Voter Outrage Sparks Demands for Hand Counted Elections

During a recent government meeting, public concerns regarding election integrity and the use of voting machines dominated the discussion. Several speakers expressed frustration over perceived disenfranchisement and called for a return to hand-counted ballots in smaller precincts, arguing that this method would enhance transparency and trust in the electoral process.

One speaker highlighted constitutional provisions regarding election procedures, emphasizing that elections should be conducted by the people without reliance on machines or third-party entities. They raised concerns about the current training for poll workers, which reportedly includes instructions on handling ballots that may not be accepted by tabulators, suggesting a lack of confidence in the voting technology.

Another participant, Karen Royster, acknowledged the heightened emotions surrounding the upcoming election, labeling it as potentially the most significant in recent history. She expressed a belief that divine intervention plays a role in the electoral outcomes, urging officials to seek moral guidance.

Chris Brewer echoed sentiments of distrust towards the current electoral system, accusing officials of violating their oaths of office and calling for an end to what he described as election interference through the use of machines. He referenced allegations of illegal votes in previous elections and drew parallels between local voting issues and global protests against perceived electoral fraud.

The meeting concluded without any responses from the board members, who are restricted by law from addressing public comments during the session. The lack of engagement from officials left many attendees feeling unheard, further fueling their concerns about representation and the integrity of the electoral process.
