The best way to avert shenanigans in the vote tally is to vote absentee....

I believe the only way to assure a fair count is to have a paper trail that can be counted by hand, inc case something happens.

And voting absentee leaves a paper trail.

As it stands now, forgetting for a moment about fraud, a power outage at a polling location could wipe out a whole precinct or two of votes. The only way to reconstruct that is by contacting all the people who signed in up until the polls to come back and vote again.

I know so many people turn away when they see voting fraud and believe that nothing like THAT could ever happen in the US of A. But given the fact of major demographic shifts taking place right now, the rich white folks very soon will no longer be able to "play the race card" as a way to protect their holdings.

These captains of capitalism have to consolidate their "winnings" now before the Casino, formally known as the "free market system", is shut down by the sheer force of people who are not "of color" (bland would be good) voting.

That, I truly believe, is why the race card is being played, bubbling right below the surface. And the blands who let themselves be swayed by the "danger" of black, brown, yellow and moca, are desperate targets just right for manipulation.

Vote Absentee if you can. At least we know these ballots can be counted without any help what so ever from a machine owned and operated by the Mormon Mafia.
