If they need persuasion, remind them that Iran and China can hack the pentagon so...guess what? They can hack OUR votes. Works like a charm.
If you don't get judgy, some will mention that they are disillusioned with the nutballfaction of their party! Bonus!
We can bipartisanly get back to paper ballots. By the mid-terms! Our constitutional right to vote and have the votes counted in the open, in public ('member that?), is something we can get all fight for. Right now.

because we can hack voting machines and they won't understand what happened.

(20,176 posts)5. Some states have laws against paper ballots.
I know because I grew up in CT which has had such a law for nearly 50 years. (On the grounds that paper ballots were/are insecure and easily faked or manipulated.)
They've switched to the same electronic machines as everybody else but my first election, in 2000, we were voting on mechanical-lever machines because that's what the law required.
