Same reason everyone should vote in person on the day of the election with ID.

Actually not. There is no need for a secret ballot for legislooters. They should be on record for every vote. This can be done electronically just as easily as it can be done in person. It is a trivial exercise. There is no reason whatsoever for them all having to work in the District of Criminals.

This can be done electronically just as easily as it can be done in person. It is a trivial exercise.

It would have to be biometric, not just with a smartcard and PIN.

It would have to be set up so that ONLY the elected official can physically vote, not a staff member in his place.

The challenge is that many times, the voting goes back and forth as the members wheel and deal on the floor of the chamber. How would they effectively mimic that with electronic voting, so that a member can change their vote during the voting period based on real-time negotiating?

In person on the day of the vote. Anything else is subject to fraud and unseen influence which are already bad. If a pol cannot make it in person then their fitness should be suspect. Strom Thurmond could still vote if it was done electronically and Ginsburg could vote forever also.

There is no secret vote for Congress they have to vote in person and in public on all laws.

This can be done electronically just as easily as it can be done in person.

It can also be done with fake electronics.
