Potentially reducing cost while increasing voter turnout
- rwmj 8y agoWhere I live, the paper ballots are collected, moved and counted by volunteers (in big open halls and other public spaces where anyone can go along and watch). So I guess cost doesn't have to be an issue. Voter turnout: People prefer screens to paper or something? Sounds odd that voter turnout would be affected by the exact method of voting.
- r-bryan 8y agoMaybe we've been looking at the wrong cost. As you suggest, voting machines wouldn't make it cheaper to count the votes. They would make it cheaper to hack the election! "No matter how cynical I get, I just can't keep up." --Lily Tomlin
- deathanatos 8y agoI honesty don't see how electronic voting machines would increase voter turnout. How would there be a (significant) cause/effect there?
