Is AG going to put measure in 2024? Are the people going to vote for sane option if it is place?

  • Yes he is going to put it. Very unlikely the sane option would win, and the majority wants paper

    Votes: 0 0.0%
  • Yes he is going to put it. Sane option wins, and measures would go crash and burn.

    Votes: 0 0.0%
  • Not going to happen, AG is the only one of the few in a AR state level position who is sane.

    Votes: 1 100.0%

  • Total voters

Yeah that isn't the kind of paper ballots they are talking about.
No, but the absentee mail-ins are what they want to get rid of entirely if they can, or at least severely limit the qualifications for receiving/using them.

I do the paper through the scanner ... that isn't a 'voting machine'? Huh. Who knew.
The scanners have been around for a long time, and might be what all the propaganda/lies about "voting machine hacking" was in regards to.
The electronic voting machines though (at least here) have touch screen displays with a stylus, and walk you through how to make your selections and then submit it.
I still asked to do the paper ballot at the polling station until I just started requesting the absentee ballots every election.

i remember there was one complaint about a touch-screen voting machine and the woman was like "it's giving me candidate B when i vote for candidate A. it's clearly been hacked"

you know how the touch-screen calibrations can be a little off? yeah, that's exactly what this was. the candidate names were close enough together that the offset resulted in a "press" of the wrong candidate's name.

You have to perform ballet to vote? That is some liberal voter discrimination.
If you cannot do it, ask the gay couple next door for assistance. They will be happy to help. They are just soooo nice.


If for some reason you are on bad terms with them. Well . . . you shouldn't be voting anyway. Everyone gets along with them, what is a matter with you?!

Maybe AR hopes their example of paper ballots will influence NY and CA and others to do the same.

Once again you forgot to do your research. In 2022 Gubernatorial elections here in New York, when I went vote, we had to fill in a paper ballot. The paper ballot was then inserted into a scanning machine. So in reality when talking about methods of voting, AR is in fact ahead of New York by using a fully electronic voting mechanism. Thus AR is influencing NY to go paperless, but if the ballot measure passes AR would loose its ability to influence.

Please do some research before you post. You made yourself look like a fool here once again.
