We want ballots must be counted and secured at the location of voting and counting.

[HandsHealNow]

We want every single vote counted by hand

[HandsHealNow]

We want evert every single paper ballot counted by hand with 24/7 video

Holy cow Jennifer. I was actually buying into your Spiel there at first. Then you started referring to the 2020 election as being the most secure transparent election ever? Seriously! That's where you lost me.

[HandsHealNow]

Locally solid paper trail and hand counting with 24/7 video.

Anyone can pick up a registration form and drop it off with ID!

[HandsHealNow]

on line registration doesnt use signature match.

Question for the man from Colorado. How do you make sure that illegal immigrants aren't on the voting rosters? There's absolutely nothing to keep them from registering. If you allow them to acquire a driver's license and you register them to vote whenever they qualify then they are registered and they can vote.

I dont agree with comparing computrr banking and computer voting. Two different needs. The solutions are available, and didnt congress appropriate hundreds of millions for states to fix their voting procedures? Wheres that money going?

[fokkenhotz]

well YOU CAN'T SECURE THE VOTE with LEGALIZED DATA COLLECTION PER-EE-ID.. we have data collection protection policies here in mountain view but we wont let the rest of the country have it. a woodb uop

If humans wish to enter something with such complexity as the 4th, then they need to understand that they have to be transparent. There is no control there by one or a handful, that is impossible, Or else none of you would have free will and would literally be a copy of one another. Even if you decided to make a copy of yourself, both beings would have to have every single action, atom by atom, to remain the same person. If you two split and had different experiences, you might end up in disagreement when reunited.

Where is the diversity on this panel. This is why trust is difficult. There is no representation on a progressive panel. Why should we trust you.

Listen Go house to house ( like the postal service ) two people in each car and ask if the people want to vote, or the voter can book on the computer where he / she etc will be at what time for the pick up of the vote, the people in the vehicles can supply the voting forms, and each vote could be documented and put in a non traceable envelope, then the only problems could be in the voting rooms at the schools or churches etc with " standover " Supervision ( It could have happened to me once ), strange how something so simple could be so difficult

[suepalmer]

Thank God you are addressing this matter. What could be more important right now in America?

[daisymay]

this is California! Where is the latino representation on this panel. If you want to be credible the truly reprsent the population on your faculty. Or at least on this panel on this subject.
