We need to go back to one day, in person voting using mechanical lever voting machines. No electronics, cannot be hacked, and instant vote tally. This is not too hard to fix.
I totally agree with you. After the 2000 election fiasco people started pushing for electronic voting. I warned against it because I’ve been flipping bits for decades and know how easy it is. I was laughed at by some with no technical knowledge at all.
I generally agree, but the votes should be cast on paper by marking your candidate with an X, and should be counted by hand. I’m serious. Any significant fraud on a county, state, or federal level would have to involve too many people to be effective. The results from each precinct should then be published on a publicly available website for everyone to see, and validated by the counters in each precinct. Additionally, everyone who votes should have their finger dipped in indelible purple ink that takes a week to wear off.
I was a computer programmer for 40 years. No programmer worth his salt thinks electronic voting can be made secure.
Yes, somehow it worked for decades. I truly believe Obama’s reelection was a steal, too.
