(7,394 posts)C'mon, there's plenty of evidence, reams of it.
The voice in your post -- the subtext -- it says more about this thread than any other comment.
Agree with me on the following statements: Some people just think They're Right. Democracy is secondary to that fact in their minds. Electronic voting is a tempting pathway to power, especially in these early stages, when states contract with private firms to provide these services. Any SOS that believes that He's Right, especially one under pressure from a lobbyist for forty billionaires, might just cave in to the temptation to Just Let It Happen. In its current form, electronic voting state-to-state is an abysmally dangerous way to conduct an election, on its face. It is a practice that cannot be defended.
Canada counts all their paper ballots in a day.
A Bad Cop can damage an entire town. A bad teacher can damage an entire generation. A bad election can destroy the world.
Why not make sure?
