On the other hand, Brazil have been electronic voting exclusively since ~2000 with no evidence of fraud/mistakes since then, AFAIK.
If it seems to be possible in a country like Brazil, why not in Canada/UK/USA?
- SketchySeaBeast 4y agoFair enough, but is Brazil a target that would be valuable to destabilize by electronic tampering in its elections?

P.S.: Sure enough, here's an example of a "contester" : https://www.newsweek.com/mike-lindell-hints-brazil-election-rigged-cyber-guys-watched-race-1756803 https://www.newsweek.com/mike-lindell-hints-brazil-election-... AFAIK not a Brazilian citizen, but this gives an example of democracy-sapping claims that are avoided with manual vote counts.
- xorcist 4y agoThe important thing with elections isn't necessarily some abstract idea that the process itself is perfectly fair, but that people accept that it is. The process must be well known in advanced and every step auditable by all sides in real time. It is important that the losing party can not blame the process, in order for the result to be accepted by both sides. Brazil is as we speak a very clear example on the risks of not heeding this advice.
