heck yes! At least MO will have fairer elections again. Still need to make the ballots public so that everyone can audit them to get it all the way.

No, the right to a secret ballot is essential. Make them public and we'll have huge amounts of harassment. I honestly think that would be a powerful weapon in the hands of "activists" which would shift the balance of power in their favor. Remember that in many companies, being a Republican is practically a fireable offense.

Better to have open transparency with a bit of "harassment" than corrupt leadership frauds.

If bitcoin and banks can manage precious funds with levels of openness, security, and transparency, it's fucking obvious they could do the same for elections if they wanted to.

Secret ballots enable fraud, that is where we are now. If companies realized how many republicans they have in their rolls they would not threaten termination

Agree. Open ballots is a terrible idea. All types of audits have worked perfectly well with the secret ballot. Also, the only reason to repeal mail-in voting is to make it harder for what the governor considers the "wrong" people to vote. In a number of states, well before Covid, voting by mail has gone on with nary a hitch or challenge.
