Let me set the stage for you.

For some reason votes are private between you and the voting machine.
The only person who know who you voted for is the voting machine and those who ACTUALLY have access to the data. WHY?

People say every year the voting machines are wrong, the voting system is wrong and not counting correctly.

Every transaction I make with my debt card is instant and tracked. Where i made my purchase for how much and is taken directly out of the bank account.

YET FOR SOME REASON we cant offer the same thing for voting?

You get a card, you vote once, you get a record of it and its verified!!

DO you know why this is not allowed, because those who are controlling the votes don't want you to have access to real time voting and have a physical Unique card because otherwise illegal and dead people cant vote.

Our voting system is very broken right now, no question. States have to make decisions on how to best fix the issue. The problem is that this dilemma just needs to be addressed. Nobody, it seems, is paying that much attention to it, especially in areas where voter fraud is rampant.

The electronic voting machines here in NC print a copy of how you voted on a paper tape roll. You can see it as you vote in a window so there's a way to double check it should there be a recount needed.

I don’t have any more faith in the conspiracy theory that politicians steal elections by scamming voting machines than I do in the conspiracy theory that millions of voters vote illegally.

History 101 - receipts for ballots, indicating the vote, were banned waaaay back when to stop folks from "selling" their votes. Same logic would apply today.

Edited to ad - maybe it was Civics class. Hard to remember from early 1960s...
