My prediction is: if there is a red wave, it is because our masters wanted it to happen. Which means it ain't good for you and me. I have 0 faith in any government from this day forward.

If we were just to adopt the Israeli system of voting, we could have confidence in it:

- NO MACHINES FOR ANY REASON
- paper ballots
- in person unless you are literally in the hospital
- ID checked and fact of that person voting recorded in public with exact time and place
- voting is at local school
- ballot dropped into large container with many other ballots
- exactly when voting stops, members of all parties each count all the ballots until their numbers agree
- numbers for that school are reported in public
- it becomes easy for anyone to add up totals by adding up all the schools

I hear variants of this often, but the world is far more chaotic than the "everything is rigged" meme. It's actually a pretty chaotic place despite organizations trying to get it under their control forever. Most leaders may get backstabbed at any point in time, or lose control over their populace if they just revolt enough.

I have to agree. Even the best-funded and organized deep state is not absolutely powerful. A lot of things happen even when the deep state doesn't want them to.

But things are more or less susceptible to deep state control depending on how they are organized. This is why we need to get back to simple paper ballots.

It's also why we need to get away from centralized points of control of the internet, like Google, DNS, and SSL. Search should be distributed, DNS should be blockchain-based, and encryption (if not authentication) should not require any kind of "certificate".

Centralization is what needs to be attacked. Without that, more and more control falls into the hands of those who would do evil. IMO. Fiat $$ creation is the best example of this imo.
