Electronic voting machines suck, the comprehensive 2016 election edition

Yeah, except voting machines have been shown beyond the shadow of a doubt numerous times, right up until this very day not to be “safe and effective”. They’ve been shown over and over to be unreliable, often gamed, and almost entirely unfit for the claimed use. They may, in the future be a good option, but they’re definitely not ready for prime-time, as they suffer from lack of transparency, reliability and are usually full of piles and piles of undisclosed unpatched vulnerabilities.

It’s more like going to a medical conference and seeing an enclave of public health guys recommending a higher age for a woman’s first mammogram, because the current schedule isn’t doing any better than if they raised the age by five years.
