    I’ve been there too. It’s works pretty good. Voting machines don’t always for whatever reason, even though it’s a simple problem.

    I don’t really buy the conspiracy theories, but it should be waaay down the list of things that need automation, since elections are only occasional.

      This is naive me, but having a robust, online voting system would make it a lot easier for direct democracy.

      But we would also have to pressure politicians into using that system.

        I actually question if direct democracy would be good, after the amount of exposure to typical voters I’ve had, lol. Representatives can be questionable, but at least they know what they’re deciding on.

        Autocracy is just completely awful and depressing, though. No doubt about that.
