25. The questions had to be asked
and what better forum? Any of these people get defensive when citizens are more knowledgeable than they are about their own full-time jobs!

I do not agree, though, that paper ballots are in any way safer from fraud. The only way "voter-certified" paper ballots can be verified is by hand, and once again it comes down to who does the counting and who makes the judgement calls.

Fraudulent computer code would at least leave a record of itself, if an expert were looking for it. Paper ballots have been "stuffed" without detection for generations.
