Insane that we even have voting machines. Paper only.
Discussion
They want to have the option to cheat and have plausible deniability
Simplest explanation
FAIR BUT ALSO OPEN SOURCE ELECTRONIC MACHINES WITH A PAPER RECEIPT YOU MANUALLY DROP IN AN AUDIT BOX IS A FINE COMPROMISE.
It’s insane that in my 100% mail-in state, I can’t see an image of my scanned ballot with the associated vote metadata
Wait, there is a state that doesn't have in person voting??
I think counties have to provide at least one in person location, but Washington has been mailing every registered voter a ballot since 2018 AFAIK
Sure, many have that, 6-8 I think. But they all still allow voting at a polling center, mail, and secure drop off I believe.
Not sure I have ever seen one that doesn't have in person at all.
True. I’m ok with that.
I don't see why we can have machines with a tiny open source app running assembly, or c, or maybe python that is verifiable by thousand or millions of programmers that it is only counting.
Alaskans fill out a paper ballot that is fed into a scanner that counts it. They keep the paper as a backup. It's not like that everywhere?
