New regs: Counting paper ballots forbidden

Most states prohibit elections officials from checking on optical scan tallies by examining the paper ballots. In Washington, Secretary of State Sam Reed declared such spontaneous checkups to be "unauthorized recounts" and prohibited them altogether. New Florida regulations will forbid counting paper ballots, even in recounts, except in highly unusual circumstances. Without paper ballot hand-counts, the hacks demonstrated below show that optical-scan elections can be destroyed in seconds.


If that checks out, I think it goes a long way toward showing an organized attempt to subvert democracy. I've always suspected that, once in power, people that were 'elected' via a rigged system would pass laws to cover their tracks. Indeed the timing of such laws may be used to determine when and where cheating has occurred.
