This is just another example of the state trying to control and manipulate the electoral process to maintain power

Whether it's Democrats or Republicans, both sides are just fighting over the same corrupt system that prioritizes their interests over the people's. Hand-counting paper ballots sounds great in theory, but it’s still being overseen by the same institutions that have a history of suppressing voters and rigging elections. The real issue here is that we’re constantly being told to rely on these flawed systems instead of organizing ourselves outside of them. Elections are just a band-aid on a broken system that doesn’t actually represent us. We should be building community power directly and rejecting the state’s control over our lives.
