I’m seeing many Americans frustrated with the overall process of voting. After 2020 there’s not much trust left in the legal process. Some are even suggesting to go back to only paper ballots. No technology. I see where their frustration is coming from, however, that would take even longer than it does now.
I think at the very least, we should have the ability to track our own votes from beginning to end! Knowing for a fact that how you voted stays the way you voted. And why the sticker for voting? Where’s the receipt?! We get receipts for literally everything else. Why not for something as life changing as the election? The majority of my anxiety during the election was if my vote would even matter. Or if it was going to be manipulated by the system. Technology has come so far and yet we don’t have a more organized process than this??
Plus why are we normalizing the extended process of counting votes? We’ve had months to mail in ballots. The deadline should be set on Election Day. Not dragged out. It’s too sketchy when that happens. Too much of a window for tampering.
