Easy plan for honest elections.

Three part NCR paper. Pink, blue, yellow.

One copy to the ballot box. Counted by hand.

One copy to a precinct archive, under lock and key.

One copy to the voter.

Don't give me that crap about voters selling their votes if they get a copy.

Other countries have used this system.

Too much opportunity for graft and corruption.

However, this system has been used in countries where elections had been fraudulent.

...they worry about having to get ID...

...they worry about having their registration purged...

...I've met no people outside of political junkies who really worry that their votes aren't being counted.

At first blush, I like the idea of copies.
