Former U.S. congressman, operative pleads guilty to election fraud charges

Luckily, Justice Department and FBI will likely have no incentives for investigating that given how they actively positioned themselves in the political debate. So we may never find out.

Best option is paper ballots that are machine-readable and human-readable.

Cryptography doesn't help; what you need are processes which make fraud difficult (for instance, observers with line of site to all ballot boxes from when voting starts until they're counted; cross-checking counts of blank, spoiled, and voted ballot papers before & after voting, translucent ballot boxes that are clearly empty at the start of election day, etc.,)

For some reason progressives are against voter ID laws. I've said that before and will say it again: Most of EU requires ID to vote. I will support Republicans that want to do this. It is sad to bring EU in the picture to convince progressives but it is a magic word that somehow brings logic and reason. We shouldn't have to say "They do it in EU, so it must be good".

People have stopped thinking for themselves. Anything to improve integrity of election is good. Want to put 4k cameras during vote counting process? I'll vote for that. More transparency and integrity, not less. I really don't give a shit which party wants to propel this.

This person is actually a repeat offender with a history of abusing his office. https://www.inquirer.com/news/ozzie-myers-convicted-abscam-p...

It sounds like you're advocating for something like the SAFE Act:

So, the Democrats are the racist right-wingers, and Mitch McConnell is the progressive in this story?

Note that, on their own, paper ballots don't actually address the attack described in the article, though the bill provides funding for mechanisms that would.
