Bruce Schneier is not a crank, he's written extensively over the years on the issues and the one I'm pointing out is just one specific one of many. As a software developer yourself, you might be capable of taking these issues seriously.
- akerl_ 4y agoYou don't think the staff at a polling place know whether the thing they're submitting to be counted is the printed ballots, or some other output of the ballot marking device? The article you linked doesn't seem to have any connection to the flow where a computerized machine helps mark a ballot, drops it into your hands, and you can see and review it before dropping it into a box to be counted.
- TechBro8615 4y agoYour link to Schneier got me browsing through his "voting" tag. I found it quite interesting to compare these two posts and comments, from November 25, 2016 [0] and November 27, 2020 [1]. The topic is nearly the same, - some people found some irregularities in some counties - but the tone and treatment of the claims is drastically different. It's worth considering how we discuss election security through a partisan lens.
