Wow, this is one of the very few oppinions me and Musk share.

@OP why add an acronym when it is just a twitter post that doesn't even mention said acronym?

Yup, mail voting every time, with dropoff locations everywhere. There's a paper trail, so recounts can be done if we suspect issues.

I'm not worrried about voting machine fraud, I just don't see the point.

came to say that mail in voting was the most secure method.

I'm worried about voting machine fraud when there is no paper trail, since that is how Kemp stole an election and got away with it.

From what I can tell, Kemp didn't steal the election (btw, that's a left-leaning news source according to this site). If anything, it encouraged more Democrats to get out and vote, not less.

I was thinking of the wrong election. When the state gets sued over votes and those votes just so happen to be erased, that is suspicious af. But that wasn't 2018. Kemp wasn't running in the election where GA wiped the hard disks, but he was in charge at the time.

The 2018 election where he was able to remove voters from the registry and close poll sites is just standard conflict-of-interest, I suppose.

Or in a non-conspiratorial vein, it's literally his job to remove obsolete voters from the registry and ensure there are enough (and not too many) polls to keep costs in line.

I don't know anything about that guy to know if he's acting in good faith or not. I don't live in Georgia, and I've only been there for a couple days ever in my life. Maybe he's a corrupt pile of crap, or maybe he was just doing his job. The news on this is crazy slanted, but it seems like he was at least acting within the law.
