It has a vague familiarity about it, doesn't it?

An NPR analysis of 2022 secretary of state races across the country found at least 15 Republican candidates running who question the legitimacy of President Biden's 2020 win, even though no evidence of widespread fraud has been uncovered about the race over the last 14 months. In fact, claims of any sort of fraud that swung the election have been explicitly refuted in state after state, including those run by Republicans.

The duties of a state secretary of state vary, but in most cases, they are the state's top voting official and have a role in carrying out election laws. Wisconsin is the only state included in NPR's analysis where the state secretary of state does not oversee its elections, though at least one Republican lawmaker there has floated the idea of changing that.

Trey Grayson, a Republican former secretary of state from Kentucky, said the trend is worrisome but that it also makes sense since polling shows a majority of Republican voters feel similarly. A recent NPR/Ipsos poll, for example, found that two-thirds of Republicans nationally feel like fraud helped Biden win.

"There's a lot of crazy going around," Grayson said. "You have people running for these offices where the most important duty is counting the votes and accepting the results even if you don't like the outcome, and these folks don't appear to be well-positioned to do that."

(CNN) - After more than a year of baselessly questioning the results of the 2020 election, some Republicans are casting doubt on how ballots are counted, part of a broader movement inspired by former President Donald Trump's lies about election fraud that is undermining confidence in America's vote.
In at least three states -- Utah, New Hampshire and Texas -- Republicans have pushed for banning traditional ballot scanning machines in favor of hand-counting paper ballots, an antiquated process that experts fear could inject error into an election system where very little has been found. Critics also worry that the inevitable delay in results from hand counting would be an opportunity for those looking to sow doubt about the outcome of future contests.

When same paper colour is used for different issues then the sides have a cutouts. The slips are usually of smallish size, multiple printed on a larger page and perforated. Latest at counting the votes of a page are separated. Then separated by issue (that's where the cutout comes to play on same coloured slips). Then the slips are inspected and invalid votes removed. The remaining are put into bundles, the slips of a bundle are counted manually and verified by a second person. In large precincts bank note counting machine are used, they are known not to make any errors.Vote counting at the precints is a civil duty (much like jury duty in the US), the number of people at work depends on the size of the precint. Generally speaking the local numbers are ready within four hours of closing, then a couple of hourse for the reports until all numbers perculate up to county and state level. Nowadays the reporting is computerized. What's special in Switzerland is that all voters receive the voting slips four weeks in advance with instructions and have time to fill them out, then carry them to the precint only to deposit in the collection box. No queues waiting for a voting machine to get free. Early voting is by dropping off the votes in a special envelope thru the post.

I was trapped by cat-in-lap and couldn't reach the laptop to change the channel without disturbing her, so I watched the whole thing. He also had Navarro on, as well as the man whose name I can't recall who organized the rally and then cooperated with the committee. He was the only one who came off as somewhat credible.
