Seems like the votes somehow matter. If Trump didn’t win there wouldn’t be tarifs right?

  That's assuming that the voting machines accurately counted the votes and weren't tampered with

    Tom Scott provided an excellent explanation of why electronic voting is a terrible idea. Original: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w3_0x6oaDmI Follow-up: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LkH2r-sNjQs

      Haven't watched them (yet), but I don't think it's because of the electronic side of things, but more the closed source, black-box nature of the specific devices. It would be possible to design a reasonably secure, open source voting system that would allow voters to validate their votes.

        Have you had a chance to watch them now? The videos explain why electronic vote counting itself is the problem, not the closed-source black-box nature of any particular devices.
