If you are really serious, does that mean that the county must provide iPhones to those that <GASP> don't have one?

- jcarreiro 15y agoI was being a bit facetious, yes. But voting electronically would solve this problem, assuming that you could trust the voting software! Public terminals could be provided for citizens without computers/smart phones/netbooks/tablets/implants/whatever.
- jcarreiro 15y agoJust curious: am I being voted down for suggesting that a society use electronic voting? If so, oh, the irony!
- archangel_one 15y agoI imagine you've been downvoted (not by me) because it was an overly simplistic answer - it's obviously not as easy as "have everyone vote electronically". The various debacles with voting machines over the past few years have shown that you can't simply assume the software is trustworthy, let alone having people dialling in to vote on their own phone. And the point of the article was that more technology may not always be the best solution...
- rimantas 15y agoThe problem with electronic voting is that you cannot have both anonymous and trustworthy voting.
