Voting in NJ

I voted in New Jersey. What a joke. It took the precinct worker 4-5 tries to turn the machine on. For all I know they could have pushed the wrong button half way through the election and lost all the votes up to that point. Whose idea was it to even come up with these unverifiable machines in the first place?

Paper ballots are the best. Put them in a box in public view and when the polls close pull them out and count them, again in public view. Afterwards, seal the box in case a recount is requested. There aren't that many people voting at one precinct where a manual count could not be performed.

I read where they were supposed to have the paper ticket that was supposed to provide a paper trail of my vote. Had I known this feature had been delayed until June I would have voted absentee. That is what I am going to do from here on out.

B***S**T

I saw building 7 fall when nothing hit it. I saw the twin towers fall at free fall speed when over half of each building stood undamaged below it. I saw sparks fly and squibs detonate as the buildings fell. Now I see anyone who even raises the question of what really happened slammed in the press.

Yep, call me biased.

Jury is still out folks.

I hope it all turns out OK but I am reserving judgment until we get past that first unexpected event that Biden was warning us about (which is now expected) that is going to test our willingness to keep standing behind the man.
