Several provisions of President Donald Trump’s executive order on elections have run into obstacles in court. But others are quietly moving ahead, at least for now, with big potential implications for state and local election officials and the voting systems they rely on.
In Montgomery County, Ohio, for example, residents can choose to mark their ballots either by hand, or using a ballot-marking device that prints out a paper ballot with a summary of their choices, alongside a machine-readable code reflecting those choices. Voters can verify their selections before submitting their ballots into a tabulator, which scans the code and records the votes.
At least 85% of voters in a typical election choose the option that relies on the machine-readable codes, Jeff Rezabek, the county elections director, estimated.
I’m sure he won’t try to scam American voters more than he already has. /s

Gotta get ahead of those midterms with the wildly popular current situation. Let the rigging begin.

Trump: „First off, let me tell you. There can be no paper trail. That’s always been my motto. I own that one. See what I did there? I even eat and flush paper trails so you know how I feel about them. Never any good that paper. But if there has to be paper it’ll have to be coded in a way that only I can interpret it. That sounds like a vote for me right? Anything we can do to make it more difficult to vote or confusing. I love the confused just like I love the uneducated. Let me tell you about paper ballots marked by hand. They’re evil. Now that you’ve voted for me you’ll never need a recount. I promise you. We’re going to count all of the good votes. Every one and make sure we keep this country great. No one but me can do that. Voting is privilege and we’re going to make sure illegals aren’t voting anymore. You’re going to see the hugest change in vote totals without them. Believe me. Without millions of illegals voting republicans will win everything. It’ll be great.“

Trump and Elon had a bit of hard time cheating last election. It worked though especially in NY where Kamala got zero vote .
They want to improve and make it easier to cheat next election. That’s progress for these bastards.

I’ve been denying and denying this, but now I truly believe Trump is going to ramp up ICE raids nearer to the midterms in a super violent way to try to provoke violence from the public at protests and then he will enact martial law and suspend midterm elections.
His ball lickers are 1000000% working on this scenario right now and how to serve it up and serve it to the courts.

I imagine any vote selection(s) for Democrat or Independent candidates will automatically be voided and null in the system.

My best guess as to the „plan“ here:
1. Force through the legislation making these new machines mandatory, but do so „just“ before the elections.
2. Ensure that counties get 1 machine each as „that seems fair“ while supplies are limited
1. Except that could mean a rural county with 5,000 people gets 1 machine, while a large county with 1,000,000 people gets… 1 machine.
2. Force it so that votes ONLY count up till midnight on voting day (they have done this before)
3. This means rural counties get an advantage overall since you can only shove so many people through a single machine so fast.
4. This effectively „cuts“ the population advantage of denser areas which tend to be more democrat leaning.

This is something that is overlooked but in 2016 and 2017 there were a lot of conservatives investors filing for voting machine patent’s. Including his daughter.

He said no one would have to vote again. And, still so many people naively thinking we only have to deal with him another 3.5 years. Ha! It’s going to take a revolution to drag these traitorous bastards out of office. And, I’m not saying don’t vote, but we know they’ll make sure those votes don’t count.

At least 85% of voters in a typical election choose the option that relies on the machine-readable codes, Jeff Rezabek, the county elections director, estimated.
So Rezabek is closely watching what happens with a provision in the executive order that [calls for mostly banning the use of such codes](https://www.votebeat.org/2025/03/28/trump-executive-order-elections-bans-barcodes-qr-codes-explained/) (except where required for disability access), and what it would mean for the millions of dollars’ worth of already-certified voting equipment he can’t easily or quickly replace.
Getting tips from Putin, I see.
so it will be rigged even more?
