Voting by paper as described is how it's done in most western countries for years and years. In general there are very few accusations of voting fraud.
This is because - among other things - that the system is transparent to everyone involved.
You are trying to fix a problem which don't exist - and you are fixing it the wrong way. E-voting opens up a huge amount of possibilities of cheating and worst of all it is going to be even more difficult to find out when it happens.
Worst of all the entire process will end to be transparent to the layman...
- pasbesoin 15y agoI agree. Voting is not a technical endeavor. It's a human endeavor. Trust. I suspect it might have the added benefit of putting some of the partisans in the same room and making them work together. It's hard to vilify someone to their face, and/or when you are working with them for the entire day. As for the convenience factor. If we are truly to govern ourselves, surely that endeavor merits a bit of time and effort. To borrow an aphorism, "Penny wise, pound foolish". We should be sure to make time for people to engage in the process, and to ensure to their satisfaction that it is fair.
- mkramlich 15y agoI trust code I can see and analyze much more than 1000's of strangers of dubious intellect, ethics and often clear partisan motives and incentives for fraud.
