Why is the software in private hands. How about 1 system, publically supported, with open source so anyone can check the software. This state by state system is a joke…why vote with this system?

EXACTLY. Fully open-source software is necessary, no proprietary black boxes should be allowed for something so crucial as the US election system.

The patchwork state-by-state setup is a big part of why elections have been a mess, particularly since the introduction of the Dominion and ES&S & other electronic, computerized, touch-screen systems.

A change is needed now, and it has to be forced by ordinary people, and real election-integrity groups, unlike the totally fraudulent "True the Vote."
