In a groundbreaking decision, one county in the state of Arkansas has voted to eliminate the use of voting machines and transition back to paper ballots.
Former President Donald Trump was seen posting about the news on Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/109780852449319208
A quorum court in Cleburne County, Arkansas made the decision official after the majority voted to remove the voting machines from future elections.
Now, Cleburne will be considered a “paper ballot” county where votes are required to be hand counted.
According to officials with the Arkansas Voter Integrity Initiative Inc. (AVII), the vote came in response to AVII CEO Colonel Conrad Reynolds’ push for the removal of election computers.
Reynolds stated, “The machines do not read the names on the ballots, instead they scan barcodes, which humans cannot read.”
He continued on to say that, “They also utilize proprietary software that we are not allowed to examine. This all means voters cannot verify that their vote is being counted properly as mandated by state law.”
It is within Arkansas law that each county in the state is given the right to choose their own voting process.
Following this momentous vote, perhaps we will start to see a trend throughout other Arkansas counties…or states.
