Have the American people gotten lazy? It’s not like we have an election every week or month. Isn’t our election important enough to be sure we count every vote? Why are we always in such a hurry to get the results? This happens every four years and we want the results like yesterday.

Why would anyone trust a computer to count anything? Hasn’t hacking computers been proven.

When hand-counting – people take an oath – A MACHINE DOES NOT TAKE AN OATH. And, that is the rest of the story.

Me, myself, and I are still asking CNN to explain the following/with no answer:

Republicans are currently espousing that Democrats are in trouble for the upcoming 2022 House and Senate elections due to the Biden Administration’s decisions on the many crises that the current Administration has created and ignored. Unfortunately, the Democrats have a hidden ace up their sleeves, the Hammer Scorecard voting software. The Democrats label this as conspiracy theory and claim “Move on….NOTHING to see here” and expect the American people should not believe their lying eyes. The issue is shown in the attached video of the CNN election coverage clearly shows:

1) At the beginning of the video, the vote count is
TRUMP 1,690,,589
BIDEN 1,252,537

2) On the next update, the vote count is
TRUMP 1,670,631
BIDEN 1,272,495

That is a REDUCTION OF 19,958 VOTES FROM TRUMP’S TOTAL
and an INCREASE OF 19,958 VOTES TO BIDEN’S TOTAL.

Are Conservatives, Republicans and Independents going to close their eyes and not believe “their lying eyes”? Until this issue is not just swept under the rug, considered a conspiracy theory and mathematically reviewed, the Democrats have control over US elections.

Another look at hand-counting ballots
Rich Paces

There has been a fair bit of bad press in regard to election integrity and hand counting paper ballots. I also understand that a petition “to support Bob Reeves and electronic voting and oppose Rich Paces” is being circulated. So first, I want to clarify that I too support Bob Reeves. I have never expressed a lack of confidence in Bob and his staff to run our elections. In fact, I have repeatedly stated that Bob and his team do a good job running our elections. I would like to see him continue and get the job done. I understand his concerns about hand counting. It will take more effort. However, polls show that over 60% of all eligible voters do not trust our election systems.

Election integrity was the number one legislative priority coming out of the Kerr County Republican Convention as well as the Statewide Republican Convention last year in Houston. On Aug. 28, the RNC issued a resolution urging a return to excellence in American voting and elections. The RNC recognized that ensuring the integrity of our voting and election administration is critical and foundational to maintaining a civil and decent society decentralized from a federal government as the Founders intended and have resolved to support the rights of counties and states to implement voting procedures that do not require the use of machines and those that implement hand counting procedures that are fully auditable. Our elections ecosystem has numerous vulnerabilities, including voter registration data, e-poll books and electronic voting machines. These vulnerabilities were well defined in the Election Integrity Town Hall held on Aug. 22 by various experts (https://handcountroadshow.org/events/kerr-county-tx/).

Hand counting paper ballots has been used as a method to tabulate votes in Texas for many decades. Numerous countries hand count ballots, including Germany, with over 65 million people. With the advent of electronic tabulating systems, hand counting continued in only a few small counties and municipalities. It is also used to recount ballots. However, with growing concerns about electronic voting vulnerabilities, hand counting is resurging. A demonstration of a Chapter 65 ballot hand count method was provided at the Town Hall and a video made of the team counting 150 ballots (November 2022 general election ballots with 20 races on three pages). It took 2 hours and 14 minutes (67 ballots per hour). The video is available at: https://rumble.com/v3frsvw-kerr-county-ballot-hand-count-demonstration.html.

Has everyone read where states have had problems with fraud and that is still up in the air (courts) about the 2020 election?
