I don't understand how using the internet to vote will fix the flawed voting system. I think fixing fraud would probably be the best way to increase real voting. There is continuously fraud going on. You see the voter registrations for people that died years ago. You see the people at the polls voting more than once. I'm not voting this election because I don't believe my vote matters (and our candidate choices). People want to be heard, yet the corruption continues. I don't believe simply making it easier to vote will drastically increase voter turnout - real voters, that is.
- bradleyankrom 10y agoHasn't the notion of voter fraud been more or less debunked?

The amount of fake/dead voters registered and the number of recounts should speak for itself. Should it not? You can also at historical election numbers in which the people voting far outnumbered the inhabitants. You can also logically think about the process of counting votes and realize that that is an easy thing to mess with.
