It's worse than dead, it's born again.

The headline is underselling it. The settlements were part of the deal. They were literally bought off.

Do you have a source so I can learn more about this?

In the article that was posted.
Thats Alex Isenstadt of Axios they are referencing and provided a link to within the article.

Swing states and blue states need to immediately switch all voting back to paper only and hand counted ballots.

who do we talk to about that? State board of election?
raynethackery@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 319d
I think it would depend on the state and if methods of voting are specified by regulation or by law. If you have a State Board of Election, you could start there.

Please tell me they have to give me a paper ballot if I ask.

Paper ballots matter if there is a trusted chain of custody and reliable mechanism to count them. It is looking less and less like that will be the case.

Yes and no.
Red states? Yeah, I will be... very shocked if any ever even turn "purple" again.
But blue states? That would still require controlling the officials who count the votes which often goes straight down to the county level. It is why the people who have been insisting that Christopher fucking Titus is the world's bravest whistle blower and proved that the 2024 election was stolen... are idiots. Because it would require trump and musk to have usurped government at essentially every single level without anyone ever finding out.
This? This is fucked. I am still somewhat optimistic that most blue states will rapidly shift even more towards paper ballots (which we never should have moved away from but...) but... yeah. So, most likely it just further polarizes things.
Now, whether the rapist in chief and his pedophile protecting cronies have any intention of actually obeying the result of elections... how is Adelita Grijalva doing?

To those of you who thought your vote didn't matter: it doesn't anymore.

What are you reading?
I'm on Full Spectrum Resistance, Volume One, among a few others.

At least we all know for 100% certainty now that our votes on these systems will be fucked.
MuskyMelon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 319d
110% certainty but with paper receipts.

So are those settlements going right back to where they came from? This feels super grifty...
