Scrap the voting machines. Manual counting (with randomly picked volunteers) is the only solution that guarantees trust in the process.
As the recent US elections showed, voting machines are open to the opposition saying "we only lost because the machines were hacked against us".
- toast0 6y agoCounting machines are fine as long as you can do a hand recount. The machines people are upset about in 2020 are actually pretty reasonable; unlike the machines people were upset about in 2000 which didn't create a paper trail.
- jhayward 6y ago> Manual counting (with randomly picked volunteers) is the only solution that guarantees trust in the process. This is naive. The Georgia Presidential election was hand-recounted, twice. The loser still claims it was stolen, incited an insurrection that sacked the Capitol while Congress was certifying the winner. When one party is solely dedicated to power, not democracy, none of your ideals or safeguards mean anything. They just don't care what anyone thinks as long as they can hold power.
- dheera 6y agoWhy not just have two vote count machines made by different manufacturers and just ensure that they produce the same counts?
