priority in a recount!

[Peace Patriot]

How they get around paper receipts, and keep the system fraud prone and manipulable, is by giving people a paper receipt--so the voter thinks that's something, they can't cheat--but then, if there is a recount, the ELECTRONIC total take precedence over the paper receipt. We really should name it a paper BALLOT, and include in laws that, if there is a recount, the paper BALLOT takes precedence.

There are many, many perils in electronic voting. Another is the central electronic vote tabulation machines, which operate on secret, proprietary source code (owned by BushCon companies). I've begunt to think that there really is not remedy but old fashioned paper ballots and hand counts. At least you can SEE it. It doesn't disappear at the speed of light. In Germany, they put all the ballots into a GLASS container which is guarded until the counting. They also do Exit Polls as a check on fraud.
