Paper Ballots, Voting Machines & The Elon Musk Factor

Paper ballots aren’t the issue—it’s how they’re counted. While many states use paper ballots, they’re fed into tabulators, leaving the election process vulnerable.

David Clements breaks down why messaging matters. Some politicians tread lightly, afraid to push too hard, while others call for full transparency and hand-counted ballots. Even Elon Musk’s name enters the conversation—could his manufacturing mindset help design a better election system?
