Yes, I was surprised that hasn't been noticed by many commentators (if any?).
Florida cleaned up their voting processes and moved back toward 'old skool' paper ballots. And they swept the board, far exceeding the most enthusiastic polls who put the win within a few points (not 20!).

Then look over at AZ Gubernatorial race where there was a really strong ground game and media engagement by one candidate, and the other 'did a Joe Biden' and hid in the basement hoping the media would campaign for her instead. Shenanigans appear to be afoot for the second time in a row with the Dominion machines. And the lady that refused to debate, and was barely seen outside, appears to be beating out the one with all the poll momentum and coverage. Hmmmm....
Paper ballots is the way forward. There is a lack of trust in government (all levels) in general, so the solution to that is not more technology [respectfully disagree with Gato on that, re blockchain ideas] — normal citizens don't understand the full ins & outs of how these computer systems work now, so adding more complexity is not going to build trust, but quite the opposite, it will further suspicion that one side or the other can game the system. Going back to a low tech method that all of us can see and understand seems like the best move.
A lot of places have paper ballots but still have severe fraud - those are not the full story. If you watched 2000 Mules you'd know that those can be trafficked pretty easily. One of the things found in 2020 was that ballots were being printed in China and coming over the Mexico border.

The fraud is complex. Take the example of NY State, as uncovered by NY Citizen's Audit. It's pretty stunning what they found, *just* in the voter rolls! https://rumble.com/v1kun2j-ny-citizens-audit-presents-weaponized-voter-rolls-epochtv-sept-20-22.html
Good point. Probably nothing is going to stop all fraud but we should certainly make it as difficult as we possibly can.
Well said.
