Considering that LA county has 44% more voters than Citizens, I would consider that quite a hack.

Let’s put in some mandatory voter ID requirements and see how much the left cares about ballot integrity


Amen.

Otherwise, this is just a (another) Dem cookbook.

Here’s my proposal:

Photo ID check
Paper ballots
Vote counting machines which aren’t connected to the internet
Ending of ‘vote by mail’

Won’t cost a billion and nearly foolproof from any tampering by liberals or their strawmen.


One more item:
Proof of citizenship.

We don’t need cyber security; we need voter ID with pictures.

We need to bury the “voting dead,” and have serial numbers on paper ballots. We need to preserve all election data for a minimum of two years. We need facial scans of every voter.

As soon as elections become centralized and “protected” they become highly vulnerable to manipulation. Perhaps that’s the goal.

Elections should be managed at lowest level possible, with no connectivity or planned similarity.

THIS is real stability.

BS. Remove all aspects of the voting system from the internet. Switch to non digital voting methods. Problem solved. The democrats would only be asking for this if they had a way to cheat it.

Voting machines need to be outlawed.

Scanned paper ballots with serial numbers are the only secure way to conduct elections. Serial numbers need to be coded, not numerals.

Republicans should demand the bill include a provision against domestic vote fraud.

The FBI needs to add fake names in every precinct - if those people ‘vote’ then the election results are cancelled and the precinct re-votes.

The ‘dead’ don’t vote by themselves... most fraud is done by
voting the people who don’t show up to vote...

More like election security for incumbent Democrats...

They are not to be trusted. It is literally so easy to see the truth regarding Democrats. They promote slavery, chaos, misery, and death. You don’t need to remember anything else.

Paper ballots. That’s more security. Voter ID and making sure only citizens vote. Ink on the finger too.
