Electronic voting machines suck, the comprehensive 2016 election edition

right. hence, i said “yet”.

i don’t, if it helps, purpose anyway to get there. it’s a strawman if you think i did. technology for technology’s sake… it’s great for the fun and interest of it… but if you want to be rational about things, don’t adopt technology just because newer is somehow better. it’s not always. and that’s okay.

to your point, there are public databases which are and have been hacked. we have a crazy hard time tracking down who’s been doing the hacks.

( you’re right most banks have good histories re: direct hacking. we have them, and their self reporting to trust. :confused: )

we already know the current voting machines have reporting, transparency, and verification errors. you proposed some mechanisms to make it better.

where i think we disagree is with a) why would we want to, and b) can we do so to the degree we need.

give it time. spend as much in research as banks do. just don’t use tax money in the process. not when we already have a solid solution already at hand.

if you like.
