- autoexec 9mo agoInternet banking is not secure. People's accounts get hacked all the time. Your bank transactions aren't a secret from your bank though. There are a lot of eyes on your accounts (including your own) and corrections can be made after the fact. No one (including yourself) can be allowed to look up how you voted later.
- nonethewiser 9mo agoBanking errors are detectable and reversible. You also arent anonymous.
- anon291 9mo agoIf you had enough money such that reversing fraud would become a huge hindrance for your bank, you probably cannot initiate any major monetary moves without the involvement of a real person, likely one you actually know. Online banking is for amounts which the bank will just compensate you for should something happen; just a cost of doing business.
- AngryData 9mo agoInternet banking has security breaches and errors more often than you might think, it is just much easier to track down and retroactively fix any problems. The problem with elections is retroactively fixing a voting problem doesn't always happen and some of the most powerful people and groups have interests in preventing it and the common people have little real recourse when the cards come down other than rioting and potentially insurrection before they know the true results.
- GJim 9mo agoBaking and voting have a completely different set of requirements and security risks. To suggest a direct comparison is idiotic.
