At this point, 31% of eligible voters in Israel have cast their votes already. That's about 2.23 million votes which is a record at this point on election day. A lot of people are interested in the outcome of this one needless too say. 31.5% voted by noon up from 28.4% in 2022.
It should be noted that Israel does NOT use electronic voting machines. They go old school: paper, pens and ballot boxes to be counted (twice) at the end of the day in full view of everyone and then they report the results securing the ballots in case there is a challenge and a recount is needed.
Of course, no one else in the MSM or even the fake alt-media will point that out or it's significance to us at this particular point in time.
But I'm not like other people... not like other lefties... so I will.
'Some 7.3 million Israelis are eligible to vote Tuesday to elect the 26th Knesset...
According to the Central Elections Committee, over 12,000 polling stations and some 18,000 ballot boxes have been prepared for Tuesday’s vote, with approximately 100,000 workers overseeing the process...
Voting is conducted using paper ballots. Behind a privacy shield, voters select from piles of paper slips, each bearing a party’s name and identifying code of up to four Hebrew letters, place their chosen slip inside an envelope and deposit it in a ballot box...' Times of Israel
Paid influencers will read this and try to spin it as some kind of oversight in terms of transitioning to an electronic system or they will make up some other BS narrative to explain the reasoning behind this fact but I'm here to tell you that is bunk. Israel doesn't use electronic voting machines because they are designed to steal elections... and the Israelis know it.
“Technology is not suitable for every area of life, especially elections,” Orly Ades, who served as head of Israel's Central Elections Committee for 16 years until her retirement in May, tells Calcalist. “It is precisely the low-tech nature of elections that is their strength. In most Western countries, people also vote with paper ballots. This is not because of a lack of technological maturity. The ballot creates robust processes. There is always the option of going back to the physical ballots if they need to be examined or recounted. There is always a record to return to, examine and verify.”...
But convenience, efficiency and speed are secondary considerations in an election. More important are reliability, public trust, the ability to verify and document results, and protection against fraud, coercion and attempts to manipulate the vote on a large scale...
“The existing system in Israel best allows for control, reconstruction and the ability to go back and recount the ballots,” said Dr. Shahaf Zamir of Reichman University and the Hebrew University. “The manual ballot method, when the ballots are kept together with all the other election materials, allows for the most accurate verification when someone challenges the election results.”...'

Technology is not suitable for every application unless of course the application we are talking about is focused on wrestling control of the future of our nation from the masses and giving it over to the oligarchs.
Technology is not suitable for every area of life, especially elections. No truer words were ever written. Paper, pens and plexiglass. I've been on that kick for decades now and it's one of the reasons I have lost websites and YouTube channels in the past and one of the reasons I am about to lose this one.
However...
'In France, voting is conducted using paper ballots placed in envelopes and deposited in transparent ballot boxes. The count is manual and takes place through a multistage process involving several counters.
Britain and Canada use paper ballots marked by voters with an X. The counting is conducted manually in the presence of candidate representatives and independent observers...
Germany uses a similar paper-based system, with manual counting that citizens are allowed to observe...
Japan is even more conservative. In national and most local elections, voters write the name of a party or candidate by hand on a paper ballot.' CTECH
Whatever happens in Israel today one problem they wont have is wondering how the secret proprietary software owned by a mega-corporation with it's own incentive in terms of the election outcome counted their votes. That's not a thing they have to worry about.
And they don't have to worry about losing years of their hard work because they dared remind folks that sometimes low tech is better. Especially when it comes to elections.
Most of the civilized world agrees with me... even Israel.
