Even better, why not simply use hand counted paper ballots. That's what we use in Canada and for having worked as an election official many times I can assure you that its safe and practical. Also as a programmer I am the last person to trust a computer. Scalability: You have more citizens? Add more voting pools. What you pay in employees you saved it not paying Diebold.Safe: 2-5 people oversee each vote when they are counted and you don't need to be an engineer to certify what's going on.Fast: It takes just a couple of hours to count the whole country.Fair: Everybody all around the country use the same kind of ballot and exactly the same process is used in all voting places to count the votes.
though we were all really into this doc, my housemates and i constantly made fun of the music! it was soooo bad. we even muted during both segments where they played that "broken promise in the promise land" bullsh*talmost as bad as the music you hear in campaign advertisements!
Just like to remind everyone about the 14th Amendment(Section 2):"But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any [lawful voters] of such State, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such [voters] shall bear to the whole number of [eligible voters] in such State."In other words, if any of tomorrow's elections are found to have been won by fraud, the vote has been abridged for the number of people whose votes did not count due to the fraud, and the State could lose its representation proportionally. I'm not sure this has ever actually been enforced, or that it will be in the event, but it's interesting nonetheless.I used the bracketed replacements because the original language specifies males over 21 years of age, which was the voting requirement at the time this amendment was ratified.
