(146,317 posts)two elections by a complete, state-wide recount. Voters mark their ballots, which are read by optical scanners. After each election a random sampling of precincts is recounted. Nobody know which precincts they will be. The two complete, statewide recounts in 2008 and 2010 demonstrated the lack of manipulation of any results.
Thanks for asking. Minnesota has fair, honest elections. We insist on that, and so that's what we have. Other states will have to do the same. This is a state-by-state issue. The voters of each state have to clean up their states' election systems.
It is that simple. If they do not insist, they will get the same old crap. The federal government cannot ensure honest elections. States must do that.
What state do you live in? How are its elections handled? Do you trust them? If not, then now is the time to being insisting on changes in your own state.
