it& #39;s 2020. voting should be electronic, anonymous, secure, easy, and publicly auditable. 1/6 https://twitter.com/ne0liberal/status/1239761561247457280">https://twitter.com/ne0libera...
i& #39;m sure there is some very good reason why this wouldn& #39;t work, but here& #39;s the idea:
each election, you& #39;re given a unique username and password. these would both be something 70 year old boomers can easily remember, like a series of words accompanied by a summary image. 2/6
each election, you& #39;re given a unique username and password. these would both be something 70 year old boomers can easily remember, like a series of words accompanied by a summary image. 2/6
on election day (or before), you log on to the election website. you vote. your vote is sent to your phone or computer as a permanent personal record. it is then publicly posted along with your username, along with everyone else& #39;s vote and username. 3/6
at no point is the username traceable to you. however, if there is suspicion of fraud or other irregularity, the election could be audited by demanding that a random subset of voters identify themselves and confirm that they voted in accordance with what& #39;s publicly posted. 4/6
like i said, i& #39;m sure there& #39;s some reason this is a really stupid idea, but even in this half assed form it might be better than "take a few hours off work to go stand in a line, then hope the voting machines don& #39;t get fucked with/ballot boxes don& #39;t get stuffed". 5/6
as a bonus, this would increase voter turnout, which is surely never a bad thing!
