That's cool, I don't think I've ever seen paper ballots.
if they ever went electronic i dont think i would ever vote again. that shit's dystopian
I don't know enough about it to remark on it being dystopian.
put it this way, do you know how all the software in your phone works? because i could describe to you every step of our voting process and you can request to be present at every step to follow, open, and tally the ballots. with electronic voting, all that's out the window.
someone brought a voting machine to defcon a few years ago as a "try to hack this thing" project but it basically turned out to be pre-hacked.
Oof, alright. I think I can get on board for paper ballots.
Question, is there a scale issue when you have a large enough population?
no, voting is a lot older than computers.
Well yeah, I'd imagine it's earlier tech. I'm just saying, where I'm from the population density is probably the highest in the country. I would think paper ballots take longer and are more labor intensive than electronic ballots. Not that I'm willing to sacrifice accuracy for quicker results.
i mean, think about it. the more people you have, the more counters you can have. you make your districts so there's at most a few thousand people per district, and you designate a counter (or three) from each district. then you get a few central counters per region to verify the district counts. the more people you have, the more you can decentralise.
takes about a day or two to get the results.
