politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Phone would be incredible insecure. And impossible to audit.
You don't need phone voting to get rid of the idiotic EC, either.
This is one application where a block chain would kick ass.
No. You can't trust what you're seeing is what's being counted. You can't trust who's actually voting. With paper there's a record. With bits, they can be flipped at any point during the process and you can't really track that.
No one who programs thinks software is the solution to voting
Bury that idea. Wear gloves.
I vote by mail.
Its easier to hack millions of electronic votes than to intercept, open, tamper with ballot, then reseal the envelope. And you'd need a lot of tampering to even swing an election. Electronic hack is just a push of a button. Too easy to manipulate.
Also, how do you create the equivalent of a "ballot secrecy envelope" for the electronic based remote voting?
Show me please.
If this was the case there would be a ton of people stealing bit coin. I hear people loosing bit coin wallets to hackers who use phishing. But I've never heard of one bit coin wallet getting hacked by brute force, and less having hundreds or thousands of hacks. Yet thousands would still be less than .3% of the population. So I'm sorry but I trust a mathematical system more than I trust voting for 50 fuckers to got "vote for me" on my behalf. Cucks do that...come do my wife, on my behalf! WTF. If you don't trust a rando to do your girlfriend right, you shouldn't trust them to vote like you would like. You know what I trust? The addition sign +.... 53votes +my vote=54 votes. That's literary all this voting system must do internally and the rest is to keep that vote secure.
Unless you want all votes to become public, physical ballots is still the most secure way to do elections.
Your name doesn't have to be on the vote.
Okay so, in simple terms, explain how you intend to do electronic remote voting, while preventing a link between voters and who they voted for, and also preserving security?
