Bull crap! Assume ALL voting machines are potentially not secure and are subject to manipulation. ALWAYS have paper ballots that can be audited when/where necessary.

I don’t care what they say. I wouldn’t trust this system one bit. What I trust are all the old manual systems that have not had all of there checks and balances removed.

Of course none of it does any good if you don’t verify who is actually voting.

Bump for later.

Okay ... do a bunch of stuff electronically, but always have the initial paper ballot. That’s essential.

as long as it has paper receipts and publishes all votes to a public block chain... then your vote can be verified and the chain can be checked against any tampering

[Fedora]

So the same people who tap our phones, track our lives through Facebook, and police the Internet through fronts that purport to spot “fake news” also want to secure our voting system—goodie, I feel more secure already. /s

This was discovered due to Jill Stein's recount of paper ballots.

Records: Too many votes in 37% of Detroit’s precincts

Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News. Detailed reports from the office of Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett show optical scanners at 248 of the city’s 662 precincts, or 37 percent, tabulated more ballots than the number of voters tallied by workers in the poll books.

Nothing to worry about. Eventually, just lean in that forehead or extended that right hand to be scanned and identified by the system.

Works great for buying and selling.

No, we’re not there just yet.

A project like this needs someone in charge who is universally trusted with a sterling reputation, like Robert Mueller. /s

Doesn’t matter how secure the voting is - it matters who counts the votes.

If FR had one, I'd give your post a

[SauronOfMordor]

It doesn’t matter how “secure” it is, if non citizens get to vote, if people vote multiple times due to multiple residences, or if others vote for the elderly.

[McGruff]

I can make you win, but it will cost you.

[I-ambush]

It matters who counts the votes, but also who is allowed to vote, and how many “absentee “ votes are allowed to be manufactured.

[9YearLurker]

Yep.
