If you can't be in Indianapolis with protest signs on July 7th at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 5 pm as the secretaries of state meet to have their posh party paid for by voting equipment vendors and other corporate sponsors , then send protest letters demanding elections that are transparent with integrity held with paper ballots hand counted at the precinct level.

1. We tend to get them from Democratic officials

We need to put more effort into electing Decratic clerks on the county level and Secs on the state level.

3. Not true about Detroit

Detroit and the surrounding Wayne County has had issues with elections for years

2. The integrity of elections is critical, but

Don't think paper ballots are the solution. I grew up when it was common for ballot boxes to disappear, Klansmen counting ballots for the benefit of guess who, or just stupid people who can't count doing it. But if paper ballots are one thing it takes to make people feel safe, I'm fine with it.

I think the actual balloting is fairly safe -- recognizing tallies can be manipulated just like paper ballots -- but the gerrymandering, voter rolls, ID BS, etc., can be manipulated to keep people from voting or make it more difficult. Post above is a good point too. As long as GOPers run everything, we'll never trust the process. Of course, if we are control, they'll never trust it.
