I don't know any of these people personally and have not decided who I will vote for but Mr Trosclair is running hard on going back to paper ballots. The Louisiana voting system is not connected to the internet at any point except from a clerk of court to the Secretary of state. Each voting precinct can be audited and the totals submitted can be tracked back to a clerk's office. We do need to pay more attention to absentee ballots and making sure that voters are legitimate, but paper ballots will set up back decades. Other states have real problems with being able to audit results. We don't really have that problem. I guess it has been since our candidates have generally been so crooked that we have multiple layers to try to stop fraud.

It does not need to be connected to the internet to have voting manipulated. People need to understand this.

This sounds good but La votes are NOT counted here. Where are dominion votes counted? Indiana where the business is registered? Eastern Europe? No one really knows and Dominion is not forthcoming about this. Wouldn't you feel better if your vote was counted in La?

This is utter nonsense, we did it for decades and had the votes counted by dinnertime. Paper ballots make it impossible to cheat.

Agreed that our current methods are pretty clean and traceable. The concern going forward is the push for Ballot Marking Devices. After all the flimflam of the committee meetings, the takeaway recommendation was for BMDs which is what they were gunning for from the onset. Sharon Hewitt being one of the BMD backers. I'm not a fan of hers over this.
We did put in an information request for the precinct papers throughout the state so we could reconcile them with the published totals from SOS website. They came back with a bagillion dollar cost and very long timeframe to produce. Improvement potential here is to have the results printed on standard paper and not the receipt paper that is so costly to scan.
Then again, there are receipt scanners that are very cheap that would do the job easily.

Paper Ballots are what causes Orleans Parish votes from being reported at 11 pm on election day to being reported 4 days after Election Days.
Why any Republican would support such an idea is far beyond me.
The reality is that LA currently has one of the most secure, if not the most secure, election system in the entire country. It's one of the very few things we got right.
People like Trosclair need to stop worry about what goes on in other states and pay attention to what works in this state.

There are many ways to cheat with voting machines. Connection to the Internet is only one.
Louisiana happens to be the only state in the nation where an election CANNOT be audited as there is NO paper trail.
A little more research and you will find that these things are 100percent true.
