It's clearly neither. The real danger is note the adjudication of the elections themselves, it's the acceptance of the results. The danger is the belief by a plurality of the ruling party's support base that elections are somehow fraudulent, because that empowers the ruling party to ignore democracy. We may already be there, and threads like this are in fact the means by which democracy dies.
- like_any_other 1y agoHow about we don't compromise a voting system with black boxes just because there are unrelated attacks against it? If you prefer, you can think of it as following in the example of "more enlightened" countries, like in Europe, Canada, India, etc.., that already do it this way. I am from one such country, and I enjoy not having a bottomless rabbit hole of computer security underpinning our elections.
