Matt Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I gotta say, after the embarrassing showing in the Bush v Gore election, Florida really did fix their system. If we're still going to use paper ballots and hand counting (terrible idea), we should have every state replicate what they've done. There's no good reason that deep into the 21st century, this is still a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had they been able to count those votes as they came in, results would’ve been known Election Day. The Republican legislature can be thanked for that.

The feds should implement a system that the states use as consumers. Let Apple and the Hoover Institute at Stanford design and build it. We should be able to vote on our own devices over a 3 day span, with biometric validation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not only serve to increase accuracy, but to include more people into the electorate. That has the potential to make it extremely vibrant for democracy. And for just that reason, there will be resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull shit you can't tell me it takes 3 days to drop a pile of paper in to a slot that counts the vote . Minnesota did it in1 day . Now granted we did not check the validity of any of them but nor did any other state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
