It's easy to hack analog as well if the administration is in on it.

- iso947 7y agoSure with gerrymandering. I’ve been involved in two major elections in the last 12 months in the uk, one as a candidate. I couldn’t think of any way of significantly changing the votes without another party finding out. Can’t register fake people in bulk, can’t registrr normally non voting people for postal votes without them finding out, can’t vote as multiple people without a lot of co conspirators and without at least some finding out they’d already voted, can’t introduce fake ballots without many conspirators, can’t change ballots or lose ballots
- bradknowles 7y agoGerrymandering isn't the only solution there. If you're the secretary of state for a given state of the union, and you're in charge of the voter rolls, and you're running for office, then you are fully empowered to just remove anyone from the voter rolls who has a name you don't like, or who has a race you don't like, or who has a political affiliation you don't like. And you can stymie all attempts to uncover your malfeasance by just shoving all those requests in the drawer, where they get mysteriously lost.

- colejohnson66 7y agoI don’t think this would work. Isn’t Georgia in the middle of some lawsuits regarding their elections?
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 7y agoThat is not a property of paper ballots, that's just the property of a broken election system.
- iso947 7y agoBut that can’t be done en mass without people noticing and reporting it
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 7y agoNo, it isn't. You can't be "in on" a properly constructed election system, because all relevant steps are open to the public for any interested party to watch. Which is exactly the problem with digital voting: They can not be transparent while also preserving secrecy of the ballot.
