- parent5446 10y agoIndeed, but the real fix would be a voting method that has defenses against it, as opposed to the electoral college, which is a lot easier to affect than more advanced systems that have been developed in more recent years.

- ThomPete 10y agoYou would still have to know where it was close.
- pvaldes 10y agoA lot of online companies classify millions of people by lots of variables each day. You can pay for this information.
- ThomPete 10y agoThats not what we are talking about at all. You need access to these machines somehow it's not about classifying people it's about getting access to the ballot machines and altering them or their results. Quite a different task.
- grzm 10y agoI think your parent was implying that some sort of classification would be used to predict where the vote would likely be close, so you would know which precincts to target. As I'm not the poster, this is just speculation of course, and can be worth the electrons used to transmit the comment :)
- pvaldes 10y agoYep, that was the idea.
