MO County Replaces Voting Machines With Hand-Counted Paper Ballots...Here’s How One Person Made it Happen...And How YOU Can Do The Same Thing In Your State [VIDEO]

Linda Rantz is proof that one person can and does make a difference. In 2021, Rantz moved with her husband from a solidly blue state to Missouri. The couple immediately became involved, volunteering in their new state, hoping to find a way to fix our broken elections after the 2020 election.

After spending a great deal of time canvassing in her state, the passionate activist and Osage County resident quickly began working to build relationships with local clerks in her state.

“I kept hearing Mike Lindell saying, ‘We gotta get rid of the machines! We gotta get rid of the machines!” Linda said as she explained that she was “all for getting rid of the machines,” but wondered, “replace it with what?? Rantz became determined to find a solution to the problem of replacing the voting machines. She began delving into election law and discovered a statute in Missouri election law that states individual counties have the right to make their own decisions about how they tally votes. She and her husband traveled to Louisiana after hearing about an effective system they created for hand-counting votes. They were so impressed with what they witnessed in Louisiana that she brought the details about the program to the clerk in Osage County, who agreed to replace the voting machines with the hand-counting system.

On April 4, 2023, in Osage County, MO, residents were introduced to the new hand-count system in a statewide election. Instead of watching their ballots being inserted into a machine that many voters distrust, they instead dropped their ballots into a secure ballot box and trusted the teams of Democrats and Republicans who volunteered to count their ballots, in the open, at the same facility where they voted.

The same method El Salvador uses.

The ballots get counted on a table where all the political parties have a right to be there to participate.

Oh.....and the registered voter rolls keeps everyone else from receiving a ballot- and presenting ID is mandatory, or you don’t vote.

Hand counted paper ballots are what was used in Illinois when I was an election judge and the Democrats were great at cheating using them. It is also what they used to cheat in Floriduh on 2000, Bush vs Gore.

Let’s just give up then. You seem very good at it. You can teach it to the rest of us.

“It is also what they used to cheat in Floriduh on 2000, Bush vs Gore.”

No it was not!

They had punch ballots and the argument was HANGING CHADS!

Those punch ballots were fed through a machine to tabulate. The questionable ones were kicked out to be counted. Hence, anything that even remotely resembled a punch hole was to be counted and the democrats fought tooth and nail to reject all Bush ballots and count theirs.
Eventually it went to the FLSC where they determined that is one county could be counted, ALL counties had to be recounted. The chief Justice of the FLSC wrote the opinion that it invited a ruling by the SCOTUS and equal protection.

It did, and all the SCOTUS did was ask how in the hell did the FLSC come to such a ruling while not stepping on all the other state rights.

The very same GD thing should have been done with TX and enjoining states VS PA. If Roberts wouldnt have had that yellow streak down his back and took that case, we wouldnt be in the fix with this scum president shi*ty pants now.

The USA set up a fair, honest and equitable electoral system in Iraq. You register, you show up at the polling station, you show ID, you match a clean voter register, the votes are counted openly

Funny we can't do the same here.

There once was a time where I thought the only way to "somewhat" assure 1(legal)person, 1 vote(in the digital age)...is to do away with the secret ballot, have a national database of every election, every vote...one that can be audited(not edited) by...every-body.

That, and do away with mail-in for everybody(going back to the former system of/for disabled/other).

But as I get older, I look around and see all the human filth on TV, as well as in public, and I've come to realize the permanent mental damage that was done (deliberately) to this country, by allowing the left almost total control over the institutions of governance, finance, education, information, entertainment, judicial system...

...as such, I now believe it is very possible that the majority of Americans are now effectively...brainwashed morons(and vote accordingly).

Only way to stop the Slouching Toward Gomorrah(at warp speed)...is to demand "affirmative action"/"equal rights" "quotas" to balance the above institutions.

Everything else(like trying to play/match "their games") is futile at this point.

We allow them to put perverts in elementary schools, while conservatives are thrown off of college campuses(with the blessings of administrators/law enforcement).

History has shown us, once an empire falls to that depth, it soon dies.

There simply is no easy solution at this point, we've allowed the cancer to spread for far too long.

Our enemies want us (as conservatives) to submit, become irrelevant...or die.

We must collectively (or individually) deal with that fact(and act accordingly).
