    Seriously considering signing up to be a poll watcher in the upcoming election. But I think the only way for this upcoming election to be legitimate is the following:

    - Computer counts should be provisional and not in any way official.
    - Manual hand recounts with a Republican and Democrat Captain at every precinct. Both sides must agree the ballot is legitimate before it is counted.
    - Cameras on at all times at every precinct to ensure ballots are being counted correctly.
    - Ballots only counted between 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. local time for visibility, at 9 p.m. the count stops for the day.
    - No ballots counted before the polls closed to prevent sides from knowing how many ballots they have to make up.

    This 2024 Election needs to be the most secure ever with all of the processes above put in place. Even a single ballot that is counted incorrectly is one too many and completely unacceptable.

    Do you really think the democrats haven't learned enough to rig the election despite these steps?

    What's there to even learn? Trump was so incompetent he let an election get rigged right under his nose. Now with Biden already in power it's gonna be even easier to rig. EZ PZ Lemon Squeezeeee.

    Machine counting is not only less expensive, it's much more accurate than hand counting. When the machines counted the Arizona ballots, the delta between counts was less than 10. Hand counts, and the deltas were closer to 50. One thing was consistent. Biden won every count by more than 10k votes every time.

    To play this out: we would be waiting weeks or even months in some of the nation's largest voting districts. More fodder for the conspiracy nuts to claim those inevitable delays (hand counting and hand verifying each and every paper ballot will take TIME) were nefarious.

    Still waiting to find out how the Dems stole 2020 for Biden but didn't bother to steal any House or Senate votes at the same time.

    Yes, all the votes should be counted once with the right hand and once with the left. Can’t be sure otherwise. Till the counting is done this way and everyone is happy, Biden shall remain president.

    This isn't the bake sale committee at the local church electing a chairperson. The pastor isn't going to sit there while Sue Ann counts them, then her rival Gertie recounts them while Bocephus video records it all so another committee can agree that it as legit Roughly 160 million registered voters in the country.

    You are not going to be a poll watcher or do anything useful or remotely civic minded. Election Day is a 16 hour workday that is either volunteer or minimal pay and a two hour setup the night before.
    You seem to add very little value in this world, you're not going to start now.
    Leave the adulting to serious people who know how to get things done.
    I've been working the elections for years, we are much better off without you.

    I just want to know what we can do to stop The Villages from using the dead to cast votes for Trump.

    While in theory your plan is excellent ... the problem with its real-world application is it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to find people in blue jurisdictions who possess the "maths" skills to recount ballots. Any quantity above 10 is profoundly challenging for them and even quantities from 6 to 10 would be nearly impossible for them given they would need to use one hand to flip the ballots from the "uncounted" to the "recounted" pile. Gotta remember .... most of these people in the blue jurisdictions are unable to "make change" at the fast-food establishments that employ them ..... when "the register is down".

    Completely disagree. I absolutely do not trust machine voting. Too easy to hack or otherwise manipulate. I'll take a hand count over a machine count any day of the week.

    I would also say voting only on election day with the caveat that election day is a national holiday with all businesses except essential businesses (pharmacies, grocery stores) and emergency services closed. Those essential businesses or emergency services would be required to give all of their employees 3 hours to vote or they would be allowed to vote at the Supervisor of Elections office prior to election day.
