**Trump Directive Aims at Ballot Barcodes Amid Misinformation Concerns: A New Era of Election Shenanigans**
In a bold move that has left political analysts scratching their heads and conspiracy theorists dancing in the streets, former President Donald Trump has issued a directive aimed at eliminating ballot barcodes. “Barcodes are just like those little black dots on the back of cereal boxes,” Trump declared at a recent rally in a cornfield, “They’re just waiting to be scanned by the deep state!”
The directive, dubbed “Operation No More Dots,” aims to replace barcodes with something far more secure: hand-drawn smiley faces. “If you can’t trust a barcode, you can trust a smiley face,” Trump explained, gesturing wildly. “I mean, who would ever think of cheating with a smiley face? It’s just too happy!”
Critics, however, are skeptical. “This is just another ploy to distract us from the real issues,” said local conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed ‘Barcode Whisperer’ Bob “The Dot” McGee. “Next, he’ll want to replace voting machines with Magic 8 Balls. ‘Will my vote count? Ask again later!’”
In a surprising twist, Trump’s directive has garnered support from an unexpected ally: the National Association of Smiley Face Artists (NASA). “We’ve been waiting for this moment,” said their president, Sunny McSmiles. “Finally, our art can be used for something important—like democracy!”
As the nation gears up for the next election, one thing is clear: whether it’s barcodes or smiley faces, the only thing we can count on is a good laugh. And maybe a few more cornfield rallies.
