Depends what you mean. Internet voting? Oh yeah, terrible idea. Nerds have been saying that forever Voting on unnetworked voting machines? Nothing wrong in theory, but in practice isn't very transparent, and audits aren't guarantees against error. Voting on machines that print paper ballots that are both human readable and machine scannable? That's how California does it and it's the best of all worlds in my experience.
Yup, I think this is the answer. There are a lot of good things about using a computer screen to vote - different types of information, different information densities and ways that they can be more accessible for people with impairments. You just need a verifiable paper trail in case of questions, and a printout of your vote solves that.
In the 2018 provincials elections in Ontario we had a system that used local networks at polling stations so that people could register and get their ballots from any of the stations at the location. We also had scanning machines to record votes so that at the end of the night they could be tabulated as soon as the polls closed. But we still called the results into the District Returning officer at the end of the night and we had paper copies of every cast ballot so if anything irregular occurred or if there was a recount the paper ballots would be reviewed by the recount team. The recount team would have been pulled from poll workers from other districts to ensure that the people involved in the first count couldn't be involved in the second one. In the 2022 election we went back to the old all paper system because people found the new one to be "too complicated" which is full on nonsense but I am certain that the whole Fox "News" electronic voter fraud reporting contributed to them going back to the old system that is more complex and less secure then the one they were using.
Biden popped up in Kyiv earlier today. He took Amtrak to get there. Ok technically it wasn't Amtrak, just a European train, but you get it.
Big LOL, I wasn't even talking about the accidents, just how much better consumer rail is over there.
It really is awesome in Europe. Fast, huge, organized and shockingly cheap. Travel would be a breeze here with a system half that good.
So the foreperson in the Georgia grand jury is doing television interviews. Just signing up for a barrage of MAGA death threats of a magnitude she will not be able to process, all so she can... do a hit on CNN? Just a completely unnecessary throwing of one's own self under the bus.
Watching her interviews she’s either tweaking out on drugs or has a severe underlying mental health condition and is barely keeping it together. Either would explain her throwing caution into the wind.
Take it with a grain of salt because it came from Twitter, but someone posted a screenshot of her LinkedIn and she was part of the drama club in high school. So she's a theater kid, which explains most of everything.
Who had "ban Covid vaccines" on their republican bingo card? https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/...ican-party-votes-to-ban-the-covid-19-vaccine/
In a completely not shocking turn of events, several GOP leaders are calling for Fetterman to appear on camera to prove he is still alive and not in a hospital brain dead while the Dems wait for a date to pass so his seat doesn't get put up for special election... Besides the fact this is not how seats are passed along in PA if the sitting senator dies, it's beyond crazy to me someone goes into the hospital for mental health issues and their political opponents are putting shit like this out into the ether. It's almost as bad as the MILLIONS of people who were pressing Damar Hamlin to appear on camera because they thought the NFL brought in a look a like to appear at the playoff game because they didn't want to admit he was actually dead because it would have hurt the ratings. It's things like this, the recent DoE report about Covid, vaccines, election fraud, twitter files, which make me seethe with hatred for the normalization of conspiracy theories and "alt-journalists" as the default a shocking amount of people flock to when consuming news media. Is it like this in other countries as well or is this just a US thing?
"But he's a doctor! And he believes the same things that I believe! And those raspberry ketones ( pauses to slurp giant Dunkin Donuts shake ) are gonna make me thin!" Fucking charlatan.
