Bernie Sanders | I Know Where I Came From
Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders' Facebook Page
Sanders writes: "My experience as a kid, living in a family that struggled economically, powerfully influenced my life and my values. Unlike Donald Trump, who shut down the government and left 800,000 federal employees without income to pay the bills, I know what it's like to be in a family that lives paycheck to paycheck."

HB 316 calls for the state to purchase new voting machines that have paper ballots, with one strange caveat: The paper ballots will have the written name of the candidate, but the actual vote will be recorded on a bar code that only the machines can read. Now, unless you’re Neo in The Matrix, nobody knows how to read bar code, so it’s perfectly possible that some corrupt politician, or “glitch,” or foreign power could hack into the voting machines and have the bar code read something different than the actual writing. Why would a ballot have what amounts to “small print” unless you were trying to hide something? Like all villains, Fleming is arrogant and couldn’t help but unintentionally brag about his evil plans because he believed nobody would stop him.
UNBELIEVABLE: House Bill 316 author @flemingbarrya admits that voting machines under his bill won’t be fully audited until 2024 ()— a HUGE gift to voting machine vendors like ES&S.
Enough already. We need #handmarkedpaperballots. #gapol
