Ask HN: I Can't Register to Vote Because of Google's Recaptcha
I just solved 15 of their images and it keeps presenting me new ones... I want to switch to Democrat to be able to vote for Bernie in the primaries.
- ChrisGranger 8y agoWhich web browser are you using? I've heard that Tor users get more CAPTCHAs, but I'm not sure if that is the case or not.
- new_guy 8y agoThat would be an interesting way to rig an election, although Google* would have to know who you were planning to vote for before stopping or allowing you through. Maybe separate pages? or tracking which link the person came from like the candidates campaign emails. *absolutely not saying Google is actually doing anything like this, but it's an interesting thought
- luckylion 8y agoI don't think Google is trying to actively rig anything here, but I'm sure they can very accurately predict who you're planning to vote for. This rather sounds like what people have been finding out the hard way recently though: Recaptcha is broken and everybody relying on it is a terrible idea.
