Electronic voting should be illegal. It’s too easy to manipulate or hack. Repealing it should be a bipartisan effort.
Electronic voting is fine, it just needs a paper backup. I’m not sure why this is such a hard concept. Additionally, I’m sorry, but it needs to be done in person unless there is a valid documented reason not to, such as serving in the military.
And... all those nuts claiming on-line voting is the future, this is exactly why that is an asinine proposal.

How about we not seek out conspiracies when there are perfectly rational explanations, along with supporting patterns and easily found primary resources? The late 70’s and 80’s saw the death of the Blue Dog Democrats and/or Dixiecrats, happened in most of the Deep South, including my homestate of Kentucky. The national vote shifted from Democrat to Republican first, then state and local followed over a couple decades. All you have to do is read the shifting platforms of the candidates. You can hardly find a politician today of either party who supports institutional racism on the level of the Democrats of the “good” old days.

"Diebold became the most infamous name in the industry in 2003, when its CEO, Walden O’Dell, a top fund-raiser for George W. Bush, made a jaw-dropping public promise to “deliver” Ohio’s electoral votes to Bush. "
"The voting-machine industry over the past decade or so is now dominated by a handful of secretive corporations with interlocking ownership, strong partisan ties to the far right, and executives who revolve among them like beans in a shell game."
"Three companies that make computer voting machines: Diebold, Sequoia and Election Systems and Software (ES&S), all of which are owned by big GOP contributors."
The current count of states affected by the hacking is now up to 21.
The only reason for an electronic voting machine not to produce a paper output is to allow the results to be changed. There is no other excuse.
Even ATMs produce a printed receipt.
The GOP is invested in denying the Russia allegations. Any acceptance of them leads to invalidating the 2016 election and exposing any role the GOP itself had in this hack, suppression, etc.
"every credible intelligence source agrees that Russian hackers, under direct instructions from our sidepiece president, Vladimir Putin, interfered with the 2016 presidential elections. The evidence shows this is true."
So did Russian hackers the EC? Or how did this help Trump get elected? Failing to see that.
