I'm appalled that the number 1 issue isn't even mentioned: Voting through machines doesn't work. It doesn't respect the fundamental needs for a vote (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_ballot):
- It isn't anonymous, and therefore not secret
- You have no guarantee your vote is taken into account (it can be modified, deleted, or even created in your name)
Open source doesn't solve any problem here, much like an Open source Facebook would still be able to know who you vote for and modify your vote.
- dTal 12y agoPerhaps we need some sort of BitBallot? Distributed and cryptographically guranteed.
