Where I vote, the machine prints out a paper ballot which is then scanned and counted before I leave.

    Where I vote, you fill out a paper ballot, you then scan it into a machine, which then spits out a receipt showing that your ballot was scanned and your votes tabulated properly.

    I don't want that. I want the times where I got a fake ID to vote where it was pencil or pen on paper.

    Then you're wasting their time and yours, as well as the effort to change anything. That's the funny thing about the "danger" of voter fraud, it rarely is a problem because of how little one vote alone has any power. Maybe a small local district that comes close to a tie. Not that your votes isn't important, but it's one drop in a bathtub of water. If no one votes, it's empty.

    But they want you to think that it's the few people who may try this that's the problem so they can put in ID laws for other purposes, and to deflect attention from the efforts of mass manipulation of results or the disenfranchising of large demographics in strategic areas. That isn't done by the voters, but by those in control or who work for them.
