1.6% of US adults are trans or non-binary https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/06/07/about-5-o...

1.6 million in the US https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Tr...

3% worldwide https://www.statista.com/statistics/1269778/gender-identity-...

And considering the current climate, I can imagine these numbers are under reported.

I'm inclined to agree that no paper trail is a bad idea. It's interesting that of all the states you listed, only NJ went blue this election. You'd think democrats would be the ones more vocal about potential fraud from electronic voting.

I don't understand this "electronic voting machines are bad" myth. I voted with one of these machines for the first time this election and all it did was... print out my choices on a ballot. It takes all of 15 seconds to look over your votes and make sure they're correct. Then I manually put the ballot in a privacy sleeve, walked over to the ballot box, and inserted my ballot. The machine was a mere convenience that kept me from needing to manually circle my choices with a pen. Not much opportunity for widespread voter fraud in my opinion.

If the machines were switching votes so rampantly you'd think, of the millions of people who voted, more people would've raised concern at the polls when they noticed their vote for the president of the United States at the top of the printed ballot was switched.

Am I missing something?
