10 years ago in Pa. voting on an ES&S voting machine that had no paper trail. I believe they all have paper trails now, but I could be wrong about that.

I do not like ES&S voting machines, several years in 3 states the exit polling did not match the machine count on those machines.

commission set up to examine the voting machines after every election, the software, hardware etc ... just to confirm election integrity. Fed or whatever, bi-partisan you name it. Not gonna get details from me ha, just a thought.

and once afterwards to verify their reliability. There are a lot of steps of accountability they go through to insure election integrity. Many counties will allow interested members of the public observe that process.

A little over 95 percent of voting machines now have a paper trail, I learned from a report on NPR.

Counties buy their own equipment and it varies from county to county. The state certifies a few that they will allow to be used in the state, then the counties seek demonstrations and bids from their vendors.

Against voting machines between this election and the 2020 election are frighteningly similar and equally stupid. They have been debunked over and over and over by experts, courts and local election officials.
