Exactly! Every legislator should be given 100 completed ballots from their state and be asked to count them by hand. The same ballots should then go through a tabulator. Assess the results fir speed and accuracy.

How can the USA negotiate a deal with Russia without Ukraine being at the table? He has no authority to cede Ukrainian land to Russia. He negotiated a deal in Afghanistan with the Taliban without the Afghanistan government, and we know how that turned out.

Is the idea of tariffs to raise money, or is it to encourage domestic manufacturing? So, the sellers of foreign products "dump " them on the US market to partially offset tariffs & the US importer eats the rest of the tariffs. The US importer has less revenue to expand and hire.
