Walk into any store, from a convience store to a high-end emporium, and you know you are being video-taped, to guard against and detect any malfeasance.
Now switch to the unpleasant and disputed aftermath of Election 2020.
We have unseemly,
but critically important and passionately disputed,
arguments over what some of the poll workers actually did, i.e., how they handled the ballots.
We have signed and sworn affidavits alleging mishandling.
But others might contadict those allegations.
Further, we have many poll watchers claiming they were either kept too far from the ballot processing to effectively do their job, or in some cases not even allowed access.
And there really seems no effective, reliable wsy to resolve these dispites.
Each side will believe what it wants to.
For something as important to America as election integrity,
why are not all the vital actions and steps video-taped for later review,
so we can resolve these issues?
Among the poll watchers, why are there not video cameras?
Of course there would be an expense, but it really seems worth it.
Ensuring the cameras record all the critical actions will be s challenge.
Hopefully there is a way to do that.

Well, there were some surveillance videos after all. See this one from Georgia:
