There's a lot to unpack in your comment. I disagree that the western world either hasn't faced or isn't currently facing the above issues.
Conventional efforts to strengthen voter enfranchisement address many of the points without the added stakes.
I don't see how the threats of underlying issues of crime and corruption are mitigated by making voting electronic. If thugs prey on voting stations and voters, it seems there are more apparent options available sans the added inherent risks to the voting system itself.
- z3phyr 7y agoIndia faced a lot of instances of booth capturing, where the lines of the police and security services were spread too thin by the sheer population count that was voting. About 1,00,00,00,000 people voting together between thousands of political parties and candidates! I am not wrong when I say that the west has never faced this. Why not have a machine then, which could make this task scalable and easier to manage?
