I don't know? I didn't make such a claim, but I'll speculate a little anyway. Vote by mail is accomplished by trusting the postal service which has a good track record of not losing or mangling my messages and, at least where I live, heavy legal deterrents against tampering. I imagine a digital solution could be as or more secure, but it may not be more trustworthy. Especially if the software running it is opaque or I don't understand the math involved.
- usrusr 8y agoVote by mail is accomplished by accepting that a number of households/groups will cast a unanimous vote that would have been different votes if they happened in the enforced privacy of a voting booth. That might be an understandable opinion if it is accepted as a conscious trade-off, but if you pretend that it will never happen you are just lying to yourself.
