Why do people assume that a hand count can not be corrupted?

 

Weren't there hand counts after the 2020 election that verified the machine count, but were still rejected by the Trump fanatics?

I would like to see a return to verifiable voting

No need to return to any previous time or procedures.  The voting machines have never shown to be inaccurate in a single instance even after the "gold standard" of hand counts.... your wish has already come true.

At the end of the day it's a subject that grinds on all sides. No one wants to ever admit defeat, hence giving out participation awards to kids, its teaches them they are still in it and somebody must have cheated to get the bigger awards. Like claiming the vote was rigged  or stolen. Where do we begin to end the appeasement of all. 

Here's a thought.

 

My Thai son loves sport and he's done well at several sports.

 

He has 3 kids who alllove sports and he enourages them to participate in a lot of competitions.

 

If one of his kids have a win, son and his wife congratlate the child and they sit for a while and analsye why  they won.

 

But of course all 3 kids cannot win all the time. Son and his wife quickly say:

 

• - 'Never mind, there's more competitions coming up and we have learned how to train better etc.'
• - 'Nobody can be a champion all the time and never get second or 5th or whatever, that's not realistic, some days out bodies work better than other days.
• - Some people (adult and kids) are really good at some sports and many other things in life (example cooking) but are not so good at other things. That's life.

• - 'Other kids need to win sometimes and made their mummy and daddy proud, just like you.

 

It helps.
