It's impossible for me say, unfortunately, because of our black-box elections carried out (mostly) on electronic voting machines that don't allow for real audits and, for the most part, don't have complete paper trails. In my opinion it is absurd to have confidence in any process that is not completely transparent.
- jjeaff 4y agoWhat is absurd is to make such sweeping claims with incorrect information. More than 90% of votes tallied in the US in 2020 had a paper trail. Up from 80% in 2016. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/05/cybersecurity-202-more-states-now-have-paper-trails-verify-votes-were-correctly-counted/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/05/cybersecu...
