- Cthulhu_ 2y agoYeah, if it is a problem then the person that cannot vote for their intended candidate (I presume it's a two step process - select, then confirm) should flag it up at the officials and the machines shut down / replaced / fixed and its manufacturer shitcanned. There's procedures for this, and instead of ragebaiting on social media there should be a firm and conclusive response. Nothing wrong with paper votes.
- zmgsabst 2y agoThey tried. Officials only pulled the machine once it went viral on social media — because the state regularly suppresses and ignores citizen concerns. Political parties use social media to detect and focus their efforts — eg, where voters were turned away in PA, videos of that on social media drew enough attention the RNC sued and won an order forcing the polling places to remain open for longer. Why do people act like social media isn’t a relevant form of communication and organization?
