Seems like burning an orchard for a few bad apples. It's this really that large of a concern vs voter fraud?

- snowwrestler 8y agoYes. The U.S. originally did not use secret ballots in federal elections and we switched to them because of widespread coercion. A durable record that maps votes to voters does not prevent voter fraud, it enables it.
- OrgNet 8y agocomputers enable easy mass voter fraud... so we need to stay with paper ballot or we need a way to see if our vote is in the total number of votes, coercion aside...
- 50korangutang 8y agoPostal voting allows the same type of fraud, so an electronic system would only be as vulnerable as our current system in this respect.
