TRANSKRIP 🔗
Cindy Mac: I don't want the government telling me just you know just trust me. I want a system transparent enough where I can see why I should trust it. I want trained observers. I want secure ballots. I want accurate voter rolls. I want identity verified. And I want the numbers to be reconciled. I want the records preserved and I want mistakes caught and corrected. And when somebody intentionally violates election laws, I want that person held accountable. And we've said we have seen quite a bit of that recently, but normally we don't see that. the peaceful transfer of power depends on more than counting ballots. It depends on the American people believing the count. The winner needs to know they won fairly, and the loser needs to be able to say, I don't like the results, but I believe the count. A republic cannot survive very long if half the country only trusts an election when its candidate wins. So don't tell Americans to stop asking questions. Build an election system that can answer those questions.
