- rbecker 6y agoSo you audit the software. Then you enter the voting booth, and there's a voting machine in front of you. Bet your democracy it's running the same software?
- Shared404 6y agoPretty sure they were advocating for using physical ballots, not voting machines.
- pmoriarty 6y agoI got a physical ballot last time I voted, but when I went to submit it, it was placed in to... an electronic vote counting machine. This also defeats the point of democracy. Machines can not and should not be trusted for voting, no matter what fancy schemes are dreamt up for to make them supposedly verifiable. Voting can not be legitimate unless machines are taken completely out of the loop and humans are the ones doing all the vote counting by hand from end-to-end. Yes, there can still be fraud, but it will of necessity be quite limited and relatively easy to detect than if voting and/or vote counting was done by electronic means.

- Shared404 6y agoI concur with you both, I badly phrased what I was trying to say. Thanks for saying it properly.
